The Lady and the Lionheart: First Line Friday #14

Beth Erin

It’s officially Fall around here, y’all! Cooler temperatures and winds blowing from the north have me craving a hot mug of apple cider and longing for a thick cozy blanket to go with my beautiful stack of books. A dear friend has loaned me this week’s title (The Lady and the Lionheart by Joanne Bischof), even before reading it herself!!! That is a true friend, readers. I’ve read many five-star reviews for this book and I’m absolutely thrilled to get my first taste of this author’s work!

The Lady and the LionHeart by Joanne Bischof

Roanoke, Virgina
Spring, 1890

With the hiss of smoothing irons and the starchy scent of soap trailing her, Ella toted a bundle of hospital linens up the steps.

      Your first line is interesting and the title makes me just a little bit uncomfortable 😉

  6. It takes a real man to be a Missouri River pilot, and that’s why a good one draws down as high as a thousand dollars a month. Stephanie Grace Whitson’s “A Captain For Laura Rose”
    I haven’t read it yet, I had to reboot my kindle this was the first book past my “collections” pages.

    I share books with my sister and mom. They understand my obsession with keeping my books looking new.

  9. I loved Lady & the Lionheart!! “Nothing in Abigail MacLeod’s life prepared her for the shock of watching Benjamin Rosen die in her arms.” Lynn Austin. This is from my local Christain book club for the month of September. Sadly I didn’t have time to finish 😦
    I hope to catch up on my reading after Blown Together releases October 15.
