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: 

  The Christmas Cookie House
by Jennifer Griffith


And the first line is...

"Leela Miller tugged at the hem of her shirt, rolling a thread between her loose fingers." 

Happy reading and happy Friday!

    Happy Friday! 😀
    Today on my blog I'm sharing the first line from The Best-Laid Plans by Sarah M. Eden: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2021/01/08/first-line-friday-169/. Currently I'm reading Acceptable Risk by Lynette Eason so I'll share from there:
    "Sarah stood outside Dustin's duplex door and drew in a steadying breath."
    I hope you have a great weekend! 🙂❤📚

    Happy Friday! Today, I'm sharing the first line from The Christmas Swap by Melody Carlson. "Emma Daley had always loved Christmas as a child, but . . . not so much as an adult."

    My first line us from Endless Mercy by Tracie Peterson and Kimberley Woodhouse. The second book in the series Treasures of Nome.
    Nome, Alaska. September 1904
    The lively tune on the piano couldn’t keep up with the smile in Madysen’s heart.
