Today's "First Lines" and "56" are from:
First Lines
My dearest Casper,
It's not easy to be the middle child, the one who is neither the oldest--the responsible legacy bearer--nor the youngest, pampered and cherished just because he is the last.

She looked like she'd pulled an all-nighter -- her hair stringy and limp, her skin sallow, her eyes -- oh, her eyes. Cracked and angry.
A. I use Blogger as it is the platform that I started with over 10 years ago! I can't believe it has been that long since starting my blog!

ReplyDeleteSusan May Warren is one of my all-time favorite authors, and the Christiansen family series is my favorite of hers!
ReplyDeleteToday on my blog I'm featuring Standoff by Patricia Bradley. My current read is Hadley Beckett's Next Dish by Bethany Turner, and I'm just starting chapter 14: "'For the last time,' I seethed, 'would you please get out of my way?'"
Have a great weekend, and happy reading!
SMW is definitely one of my very favorite authors also! I love this series :)
DeleteOooo, what a first line!! Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday! My first line is from “Stay With Me” by Becky Wade:
ReplyDelete“The hallway floor jolts downward beneath my feet, throwing me off balance.”
She writes great stories!! Happy weekend, stay safe!
ReplyDeleteI adored this series!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday! 🙂
Today on my blog I'm sharing from Masquerade at Middlecrest Abbey by Abigail Wilson. It's an excellent novel! Currently I'm reading Unveiling the Past by Kim Vogel Sawyer. I'm on chapter 19, so I'll post a line from there.
"It shouldn't surprise us that someone else lives at the address from 1998."
Hope you have a great weekend!
Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteThis week on my blog I shared the first line from This Wandering Heart by Janine Rosche but I'm currently reading Of Literature and Lattes by Katherine Reay so I'll share the first line from my current chapter (17) here: "Alyssa was sitting at her dad's old desk sorting through her notes on Jeremy's data when her mom walked through the back door and into the kitchen." Hope you have a great reading weekend!
My sister always comments about being the middle child. Bu she was the first girl which made her special.
ReplyDeleteMy first line is from Storing Up Trouble by Jen Turano:
ReplyDeleteSeptember 1886
The truth of the matter was this—she, Miss Beatrix Waterbury, had been banished from New York, and all because she’d had the great misfortune of landing herself in jail…twice.
Sounds interesting!
DeleteI haven't read any of Susan May Warren's books, but I find the snippets intriguing :)

I hope you're enjoying it, Colletta. Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteLove your 56 this week. I can just picture her.
ReplyDeleteI have used Blogger for over 10 years too and am quite happy with it.
Have a good week!
Doesn't time fly, Colletta! I originally started out on Blogger too but got tempted away to Wordpress.com with all their widgets, customisation options and formatting in 2017. On 30th April I decided to go down the self-hosting route and found an affordable deal - Flora's Musings is now a WP.org self-hosted blog! 💜😊
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy the rest of your week, stay safe and healthy.
