First Line Fridays


Grab the book nearest to you and leave a comment with the first line!

Today I am going to post a line from: 

  Word to the Wise 
by Jenn McKinlay


And the first line is...

"'Too meringue, too low-cut, holy bananas, too high-cut!'  Lindsey Norris sat at the reference desk of the Briar Creek Public Library and clicked through a website full of wedding dresses."  

Happy reading and happy Friday!   

       
Let me know your first line in the comments & then head over to 
Hoarding Books to see who else is participating!

  2. My first line is a long one from Chapter two of Vying for The Viscount by Kristi Hunter:
    Suffolk was as beautiful as his father had claimed, and the estate and stables were even grander than his grandfather had described in his letters, but no one had warned Hudson that the area was inhabited by crazed women.

  3. Happy Friday!
    I'm currently reading The Crushing Depths by Dani Pettrey. I'm on chapter 41, so I'll share from there.
    "When Logan left to meet Bella Armstrong at a coffee shop and Emmy was engrossed in searching for answers on Rick Carson, Noah grabbed the folder Austin Kelly had given them and tucked it under his arm."
    Hope you have a relaxing weekend! 🙂❤📚
