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: 

  Buried to the Brim
by Jenn McKinlay


And the first line is...

"If I held my left hand just so, I could see the diamonds catch and scatter the light, even the dreary February light in London, into a million rainbows.  I.  Scarlett Parker, was engaged to be married."  

Happy reading and happy Friday!

    This is my favorite cozy mystery series! I'm reading Set the Stars Alight by Amanda Dykes: "The smell of cinders permanently etched the abandoned Bessette Match Factory into the minds of all who passed." :)

      Awesome! I love reading cozy mysteries--Ellery Adams and Laura Childs are two of my other favorite cozy mystery authors. Happy reading!

    Happy Friday! Today, I'm sharing the first line from Until I Met You by Tari Faris: "Today was a new start, and this time running back home wasn't an option."

    Happy Friday!
    I'm sharing the first line from Storing Up Trouble by Jen Turano on my blog. I'm currently on chapter 22, so I'll share a line from there.
    "Before Norman could fully process the idea of a giggling Theo, Stanley was escorting Theo into the room, beaming a bright smile at her, one she was certainly returning."
    I hope you have a great weekend. 🙂❤📚

    Happy Friday! My first line is from “Valley of Shadows” by Candace West:

    “The torrent swept away Lorena’s well-devised surprise into the muck.”
