It’s FRIDAY which means I get to share a great line once a week with your from a book I am reading. I found this to be an exciting and entertaining way to find new authors, books and bloggers. So I am opening up the book I have been reading this week, and going to the first chapter and finding the first line…

    Welcome to the group Bree! I love mysteries–I will have to check this book out.

    My first line for the week comes from Tea and Sympathy by Carol Cox:

    “Kate Hanlon settled back into the pillows propped against the headboard of her bed and stared down at her lap. The tray resting on her knees contained a steaming mug of tea and a plate holding one slice of lightly buttered toast.”

    Happy reading and happy Friday!

    Welcome to the crazy! 🙂

    My first line at the moment comes from Erica Vetsch’s My Heart Belongs in Fort Bliss Texas – “Only the army would think a place like this worth defending.”

    Welcome to the First Line Family! ???? I think I might need to get some website tips from you. Your site looks great!

    My first line this week is from Regina Jennings’ “For The Record”:

    Only a limited patch of Earth could claim the privilege of belonging to Texas. Not that he despised the rest of the world for its misfortune, but there was a difference.

    Have a good week 🙂

    Hi Bree!
    I started a new book today. Very sad so far. I had to put it down for a bit.
    First Line from “Stars in the Grass” by Ann Marie Stewart
    Prologue- I spent the better part of my childhood sitting on a pew in the balcony of Bethel Springs First Presbyterian Church, listening to my dad’s long vowels as he preached on predestination.

      It sounds like a great book, though a bit heavy, thanks for sharing!

    Such an intriguing first line. Makes me wonder what the business is and why the person doesn’t like/use the word “hoarder.”

    The first line I’m sharing today is from Roseanna M. White’s “The Lost Heiress”: Tempation sat before her, compelling as the sea.

    If you like mysteries, this book might be your cup of tea.
