Welcome to First Line Friday, hosted by Hoarding Books! Can you believe it’s the last day of August?
I’ve just finished reading Katherine Scott Jones’s novel Shadow Sister, a touching and emotional story about sisters and families, shadows and light. My review will be up next week, but for now, I’m giving you a peek at the first line.

PROLOGUE
“Jenna—” Jonas stands from the scuffed table in the smoky hotel restaurant. “Baby, it’s time.”
You might need a tissue or two, but it’s worth it. 🙂
I’d love it if you’d share the first line of whatever you’re currently reading in the comments. And don’t forget, you can find out what other bloggers are sharing for First Line Friday by going over to Hoarding Books blog and finding all the links. If you’ve got your own blog, why not join in and add your link over there. 🙂
I read it last month. I LOVED it!
Sounds like a wonderful story!
Bolivia? I don’t think I’ve ever read a novel set there. How intriguing!
I’m sharing the first line from Justice by Emily Conrad on my blog today. It was an unexpected read – the cover gave me the impression it was a historical romance, but it was most definitely a contemporary.
Happy Friday!😊
My first lines come from a book I will be reading shortly, Unleashed by Donna Kauffman.
Emma Lafferty’s life had gone to the dogs. Literally. And to the cats. And the parakeets, goldfish, hamsters, even the occasional potbelly pig. What it and her fledgling pet-sitting service hadn’t gone to was her bank account. Not enough, anyway.
Have a great weekend and happy reading!😊📚💖
I’m intrigued by the Bolivia setting, too!
Happy Friday! I shared a different one over on my blog, but I’m also reading Silence the Girls by Pat Barker that takes place in ancient Troy.
“Great Achilles. Brilliant Achilles, shining Achilles . . . How the epithets pile up.”
Happy reading!
I keep hearing great things about this book!
I’m sharing the first line of “A Worthy Rebel” on my blog today. I’ll share the first line of my current read, Sarah Loudin Thomas’s “A Shot at Love,” here: “Fleeta hunkered low, careful not to rattle the crisp fallen leaves all around her.”
Happy Friday!
Over on my blog, I’m sharing the first line from Lynnette Bonner’s High Desert Haven. Here, I’ll share one of my favorite lines from Crossed Out by Christina Coryell (her contribution to the Once Upon A Laugh novella collection):
Kids at yard sales were nearly impossible to corral. Grandmas watching kids at yard sales were like wild mustangs, throwing caution and endless quarters to the wind.
It does sound interesting. I’m not posting a First Line Friday this week because I simply don’t have time. I just became a great-aunt yesterday and am entertaining family from out of time. Some things are simply more important than reading. This is one of them. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Congratulations! Have a wonderful weekend!
I’m featuring lines from Danielle Norman’s upcoming release Roadster on my blog.
Here, I’m sharing lines from Keira Montclair’s Falling for the Chieftan. It’s her new historical time travel romance.
“Allison Sutton’s feet hit water as she plunged into the murky liquid at the base of the cascading falls.”
Happy Reading!
Happy Friday! I”m featuring Starting From Scratch by Kate Lloyd on my blog, so here is a line from page 11:
“A few minutes later I sat on the suitcase’s lid while Marta fastened the metal latches with gusto.”
Happy Saturday!
Yesterday on my blog, I shared the first lines from Cara Putman’s novel Delayed Justice. Here I will share the first line from the novel I’m currently reading, An Unpresentable Glory by Eleanor Gustafson.
“On her return from church, Kileenda Jensen discovered a problem, and it had nothing to do with her name.”
Hope you have an awesome weekend!!! 😀🧡📚
I know I’m late for Friday, so happy Labor Day weekend! My first line is from Under Prairie Skies by Cynthia Roemer.
“The sound of a spry whistle froze Charlotte Stanton in her tracks. She tightened her hold on her bucket of creek water, eyes narrowing.”
