Today's "First Lines" and "56" are from:
First Lines
Cheyenne, Wyoming Territory, October 1886
It was only wind.
Charlotte Harding wrapped her arms around her waist, trying to convince herself there was not reason to tremble like a cottonwood leaf in a storm.
Page 56
As Miriam and Mr. Eberhardt made their way toward the door, Mr. Landry appeared unconcerned. "Are you enjoying the concert?" he asked Charlotte.

ReplyDeleteToday on my blog I am sharing the first line from Finders Keepers by Sarah Monzon: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2019/09/12/first-line-friday-101/. It's such a good book. Currently, I am reading book 2 in the series, All of You, so I will share a line from there.
"England, 1944
The gangplank bounced under the weight of passengers disembarking the large transatlantic liner -- a veritable Goliath to the small David-like tugboats dotting the harbor."
Hope you have a great weekend. Happy reading!
Sounds like a delightful read! Happy Friday the 13th weekend!

Happy Friday! Today on my blog I shared the first line from Shades of Light by Sharon Garlough Brown but I'm currently reading My Dearest Dietrich by Amanda Barratt so I'll share the first line from chapter 7 here: "Like a rent in fabric formerly whole, the wake of her vater's absence yawned wide and gaping." Hope you have a great weekend!
