Happy Friday, book lovers, and welcome to First Line Friday hosted by Hoarding Books. I am looking forward to some fabulous reads in 2020, and my First Line Friday choice for today is next on my TBR. I’ve already been hearing quite a few people raving about On Wings of Devotion by Roseanna M. White, so I can’t wait to dive in!
About the Book
Phillip Camden would have preferred to die that day with his squadron rather than be recruited to the Admiralty’s codebreaking division. The threats he receives daily are no great surprise and, in his opinion, well deserved. What comes as a shock is the reborn desire to truly live that Arabelle inspires in him.
But when an old acquaintance shows up and seems set on using him in a plot that has the codebreakers of Room 40 in a frenzy, new affections are put to the test.
First Line
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. 🙂
This is def on my TBR. Number of Love was so good! My mom and I listened to it together on audio, and her words when it was finished were, and I quote, “I hope the next one’s about Camden.” 😀
And I don’t have it with me to give a first line, but I’m reading Ronie Kendig’s Brand of Light, and it’s marvelous.
So glad you’re enjoying Brand of Light! And I’m with your mum. I was hoping the next one was about Camden too!
I am reading On Wings of Devotion right now!
My first line is from The Rebel Bride by Shannon McNear:
September 20, 1863 Battle of Chickamauga, Northern Georgia
Not for the first time, Joshua Wheeler wondered if he’d descended into hell.
I’m reading this one soon too!
Today I shared the first line from End Game by Rachel Dylan but I’m currently reading Daughter of Rome by Tessa Afshar so I’ll share the first line from my current chapter (22) here: “Like a loose thread in an unfinished weaving, Priscilla’s well-ordered world unraveled by virtue of one capricious judgment.” I’m absolutely LOVING it so far! Hope you have a wonderful weekend with lots of quality reading time! 🙂
Happy Friday! My first line is from “Because of Him” by Kimberly Rae Jordan:
“Kieran Sutherland only just managed to keep from lifting his arm and elbowing the detective seated beside him in the face.”
Happy Friday! 😊
On my blog I’m sharing the first line from Veiled in Smoke by Jocelyn Green: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2020/01/03/first-line-friday-117/. Currently I’m reading An Uncommon Woman by Laura Frantz. It’s AMAZING!!!
“The field of winter wheat was sun-drenched and silent, the heated August air already blackened by buzzards.”
Hope you have a great weekend filled with awesome reading time. 🙂❤📖
Happy Friday! I loved On Wings of Devotion! Today I’m sharing the first lines from The Bright Unknown by Elizabeth Byler Younts: “I’m not sure whom I should thank–or blame–for the chance to become an old woman.”
