Happy Friday, book lovers, and welcome to First Line Friday hosted by Hoarding Books. If you’re looking for a good read for the young adult in your life (or even just the young adult in you 😉 ), I think you should check out my first line pick for this week, Mind of Mine by C.F.E. Black. I’ll be reviewing it next week, so I’m just about to begin reading it, but as soon as I read the description, I knew it was something I wanted to read!
About the Book
Raised to put science over self, V must link her brain with fifteen other people, making her one of the world’s smartest humans. With this privilege comes a life dedicated to continual research inside a secluded facility, a life devoid of freedom.
But V is losing her identity and unable to predict which face will peer back at her from the nearest mirror. Escaping this life will mean freedom to think for herself—and abandoning everything and everyone she’s known and loved.
When your thoughts and speech are no longer private, freedom comes at a price. But for V the price may be her life.

I shared from Mending Fences by Suzanne Woods Fisher on my blog. Have a wonderful weekend!
This sounds like an interesting read. What you have shared definitely intrigues me.
This sounds so interesting! Happy Friday!

Sounds like an interesting book.
Happy Friday!
Today on my blog I am sharing the first line from Finding Lady Everly by Joanna Davidson Politano: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2019/08/22/first-line-friday-98/. I am just getting into the book, so I will share from chapter 2.
“I clutched the edge of my seat and rested my forehead on the shuddering train window.”
Hope you have a great weekend. Happy reading! 🙂💚📚
Interesting premise. I’m not familiar with this author, so I’m curious: Is this a clean read (I’m guessing yes since you shared it) and/or written from a Christian perspective? Maybe you’ll address this in your review? I’ll be looking forward to it! Happy Friday!
Yes to clean read and written from a Christian perspective 🙂
My first line is from Finding Lady Enderly:
I do not wish for all my dreams to come true. After all, nightmares are one type of dream. -Diary of a Substitute Countess
Spitalfields, London’s East End, 1871
For one blessed moment, I was beautiful.
Wow! Sounds like an intense read. On my blog, I’m featuring The Trail Boss’s Bride by Erica Vetsch. Since it’s my current read, I’ll share the first line from Chapter 9. “Kitty had never seen so much rain.” I hope you will have a wonderful weekend.
Wow looks intense!
Today on my blog I shared the first line from King’s Shadow by Angela Hunt but it’s also my current read so I’ll share the first line from chapter 23 here: “Anyone who studied Herod in the days following Aristobulus’s death would not doubt his deep and sincere grief.” Happy reading!
Sounds interesting! Today I’m sharing the first lines from You Belong With Me by Tari Faris: “Was she really the only one left who cared about this town?”

Happy Friday!
On my blog, I shared the first couple of lines of a book I recently finished – The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang. Here, though, I’ll be sharing the first lines of one of the books I’m currently reading – Wild Savage Stars by Kristina Perez.
“The waves mocked her.
Discordant laughter swelled in Branwen’s mind and twisted her heart. She couldn’t remain on the ship one moment longer. Her skin itched.”
Wild Savage Stars is the sequel to Kristina Perez’s Sweet Black Waves, which is a Tristan & Eseult retelling. I’m enjoying it so far and I hope you liked the first few lines I shared.
Hope you have a great weekend!
I’m sharing on my blog the first line from Grace in Deep Waters by Christine Dillon.
The radio dominated the room.
