Thank goodness for Fridays!!
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 The Devoted by Suzanne Woods Fisher, another series I’ve really enjoyed!
And the first line is….
“The bad thing about Ruthie Stolzfus’s job was that it barely paid minimum wage and she had no job security.”
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:
If you’d like to join us on your blog for First Line Fridays, shoot me an email and let me know!
How much was a year of someone’s life worth?
Love’s Sure Dawn – An Eagle Harbor Novel by Naomi Rawlings
i’ve got that one in my list to read!
I have this one on my TBR pile too! Yay!! š
Here is my first line:
It’s not that you can do this, Kimberly Gallagher’s conscience prodded as she strode through the elegantly appointed welcomeing area of her mother’s central New York wedding and event-organizing enterprise.
~An Unexpected Groom by “Ruthy” aka Ruth Logan Herne š
yay! lol! Love Ruthy’s books š Even though Goodreads refuses to acknowledge the proper spelling of her name haha!
I know. Right!!!! LOL! I love her books too! š
The Anderson shelter had guarded his life for another night, but it felt like a grave. Fifth Column by Mike Hollow. I’m hoping to finish this one tonight.
ooo that’s a very intriguing first line!
“I fear that our wassailing has become a nuisance.” – Newton & Polly – Ahhhhh I am dying to start it….
ahhhhh me too!!
Me three!!!
“September 11, 2001. The ringing jolted Travis Harders from a deep sleep.” – Grace to Save by Carol Moncado
oh wow! must check that one out! Powerful date
I don’t know if you’ve read any of her other books, but all of them are connected in some way. This one though is totally fine to read on its own because the main characters have only been minor characters in the other books. On that note however, Carol has two free books on Amazon including her first one, Finding Mr. Write.
she has been on my radar for a while now and I’m hoping to keep December relatively free from scheduled reviews so I can catch up!
The trouble with lassoing a Texas cyclone was-now you had a cyclone on the end of your rope.
Isn’t that a great first line? Love it!
Longhorn Christmas by Mary Connealy
Cowboy Christmas Homecoming novella collection
haha! I love Mary’s lines!
Oh boy! I am so excited about this collection!!
i am too – cannot wait!

Whitlow’s books are great suspense!

I’m having trouble deciding what to read next (a bit spoiled with great choices right now) but think I might start this tonight. This will be my first book by her.
