Happy Friday!
This week on my blog I shared the first line from Backlash by Rachel Dylan but I’m currently reading Under the Tulip Tree by Michelle Shocklee so I’ll share the first line from my current chapter (22) here: “Jael arrived home. She had news.” Hope you have a good weekend with some quality reading time! 🙂

Happy Friday! My first line is from “Once Upon an Irish Summer” by Wendy Wilson Spooner:
“I watched her long red hair blow wildly about her frame as I shouted with all my strength, ‘Mary Ann! Step back!’ But she couldn’t hear my voice.”

Happy Friday! I loved On Wings of Devotion! Today, I’m sharing the first line from Rules Are Made to be Broken by Mylissa Demeyere. “I walked through the double doors and into the lobby, clutching the strap of my backpack on my shoulder as if my life depended on it.”
