Today's "First Lines" and "56" are from:
I'm still reading The Butterfly and the Violin but the lines are new:

Vienna, Austria

Happy Reading!

Happy Friday!
LOVED that book!
ReplyDeleteThe book I shared this week is Freedom's Light by Colleen Coble but I'm currently reading an ARC of The Liberty Bride by MaryLu Tyndall so I'll share the first line here: "What would it feel like to drown…to float listlessly down… down… beneath the chilled waters of the Atlantic?" I can honestly say I don't want to find out! Hope you have a great weekend with lots of reading time! :)
