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 Thief of Blackfriars Lane
by Michelle Griep


And the first line is...

April 1885
London

"For want of a properly working pocket watch, Jackson Forge failed to save the world today--or at least the city of London.  Now he'd be lucky to save himself."  

Happy reading and happy Friday!

  2. I have not read this book, but it is on my never ending TBR list ;) My first line is from Love's Dwelling by Kelly Irvin. "A crimson cardinal perched on top of the empty bird feeder outside the kitchen window."

  3. I'm reading Before I Called You Mine by Nicole Deese. It's absolutely amazing. Here's a line from the chapter I'm currently on: "in the eighth grade I went on my first-ever real camping trip to the mountains with a group from my school."
    Hope you have a wonderful weekend! 🙂❤📚
