Happy Friday, book lovers, and welcome to First Line Friday hosted by Hoarding Books. Friends, I have just picked up Amanda Dykes’ upcoming release Set the Stars Alight, and I am already hooked. Her writing is GORGEOUS, and she spins her stories with all the delicacy and finesse of a master web-weaver. If you haven’t read her yet, make sure you get your hands on one of her books!
About the Book
Two hundred years earlier, the seeds of love are sown between a boy and a girl who spend their days playing in a secret sea cave, while the privileged young son of the estate looks on, wishing to join. As the children grow and war leads to unthinkable heartbreak, a story of love, betrayal, sacrifice, and redemption unfolds, held secret by the passage of time.
As Lucy and Dash journey to a mysterious old estate on the East Sussex coast, their search leads them to a community of souls and a long-hidden tale that may hold the answers–and the healing–they so desperately seek.

Today on my blog, I’m sharing the first line from Fair as a Star by Mimi Matthews: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2020/06/19/first-line-friday-140/. I’m currently reading The Killing Tide by Dani Pettrey so I will share a line from there:
“Rissi followed Noah into the station, glad to be back. It’d already been a long day.”
Hope you have a great weekend! 🙂❤📚
Happy Friday! I’m reading from an old book, and the kindle edition is free on Amazon. I have probably read it 10 times! My first line is from “Uncle Max” by Rosa Nouchette Carey:
“It appears to me, looking back over a past experience, that certain days in one’s life stand out prominently as landmarks, when we arrive at some finger-post pointing out the road that we should follow.”
Waiting for Amanda’s book to arrive.
My first line is from A Gilded Lady by Elizabeth Camden which I finished this week.

There was no such thing as a typical day at the White House, but Caroline Delacroix’s morning took a particularly difficult turn the moment she walked into her crowded office,
Happy Reading!

Happy Friday!!
Over on my blog I shared one of the lines from Key to Everything by Valerie Frasier Luesse
“Sometime during the night, it had begun to rain, a steady downpour pelting the tin roof of Aunt Gert’s bungalow and lightly misting Peyton’s face.”
