Hello, reader friends! Today’s featured title is highly recommended by one of my most trusted reader friends! Check out the first line of My Hands Came Away Red by Lisa McKay below, then open the book nearest you and share the first line!
We are officially moved over to our new host site and while it was a bumpy transition, I am already pleased with the improvements! As much as I’d love to get all caught up here on the blog, I’m starting to think that may never happen, lol!
Hopefully, now that all the kinks seem to be worked out and everything is running smoothly, I’ll be able to get back into a rhythm of posing more consistently. That will have to wait until Monday because we’re taking a family weekend in celebration of our sixteenth wedding anniversary!

On my blog, I shared the first line of Alessandro D’Avenia’s “White as Silence, Red as Song,” but here I will share something from my current read, “Strange Grace” by Tessa Graton. I’m currently 25% into the story and I’m enjoying it! This is the first line of the current chapter I’m on.
“Three year ago, when Arthur was nearly fifteen, his best friend, Rhun, stopped the along the narrow deer path they’d been stalking along, and kissed him.”
Hope you’re having a great day! Enjoy the weekend ahead. 😀

A sharp clatter jerked Grace Callahan out of the novel she was reading.
Hopefully the same won’t happen to you! 😉
And congrats on the wedding anniversary!

Today on my blog, I am sharing the first line from Tracy Groot’s novel The Stones of my Accusers. Currently, I am reading Finding Us by Heather Moore. So far, it’s a fun book. One of those books that has me smiling with each page! I am starting chapter 7, so I will leave the first line from there.
“Opening the bookshop on Saturday morning wasn’t as bad as Felicity thought it might be.”
Hope you have an excellent weekend filled with quality reading time!

Happy Friday! After preparing my blog post sharing first line from Shelley Shepard Gray’s Her Fear, I ended up reading the entire book. So here I’ll share the first lines for a novella I plan to read soon, Come Fly with Me by Gina Welborn and Becca Whitham:
