First Lines Friday and 56 ~ 12/7/18

Today's "First Lines" and "56" are from:


 



 

Elin Summerall bolted upright in the bed.  Her heart pounded, and she touched her throat and found it smooth and unharmed.
 
 Page 56



Flashes of lightening lit her bedroom as she snuggled under the sheet and opened the first diary.  She'd been dying to read it, and she wasn't about to go back to sleep and fall into that nightmare again.

  3. I love Colleen Coble! Wish I had time to reread her books.


    I am showcasing the book `Shadows of Deception` (Ashley Dawn) on my blog,

    So here I'll put the first line of a non-fiction book I am reading.

    Next Level Thinking (Joel Osteen)

    So often we let our environment, how we were raised, and other people's expectations of us set the limits for our life.

  9. Happy Friday!

    On my blog, I'm sharing the first couple of lines from Silent Days, Holy Night by Phyllis Clark Nichols. I'm just starting chapter 2 now, so I'll post the first lines from there.

    "'Since I can't go to Grancie's today, could I go tomorrow?' I didn't think Dad was looking, so I took another sugar cube and stirred it into my tea."

    Hope you have a great weekend filled with awesome reading time. 😀❤📚

  11. Although the main character is prone to nightmares, I don't get much of a feeling for where this is heading?
