I love Jesus, my husband, and my daughter. I love reading and reviewing Christian and Clean fiction. And, I am a high school English teacher trying to get kids to fall in love with reading every day!

  2. Happy Friday!

    What a beautiful first line! And I love that cover.

    On my blog today, I’m sharing the first line from Set the Stars Alight by Amanda Dykes:

    London, England
    May 1987:

    “The smell of cinders permanently etched the abandoned Bessette Match Factory into the minds of all who passed.”

    Hope you have a lovely weekend 🙂

  4. Happy Friday! I’m reading from an old book, and the kindle edition is free on Amazon. I have probably read it 10 times! My first line is from “Uncle Max” by Rosa Nouchette Carey:

    “It appears to me, looking back over a past experience, that certain days in one’s life stand out prominently as landmarks, when we arrive at some finger-post pointing out the road that we should follow.”

  5. I really must start reading Mimi

    My first line is from A Gilded Lady by Elizabeth Camden which I finished this week.
    June 30, 1900
    There was no such thing as a typical day at the White House, but Caroline Delacroix’s morning took a particularly difficult turn the moment she walked into her crowded office,

    Happy Reading!

  8. I think that looks like a good book! I’m currently reading A Bee in Her Bonnet by Jennifer Beckstrand and the first line is “Poppy Christner was screaming her lungs out.”
