No spring weather here! 😉 But we do have warmer weather than many of you over there, so I guess I shouldn’t complain too loudly!
The book I’m featuring on my blog today is ‘Shadows of Hope’ by Georgiana Daniels, but I’m going to share the first line of my current read here: The Man He Never Was by James L. Rubart:
“Toren Daniels rolled over in bed and light pierced his closed eyelids, which meant five a.m. had come and gone.”

Happy Friday! Great first line and I’m putting it on my TBR pile!! We have snow coming today so no spring here…..
My FLF comes from a book im starting soon, Honeysuckle Dreams by Denise Hunter……
Playing house was just a little too easy for Hope Daniels. Her special chicken casserole waited in the oven, covered with foil; butter beans were simmering on the stovetop; and the yeasty smell of baked rolls hung in the air.
Have a great weekend!????

Congrats on two years! From the cover of this book, I would guess historical but the first line blew that theory out of the water.

Sounds really good. I can’t add the first line of the book I’m currently reading because I left it in the car and I’m at work but I would like to add the first line of one I recently read. One on my Kindle app on my iphone. Love the War Woman by April Gardner. Don’t let the cover scare you away,it is a wonderful book! First line: “To hold on to life is to grasp the rain, contain a breath in the palm of a hand, or halt the gushing of a punctured blood vessel.

Today on my blog, I am sharing the first line from Rachael Anderson’s newest Regency novel, My Sister’s Intended. It’s an excellent book I highly recommend. Here I will share the first three lines from the novel I’m currently reading, Not Abandoned by MacKenzie Morganthal.
“It was a prison like none other. With boarded windows and a tall fence, I’d almost forgotten what it looked like outside. The bars that caged me in were strong, but not as strong as the bars I’d put up around my heart.”

Spring-like weather, what’s that? Still snows everyday where I am. Not enough to accumulate, just enough to irritate us. I hope we see spring before summer gets here, ha!
I love the cover of this book – looks like such a serene setting. One I’m putting on my radar.
Happy Friday!

I’m sharing the first line from Winning Miss Winthrop by Carolyn Miller on my blog today—a wonderful Christian Regency romance.
But I’m going to share the first line from the book I’m currently reading – an advance copy of Falling for You by Becky Wade. It doesn’t release until 1 May, but I loved True to You and I have no self-control when it comes to Becky Wade, so here are the opening lines:
“I discovered a secret.”
Corbin Stewart looked sharply at twelve-year-old Charlotte Dixon. “What kind of a secret?”

Here in the DEEP South, Florida, we’ve already been through spring, the pollen season, and all that. We’re creeping into summer, today it was near 80 degrees. The robins have flown through Florida and are heading up North to “youse guys”. All of my flowers are blooming, and the butterflies, bees, gnats, and dragonflies are enjoying our weather. Lots of sunshine today, too!
