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: 

  Checked Out 
by Elizabeth Craig 


And the first line is...

"I'd just finished checking out some cookbooks for a young mom when the library doors flew open and two sopping wet boys rushed up to the circulation desk." 

Happy reading and happy Friday!   

       
Let me know your first line in the comments & then head over to

    Happy Friday! 😀
    Today on my blog I'm sharing from As Easy as Cherry Pie by Bell Renshaw. I'm just getting to chapter 3, so I'll share a line from there.
    "Maggie flipped on the fluorescent lights in the shop's kitchen and stifled a yawn."
    Have an excellent weekend! 🙂❤📚

    My first line is from a book just released by Izzy James. It’s a historical THE SHOPKEEPER’S WIDOW.
    30 September, 1775. Borough of Norfolk, Virginia
    With a startled swipe of her arm, Delany Fleet brushed Noah’s animal ps to the floor.
    My reviews are up.

    Happy Friday! My first line is from “To Love a Prince” by Rachel Hauck:

    “It is said in the north country of Lauchtenland that the sea has a song and love blooms from the earth the same as flora and fauna.”

    Happy Friday!!

    Oh that line sounds like this is a fun book!!

    Today on my blog I'm sharing from The Christmas Visitor an Amish novella from Amy Grochowski! "After a long trek to the veterinarian's office, Mattie Beller was out of breath before she managed to push her scooter halfway up the steep hill to Annandale Farm."
