ReplyDeleteOver on my blog this week, I’m sharing the first line from Jody Hedlund’s newest YA book, Foremost.
ReplyDeleteHere I’ll share the first line of a book I’m nearly finished reading, Aiming for Love by Mary Connealy.
“Josephine Nordegren floated through the woodland silent as a ghost.”
Now that line makes me want to pick up the book and read it!! Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteI love that intro! And your 56 excerpt has me even more curious. I hope you are enjoying Gunpowder Tea, Colletta. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!
ReplyDeleteToday on my blog I'm sharing the first line from Christmas in Winter Hill by Melody Carlson. I'm currently reading Freedom's Kiss by Sarah Monzon. I'm just starting chapter 29, so I'll share the first line from there.
"Florida, 1832
Winnie felt like a cow being led to slaughter, just waiting her turn to stand before the butcher with a club in his hand."
Hope you have a great weekend filled with excellent reading time. 🙂❤📖
Your 56 sounds like a fun read!
