Happy Friday, book lovers, and welcome to First Line Friday hosted by Hoarding Books. My first line choice this week is Catherine West’s upcoming release As the light Fades. It releases on 10 September and is a great read, so make sure you order your copy!
About the Book
After her carefully constructed life crumbles, Liz Carlisle finds herself back on Nantucket, picking up the pieces. With the family estate under renovations, the solitude she craves seems out of reach.
Matthew Stone intends to steer clear of his new tenant. She’s carrying a load of baggage, but as long as she pays the rent, he’ll let her be. He’s got enough to deal with caring for his wayward niece, Mia.
Liz doesn’t have time for teenagers and her track record with men is abysmal, but an unlikely friendship forms between the three.
When her former boyfriend is charged with assault, Liz is called to testify against him. But he knows the darkest secrets of her life—secrets she’d hoped to keep buried forever, and he’s ready to reveal them. Telling the truth is the right thing to do, but it may cost her everything she’s worked so hard for, and all she’s come to love.
First Line
I’d love it if you’d share the first line of whatever you’re currently reading in the comments.

If you’ve got your own blog, why not join in and add your link over there. 🙂
Happy Friday! My first line is from “Ford” by Susan May Warren:
“If Ford didn’t get his head in the game, they were doomed. People were going to die. Probably him.”
Happy Friday! Today I’m sharing from Strands of Truth by Colleen Coble on my blog. I’m currently reading The Gryphon Heist by James R. Hannibal; here are the first couple of lines: “Talia Inger clutched her side, letting her shoulder fall against the alley wall. The pain had been growing for the last half hour, threatening to overtake her as it had in Windsor.”
Have a great weekend! 🙂
Happy Friday! On my blog this week, I am featuring The Sheriff’s Surrender by Susan Page Davis. Since it’s my current read, I’ll share the first line of Chapter 13 here: The women showed up for shooting practice on Monday, counting Gert and Libby. Gert could barely trust her eyes.
Have a wonderful weekend and happy reading.
Ooo, this has my interest peaked! Happy Friday!
My first line is from Diamond in the Rough by Jen Turano:
N.Y. City November 1885
Any smidgen of hope that her entrance into N.Y. high society would be deemed a rousing success died the moment Miss Poppy Garrison’s tiara became firmly attached to the sleeve of her dance partner.
Happy Friday!
Today on my blog I am sharing the first line from Sweet Melody by Heidi McCahan: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2019/09/05/first-line-friday-100/. I am just starting chapter seven, so I will share the first couple of lines from there.
“Rhett wiped down the espresso machine one last time then glanced at the large silver clock with chunky black numbers mounted on the white brick wall. His shift had ended a few minutes ago, and the cafe was empty.”
Happy reading! I hope you have an excellent weekend. 🙂💚📚
The Book I shared on my blog today is The Whistle Walk by Stephenia H McGee but it’s also my current read so I’ll share the first line from chapter 9 here: “Charles’s cousin slapped him on the shoulder, sending his mug of ale sloshing over the rim and into his dinner.” Happy Reading! 🙂
I shared West’s book on my blog as well. Here’s the first line from the last book to arrive at my house, The Gryphon Heist by James R. Hannibal. “Talia Inger clutched her side, letting her shoulder fall against the alley wall.”
Enjoy the weekend!
