Hello First Liners! Thank you for joining me again this week—or WELCOME if this is your first time. 🙂
This week for First Line Friday, I’m giving you the first line from another debut: Someplace Familiar by Teresa Tysinger. This releases next Tuesday on 30 May, and I’m looking forward to starting it very soon!
~ About the Book ~
Jack can’t believe his childhood crush is back. As the owner of Bowdon’s Supplies, and once again the town’s most eligible bachelor, he offers to help Livy with repairs. Together they embark on the project—and an undeniable whirlwind romance.
But it’s not all smooth sailing. Can they survive the destructive pain of their pasts to discover God’s grace waiting to renovate their hearts?
~ First Line ~
Not much had changed about Laurel Cove, North Carolina in the ten years since Livy Johnson had last visited.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Good morning. My first line is from, “Vendetta,” by Lisa Harris.
“The initial step off the sheer face of a three-hundred-plus-foot drop was always the most terrifying.”
Happy Reading!
It is! But then it’s a great buzz! 😁
My first line comes from FIRSTBORN by Tosca Lee.
Six weeks ago, I woke up in a cabin in the north woods of Maine with no memory of the last two years or any pertinent details of my life before.
Happy Weekend and Happy Reading!
Ahh! Such a good read!
My first line is:
Once there was a tree… ~The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein
I have been reading this book to my kids every night for the last month. They love it!
Dinh @Arlene’s Book Club
We have two of his books of poems. The kids love them!
Oh, you had me at North Carolina!! I’m going to have to add this to my reading list 🙂
My work here is done! 🙂
I’ve pre-ordered the book! Now I just have to wait until May 30th. (Ok, in all honestly I have to wait a bit longer than that before I can read it.) But it may just wiggle its way up the line!
Yay! Enjoy 🙂
It almost sounds like a Hallmark movie. 😉
This week, I’m trying to put some reading time into “The Memoirs of General William T. Sherman” (for research) and “Threads of Suspicion (by Dee Henderson–my first of hers to read).
I’ll be interested to know what you think of Dee’s book. Have a great weekend. 🙂
I might feature it on a future FLF. 🙂
Happy Friday!! I pre-ordered Someplace Familiar.
My first line is from White by Denise Weimer: “The dream started the way Jennifer’s actual visit to the house at 104 Main Street, Hermon, had begun, on a road that hurtled past green fields & dust-blown wildflowers into forever, ending in a community time had forgotten.”
Wow! Sounds good!
I’m looking forward to Teresa’s debut! Here’s my first line today (from the prologue): “Night crept over the hills, smothering the landscape in a cocoon of darkness that would hide him in a few minutes.” — Colleen Coble’s Haven of Swans (the cover is intriguing, too!).
Ooh! Love it! And you’re right about that cover. 🙂
Happy Weekend! That’s a line alright! Sounds really good!
Happy weekend to you, too! 🙂
Aw, yay!!! I can’t wait to read this book and Teresa is on my blog tomorrow!!! Here’s what I’m currently reading…
The euphoria of winning a hard case vied in her thoughts with wondering what came next as Haden McCarthy left the Alexandria courthouse.
Beyond Justice by Cara Putman
I enjoyed that one! 🙂
Ohhhh!! Since I’m from North Carolina I LOVE this first line!
I’m looking forward to reading it. Have a great weekend! 🙂
From the prologue of Seven Brides for Seven Mail-Order Husbands Romance Collection
Kansas, 1865
Abigail Melton entered the kitchen to the sight of her mother slumped over the table, a telegram clutched in one hand.
The fictional town of Turtle Springs lost almost all their men to the Civil War.
Oh wow. What a beginning! I definitely want to read that now.
On my blog is the first line from Irene Onorato’s upcoming release so I have decided to share the first line from a book that’s gotten buried on my kindle entitled Back Home Again by Melody Carlson.
“Thin rays of afternoon sunlight filtered through the leaves of the old maple tree that dominated the front yard of the Howard family home.”
Sounds gorgeous!
Sounds like an interesting book. Here’s mine from a book I just finished reading: Count Me in by Mikal Dawn.
“The little hairs on the back of Allegra Spencer’s neck stood at attention.”
I can’t wait to read this one!
Love reminiscent lines…I want to know how much life has changed for her and why she chose to go back to the beginning part of her days.
I’m going to find out very soon! Have a good weekend. 🙂
