Happy Friday!
And welcome to First Line Fridays, hosted by Hoarding Books!!!
Since it’s Friday, it’s time to grab the book nearest to you and leave a comment with the first line.
I’m back with my feature of recent award nominees/finalists that I haven’t previously used for a FLF post.
The book I’m featuring today is Life After by Katie Ganshert
a nominee for the 2017 RT Reviewer’s Choice Awards!
And the first line is….
“We rarely know when death will come.”
Congratulations, Katie, on the much-deserved nomination!! One of my fave reads last year!
Let me know the first line of the book closest to you & then head over to Hoarding Books to see who else is participating…and get a peek at Katie’s newest book, No One Ever Asked!
If you’re a blogger or just a social media-er, we’d love for you to join us too!
I just started Burnin’ for You by Susan May Warren, the third in the Montana Fire series.
If they started running now, they just might make the lake before the fire consumed them.
i must catch up with that series – i’ve only read one and it was so good!

An Open Heart by Harry Kraus, MD
oh that sounds good!
Happy Friday! My FLF comes from a book I will be reading soon, Her Fear by Shelley Shepard Gray…….
Until that moment, Sadie Detweiler hadn’t thought mere words could hurt so badly. But as Harlan continued to speak, each word cutting her as deeply as if it were a shard of glass, Sadie felt her heart was bleeding.
Have an awesome weekend and Happy Reading!?
i love her books!

(I absolutely loved Life After – couldn’t put it down!)
Life After is amazing, isn’t it? I’m curious about your first line – and what comes after it! I’ll have to check it out 😀
For the first time in her life, Megan Jacobs felt almost brave.
THE HEART BETWEEN US by Lindsay Harrel
i love that book!!
Life After and No One Ever Asked are both on my kitchen table right now. Amazon delivered them this week. I can’t wait to start them.
oh YAY! Get ready for some intense reading lol
Over on my blog I’m sharing the first line from The Weaver’s Daughter by Sarah E. Ladd. Here I’ll share the first line from chapter 30.
“Henry winced as he gripped the newel post and pivoted from the stair’s landing to the next flight of stairs.” — The Weaver’s Daughter by Sarah E. Ladd (first line from chapter 30)
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
an excellent read!

Happy Friday!
i’m looking forward to that read!
Katie’s books are so powerful and moving!
I’m reading Julie by Catherine Marshall right now (for a certain blog tour coming up). 🙂 The first line is: “Our 1928 Willys-Knight had been climbing for at least ten miles, one hairpin turn after another, under a threatening sky.”
Have a wonderful weekend!
A certain blog tour, huh? 😉 Have you ever read Julie before? I read it eons ago in middle school but am looking forward to reading it again.
Just wanted to say I loved Life After!
Love the cover! Happy Friday!
have a great weekend!
Happy Friday!
My first lines come from Lexi Blake’s Close Cover.
“The light in his face blocked out the view of the man interrogating him. Remy blind in the glare and sighed. He should have known things wouldn’t go the way he’d hoped it would.”
I’m featuring lines from Lacey Black’s upcoming release My Kinda Player on my blog. I’d love you to stop by!
oh that sounds intense!
Peter Pan by J.W. Barrie
“All children, except one, grow up. “
brings back lots of nostalgic memories 🙂
Well there is much truth in these lines!
Happy Friday!
“Stop interrogating me. I’m not going to say anything different,” a panic-stricken voice shrieked after begging for the third time to leave for the hospital. “There was so much blood.”
These lines come from Father Figure by James J Cudney. A suspense and family drama with an intricate plot like none other!
oh yikes! that’s a riveting first line!
No One Ever Asked is on my TBR list. I also want to read A Broken Kind of Beautiful by this author. I hope you have a nice weekend!
All her books are AMAZING!
Happy Friday! I’m sharing from library books today, since it is National Library Week, so here is the first line from Laura V. Hilton’s Love by the Numbers:
“He was gorgeous. Simply gorgeous.”
And I can’t decide if that is a good thing or a bad thing. Like, would we really act any differently if we knew exactly when and where death was coming? Happy Friday!
lol
That’s a truth we cannot argue about. 🙂 On my blog, I’m featuring Jen Turano’s book, A Match of Wits. Here I will share the first line on page 113 of a book I’m currently reading, The Heaven Answer Book by Billy Graham. “Marriage in Heaven will be on a much higher plane because the church will be united with Christ.” Wishing you a wonderful weekend.
what a wonderful thought! <3
