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 continuing my #CFRR2019 FLF series, spotlighting books from the authors who joined us for the Christian Fiction Readers Retreat in April.
The book I’m featuring today is Amish Safe House by Debby Giusti, one of our CFRR2019 (and 2016 & 2017) authors!
And the first line is…
Gunfire!
Eep! That certainly got my attention! How about you?
Let me know the first line of the book closest to you & then head over to Hoarding Books to see who else is participating!
If you’re a blogger or just a social media-er, we’d love for you to join us too!
Wars weren’t won with caution, and aces weren’t made in straight and level flight.

It was our last day in Paris.
My husband (and yes, I was really loving that word – a lot) Derek and I had breakfast on the private terrace of the hotel suite, enjoying the spectacular view of the city that was spread out before us.
THE BOOK SUPREMACY by Kate Carlisle
ooo that sounds good – i need to catch up on that series
What an action-filled start!
Over on my blog, I’m sharing the first line from A Reluctant Bride by Jody Hedlund. Here I’ll share with you the first line from chapter 4 of the same book.
“Mercy stood in the long line of tenants waiting for a turn at the water spigot at the back of the building.”
i’m so looking forward to reading that one!
“Wait Here.”
our two first lines could go together LOL
Happy Friday!
Today on my blog I am sharing the first line from Summer by the Tides by Denise Hunter: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2019/05/30/first-line-friday-89/. I am currently on chapter 4, so I will share a line from there.
“The sun was almost overhead by the time Connor has a moment to breathe.”
Hope you have a great weekend. Happy reading! ???

The title alone leaves me with tons of questions! Happy reading Carrie!

DUCK! I’m currently reading The Reluctant Guardian by Susanne Dietze… “With a furtive pat, Gemma Lyfeld blotted her nerve-damp palms on her white muslin gown.”
i love that book 😀
Well, that first line could go just about anywhere. Definitely a hook.
Here is my post for First Line Friday. https://carlalovestoread.wordpress.com/2019/05/31/first-line-friday-may-31-2019/
Hi Carla! 🙂
I came home with that one from CFRR 🙂
Today on my blog I featured A Reluctant Bride by Jody Hedlund which I just finished last night. My next read is going to be Where Hope Begins by Catherine West so I’ll share that first line here: “My husband is leaving me.” I think I’m in for an intense read! Hope you have a wonderful weekend with some quality reading time 🙂
oh my goodness – I ugly cried in Where Hope Begins – it’s SO GOOD!!!
Happy Friday, Carrie! I’m sharing Amish Fiction as well. Here is the second line from Kelly Irvin’s Through the Autumn Air:
“Mary Katherine Ropp stood motionless in the middle of her kitchen, a platter holding a two-layer German chocolate cake covered in whipped cream cheese frosting nestled in her hands.”
i love her books! and now I’m hungry 😛
Happy Weekend! My first line is from “When Love Blossoms: Book 2 of the Kindred Lake Series” by Elaine Stock:
“Kierra Madden grasped the phone tighter in both disbelief and gratitude.”
yay! i love Elaine’s books!
I loved meeting Debby at CFRR. Thanks for sharing this book’s first line!
she’s so sweet, isn’t she?
Happy Friday! Today I’m sharing the first lines from Wooing Cadie McCaffrey by Bethany Turner: “Four years ago, on my thirtieth birthday, I had two very important realizations.”
