It’s FRIDAY!! This week. A week of Mondays. So glad for Friday to finally be here!
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 Thirteenth Chance by Amy Matayo. (Check out my review here)
Since in the book Olivia has an aversion to all things 13, I thought we’d make her twitchy by giving the first line from either Chapter 13 or page 13 (or location 13) – whichever floats your boat.
And the first line from CHAPTER THIRTEEN is….
“When I was five I had a fascination with perfume bottles.”
So… what’s your #13 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!
This looks like a good one. I added it to my TBR list not too long ago. 🙂
My first line…
November 1846
Southern Oregon Trail
It was a land of timber, challenge, and trepidation, forcing struggles beyond any she had known, and she’d known many in her sixty-six years.
Oh and my book is The Road We Traveled by Jane Kirkpatrick.
I was getting ready to ask haha!
“Marriages of convenience are seldom convenient.” A Lady of Sense by Sarah M Eden Blind date Collection
Ha! Great line!
“A soldier lay on top of him, but William was too weak to push him off.” From The Saratoga Letters by Elaine Marie Cooper
I haven’t heard of this one – must check out
Yay! 13 is my lucky number–I was born on Friday the 13th!
“Cade, however, remained, his gaze firmly on her. ‘You’re meaning to go head-to-head with me?’ He looked at her as though she were plumb out of her mind.” The Sheriffs of Savage Wells by Sarah M. Eden.
And yes, I know that is more than one line. I was actually going to quote 13 lines, but I thought that would be a bit excessive. LOL
Hahaha!!!
Polly’s day off dawned the way the previous day had: realizing with a start, that she’d slept later than she’d intended.
“The Nanny’s Little Matchmakers” by Danica Favorite.
A book I won from Keli Gwyn’s Love Inspired Historicals blog. 🙂
Yay!!! I’ve been wanting to read that one
SWEAT HOT AND SALTY flowed into Errol’s eyes in the sticky heat of the early fall afternoon. The Hero’s Lot by Patrick Carr

Hi Carrie,
My first line comes from Carol J. Post’s new book
Trust My Heart
Decision making’s a bear.
I just got that one in the mail the other day!
HUGS for your long week, Carrie! It’s a little cruel to pick on Olivia but I’m sure her OCD has come down several notches, thanks to Will 😉
Chapter 13
Three more men were added to their prison.
Newton and Polly by Jody Hedlund
I love that book 😀
I’m late reading this post but the book I’m currently reading is Wolfskin by Juliet Marillier and the first line is “Winter bites hard in Rogaland.”
Ooo that sounds intriguing!!
Better late than never right? Haha! This weekend was crazy! But here is my first line of chapter 13 “Dr. Hudson’s prophecy regarding the next patients proved true.” The Thorn Keeper by Pepper Basham. JUST finished….ahhhh….going to need a week to process now.
heaven help me… 😉
