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

March 1913

ReplyDeleteLove the cover. Wouldn't you love it if we could dress that way today? My Friday quotes for PATRON SAINTS OF NOTHING
ReplyDeleteI had to giggle at the 56. Love the snark. Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteLoved that book! Today I'm sharing the first lines from Light From Distant Stars by Shawn Smucker: "Cohen Marah clears his throat quietly, more out of discomfort than the presence of any particular thing that needs clearing, and attempts to step over the body for a second time."

ReplyDeleteThat first line is a winner. And I want to get to know Ella.

ReplyDeleteI’m sharing on my blog the first line from Starting Anew by Melanie D. Snitker.
Lynn Crosby sat up in bed, unsure of what actually woke her up.
Happy Weekend! My first line is from "Choose Me" by Marion Ueckermann:
