Today's "First Lines" and "56" are from:
First Lines
Connecticut, 1890
"You and your brother are to go to the music room, close the door, and don't come out until I say you can." It was strange for the maid to be ordering Rosalind around, but nothing had been normal since Mama and Papa got sick.
Page 56

ReplyDeleteI'm sharing the first line from The Merchant's Yield by Lorri Dudley: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2020/03/27/first-line-friday-129/. I'm just starting the novel, so I will share another line from the book here today.

Pretty cover! I'm quite intrigued by those snippets as well. Sounds like a great read! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday! My first line is from "Marry Me" by Autumn Macarthur:
ReplyDelete"The intercom on the hospital room wall beeped, interrupting Melanie and Alia's fast and furious clapping game and their storm of giggles."
That first quote sound like something you'd expect someone to say today to family members. My Friday quotes
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy reading about that time period. Thanks for sharing!

Happy Friday! Today, I'm sharing the first line from On Wings of Devotion by Roseanna M. White: "A stranger stalking down the street shouldn't make her hands tremble in anticipation."
