First Lines Friday and 56 ~ 8/16/19

https://hoardingbooksblog.wordpress.com/


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

I'm still reading " A Lady Unrivaled" so I'll give you the first line from the page I'm on and a different line from page 56.

First Lines

 
Paris, France
 
Kira Belova tucked her hand into the crook of Andrei's elbow, made sure her prettiest smile was in place, and prayed her knee didn't give out.


 Page 56
 
 
Cayton went to work on the little fingers nearest him.  "I daresay she is simply intrigued by the shade, my lady.  I don't know that she's ever seen red hair before."

P.S. I hope you come join in the Fall Into Reading Challenge!

  4. From the excerpt you shared, she is either nervous or upset about something. I can't help but wonder what it is. I hope you are enjoying The Lady Unrivaled! Have a great weekend.

  5. LOVE the first line! She sounds like an intriguing character who wants to maintain a certain image, regardless of pain in her knee!
    My post features a mystery: Bless Me Father For I Have Sinned.

  6. The first line sets up a novel that defies expectations. Hope it lives up to the promise for you.

  9. Happy Friday! My first line is from “The Redemption Road” by Christa MacDonald:

    “The jingle of sleigh bells rang out as the door to the shop swung open.”

  10. Roseanna's books always have such stunning cover art!! <3
    Today on my blog I shared the first line from My Dearest Dietrich by Amanda Barratt. I just finished A Glitter of Gold by Liz Johnson but I'm about to start The Healing Jar by Wanda Brunstetter so I'll share that first line here: "Tears sprang to Lenore Lapp’s eyes as she stood with the others who had come to witness this special English wedding." Happy reading!

  12. I hope she’s not in too much pain! It sounds like a good read. :)

    I’m sharing on my blog the first line from When Mountains Sing by Stacy Monson.

    The clash of cologne, sweat, and ego assaulted her senses as it did every weekday morning.

  13. It's been awhile since I read that book, but I remember it being good! Today I'm sharing the first lines from The Killing Tide by Dani Pettrey: "Fire ripped through Finn's right shoulder, ricocheting down his arm." Have a great weekend!
