Happy Friday, y’all! Is anyone else as happy as I am to see the weekend on the horizon?
Since it’s Friday, it’s also time to grab the book nearest to you and leave a comment with the first line!
The book I’m featuring today is Love’s Faithful Promise by Susan Anne Mason. I cannot WAIT to dive into this book; I have loved this series so much!!
And the first line is….
“Deidre O’Leary strode down the wide corridor on the second floor of Manhattan’s Bellevue Hospital, her stomach quivering with each step.”
So… what’s your First Line on this Friday?
Let me know in the comments and then head over to share your First Line with these friends:
Speaking of these delightful friends, we all met up at #CFRR2016 and of course we just had to get a pic together! Love these ladies so much!!
Besides me, from L-R, meet Singing Librarian Books, Bookworm Mama, and Faithfully Bookish 🙂
If you’d like to join us on your blog for First Line Fridays, shoot me an email and let me know!
“Becky Martin had escaped one bad situation only to find herself in the middle of another.” From A Home of Her Own by Keli Gwyn. This is the 2nd historical fiction of hers that I have read & I am really enjoying it!
i have not read anything by Keli yet but i want to!
For once, I have a book with me while I am eating lunch. I just finished it, though. From Denise Hunter’s “Just a Kiss”.
“Paige Warren checked her watch, then peeked around Miss Trudy’s silver head for the dozenth time. Riley’s plane had landed . . . .. ”
Definitely falls into your “kissing books” category!
ahhhhh!! I can’t wait!!
Brand new book today! “All at once, the Reverend James Horton understood why Frank Whitmore had killed himself.” Lead Me Home by Amy Sorrells.

Book Envy is a thing, right? Love the pic of you four ladies!
My first line, book closest to me, could have already done this before, but here goes:
“When a bride finds The Dress, There is joy, laughter, and on some occasions, even spontaneous dancing.” – Love, Lace and minor Alterations by Joy Palmer

I just received The Raven (Coffey & Hill #2) by Mike Nappa in the mail yesterday, so…
“My daddy used to tell me the best way to stay out of trouble was to think about tomorrow before you act today.”
Love that picture of you ladies! 😀

Nick Stafford stared at the half-buried, round-roofed dwelling and realized he couldn’t go through with the elementary school principal’s edict.

Here goes, two first line’s since I sadly had no books near me last week.

He took the pinch of cotton Sue offered and rubbed it between his short pudgy fingers.
Vow Unbroken by Caryl McAdoo
Both are books I was blessed to win in different blog contests!
haha yay!! 🙂
At least no one will have to come check my pulse! I’m alive, barely. Nearly got creamed in the loaner (big nosed beast as I call it) vehicle today. Some less than blessed person ran(at high speed) a red light as I was turning left with a green arrow, I slammed on my brakes and swerved into the oncoming lanes, stopping before I hit anyone, Praise the Lord. The guy behind me just blew his horn at me as he drove around.
YIKES!!! Oh my goodness – so glad you’re ok! 🙂
Weekend is when I get to hide in a room with my books, right? No? Oh. 🙁
Awwww, do you have the FLF reunion planned yet? LOL, jk!!! You need some R&R&R (rest, recovery, and reading… obviously)!
Okay! I’m reading Candace Calvert’s novella, The Recipe (AND btw she’s having a contest, check out her facebook page)
“Lucas Marchal fully expected his grandmother to show no interest in her hospital dinner tray; her appetite had dwindled to almost nothing. But in his wildest dreams he wouldn’t have imagined that her dour, no-nonsense nurse’s aid would lift the dish cover, scream, then stumble backward and fall to the floor.”
(the first line was sad and lonely, I can’t help myself)
haha! this sounds like a fun novella – i shall have to check it out 😀 And as for the FLF reunion (LOL) …. i’m still recovering haha!
Sweet story! I like Calvert’s books!
“The stage lights were down, but then an electric guitar buzzed from the darkened stage, igniting the crowd gathered in the Iowa Stafe Fair grandstand” from The Sweet By and By authored by Sara Evans with Rachel Hauck. I love Rachel Hauck’s books!
ooo I forgot about this book! I need to check it out
“Do you know who I see behind this thick glass? A distorted image I call me.”
The Returning by Rachelle Dekker , 3rd in the series
Oh, I can’t wait for this one. Weren’t the other 2 great?
I need to read that series at some point!
Well, I saw this post earlier today and the only book close was my copy of The One Year Bible and of course the first line is “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
It is still Friday (but not for long) and the nearest book now is The Domino Effect by Davis Bunn. “Esther Larsen hurried along the corridor, racing the clock.”
Hope your day was fantastic and the weekend simply mahvelous, Dahling!
Haha! Thank you, dahling! You too 🙂
“If Jake Palmer had only kept the mundane promise he’d made to himself, his life wouldn’t be headed down a dead-end road at the speed of light.”
This one’s obvious! And it’s quite interesting, so far.
Oooo yay! I just got the ARC of this!
