Welcome to First Line Fridays. What is First Line Fridays?? It’s where we share the first line only of a book we are currently reading, or one that is on our shelves. This week’s first is from For Love Of Liberty by Julie Lessman.
Here is the first line:
NOVEMBER 13,1863
FRANKLIN, TENNESSEE
21 MILES SOUTH OF NASHVILLE
“Very nice stitching, Mrs. Prescott.”
I love this cover! It’s the simplicity that catches me with it. I would love to live here. How about you?
What’s your first line? Leave me a comment below and then visit the home of First Line Fridays at Hoarding Books to see all the other awesome participants.
You’re right. That is a beautiful cover!
My first line comes from Deborah Raney’s Circle of Blessings:
Dakota Territory, 1864
It was almost closing time, and in all of his seventeen years, James Collingwood could not remember being so bone-weary as he felt tonight.
Merry Christmas!
Yes, it’s a beautiful cover. I love the look of snow, but I don’t much like the cold.
I’m sharing from All is Bright by Andrea Grigg over on my blog, a wonderful novella set in Australia … which means a summer Christmas (FYI, that’s normal for me. Not so normal for most of you, or for my Icelandic pastor and his family.)
I’m currently reading A Sweethaven Christmas by Courtney Walsh, an new favourite author. Here’s the first line:
“Why is that woman staring over here?” Lila shifted in the tall-backed linen-covered chair and nodded towards a blonde woman at the bar.
I suspect this is going to be more than a Christmas story …
Blessings as you celebrate the birth of our Saviour this week!
Wouldn’t mind someone courting me from that balcony from the book cover. Lol
My line is from: The Gathering (Darkness Rising Book 1)
by Kelley Armstrong
“Serena stood on the rock ledge twenty feet above the lake, singing in a voice known to bring tears to the eyes of everyone who heard it.”
Beautiful cover! The book I’m featuring on my blog is A Match of Sorts by Lucette Nel. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
