It’s First Line Friday time again! I crossed another book off my TBR mountain this week: Another Day, Another Dali,* by Sandra Orchard. If you love suspense with a dash of romance, a pinch of dry humour, and a handful of quirky characters, then you really should check this series out.
I tore my gaze from the porch that wrapped around the drug dealer’s house and cringed at the number on my phone’s display.
Mom said there’d be days like this.
Now it’s your turn. Pick up the book nearest you (or the book you’re currently reading) and let me know what your first line is. Then hop on over and visit my First Line Friday buddies and share with them, too!

I’m skipping around in my book here. This is the first line from Chapter 23 of “Jane Eyre,” by Charlotte Bronte. “A splendid Midsummer shone over England: skies so pure, suns so radiant as were then seen in long succession, seldom favour even singly, our wave girt land.” Jane Eyre is one of my all time favorite classics. 🙂
What a beautiful sentence! And a beautiful book. I’ve read that a few times myself 😊
It was a terrible night to die. Tangled Webs by Irene Hannon
Perhaps she should wait for a better night then? Lol!
My first line for the week is:
A Spy’s Devotion by Melanie Dickerson
April 1811. London, England.
“Mr. Nicholas Langdon wasn’t supposed to be here. Miss Julia Grey blinked, but he was still standing across the room from where she sat at the pianoforte.”
Happy reading and happy Friday!
Thanks for stopping by 🙂
The whispers filled all her silence. Forest Child by Heather Day Gilbert
Ooh! That’s a good one. Thanks for sharing 🙂
her silences. (oops)
“Carrington felt as though she’d collided with a moving train.” – The Choosing by Rachelle Dekker LOVING it! Happy Friday!
I’m in the middle of ‘The Returning’ at the moment. I think it’s the best of the three! Great series 🙂
What a weekend!!! Better late than never 😉
Huge hands ripped at Cole Sanders’ shirt and ripped him away from Audrey Vaughn’s embrace.
Tackling the Fields by Janet W. Ferguson
Btw, your title font is absolutely lovely!
Thanks 🙂 I thought you’d been a bit quiet this weekend! 😉
That’s a great first line. I read ‘Leaving Oxford’ recently and can’t wait to read the rest of this series.
May 1813
Was this the night she would actually die of tedium, triviality, and hypocrisy?
