We’ve been chatting about Christmas reads each Friday for several weeks now but my dear friend Carrie is celebrating Christmas books in a big way with her “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas (Reads)!” blog series! If you’re serious about adding lots of great Christmas stories to your tbr, be sure to drop in and enter some of those giveaways! I’m holding out for a paperback of Royally Yours here (balancing that book budget, you know how it is!) but this title is also available through the Kindle Unlimited program.

Today on my blog I’m sharing the first line from Diamond in the Rough by Jen Turano:https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2019/11/14/first-line-friday-110/. It’s SO good. I’m currently on chapter 17, so I’ll share the first line from there.
“Can’t thank you enough, Reginald, for insisting on accompanying Poppy and me as we search for that peddler,” Murray said from the far side of the sleigh, staunchly ignoring the frown Poppy, who was squished in between Reginald and Murray, was sending him.
Hope you have a great weekend filled with awesome reading time. ?❤?

On my blog, I’m sharing Riona by Linda Windsor. Here, I will share the first line in Chapter 26 of my current read, A Defense of Honor by Kristi Ann Hunter. “Kit was anxious as she waited for Jess to return from London, jumping every time the wind blew a bit too loudly around the corner of the house or whenever a child closed a door with a bit too much force.” Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Friday! My first line is from “Because of You” by Becky Wade:
“Maddie Winslow met the man of her dreams the same day that her friend Olivia introduced Maddie to her new boyfriend. Which would have been splendid, except that the man of Maddie’s dreams was Olivia’s new boyfriend.”
