It’s time for a new edition of First Line Fridays hosted by the Hoarding Books blog!
You all know I love any combination of story and food, especially when I can eat while reading :). This upcoming foodie fiction release from author Carla Laureano made its way to me this week, so I thought it was time to hint at the story within for First Line Friday! The Saturday Night Supper Club releases February 6th from Tyndale.
First Line:
Three hours into Saturday night dinner service and she was already running on fumes.
Your turn! Find the book closest to you and share your first line in the comments! The, head over to Hoarding Books for the linky and visit other FLF posts!
The Green Mockingbird 
Loved this book! Well, it was by Carla Laureano, so that’s no surprise.
I’m about to start reading The Boy in the Hoodie, a young adult novel by debut Australian author Catriona McKeown. Here’s the first line:
Before I met him, there wasn’t much I knew about the boy in the hoodie. He seemed to live above the rules.
I’m so glad to know you loved it!!! I have no doubt I will, too. Happy weekend!
Can’ wait to get to this one. I’ve heard lots of good things!
I’m featuring the first line from the SECOND chapter of Mesu Andrews’ ‘Isaiah’s Daughter’ on my blog (since the first line of chapter one is on Hoarding Books this week), but right now I’m going to share the first line from ‘Fatal Mistake’ by Susan Sleeman:
“He was coming for her, and he was close.”
Have a great weekend!
Oooh, that sounds like the setup of an action scene! Happy weekend to you, too, Katie!
Over on my blog I’m sharing the first line from Heather Day Gilbert’s latest “Guilt by Association” It is the 3rd book in her Murder in the Mountains series. I’ll share here the first line from chapter 4.
“Without a doubt, the number five trailer is the prettiest place in Scots’ Hollow.”
Have a wonderful weekend!
I really need to read that series! Thanks for coming by, Trisha!
I can’t wait to read this! My copy just arrived in the mail the other day as well. 🙂
I’m sharing about The Melody of the Soul by Liz Tolsma on my blog today, but I’ll share a first line from a book on my soon-to-read list here.
Your first thought upon picking up this book is probably: How can a person born without any limbs consider himself to to be the hands and feet of Jesus on this Earth?
-Be the Hands and Feet: Living Out God’s Love for All His Children by Nick Vujicic
Happy weekend!
I’m going to visit your post next!!!
And wow, that’s a great, to-the-point first line!
Yay!
And I know right? He’s pretty inspiring.
Loved this one! I’ve been telling everyone to go get it.
The snow in middle Tennessee melted enough that my mailman finally showed up with a few packages in hand (a few of the books I’ve been waiting on). I pulled the first line to share from one of those:
Her head throbbed and grogginess gripped her.
–Thread of Revenge by Elizabeth Goddard
Yay for bookmail! (and hopefully a safe snowy time!) I’m super excited to read it soon.
Happy weekend!
Sounds interesting. The book I’m sharing on my blog this week is Runaway Bride by Mary Connealy. I will share here the first line from a children’s book I just finished reading by A. Lynn Basset called The Boy and The Clock Book. “Tick-tock, tick-tock. Only three minutes stood between Charlie Higgins and the best summer ever!” Have a great weekend!
I love Mary Connealy’s books! And that’s a descriptive first line, too! Happy weekend!
I’m looking forward to reading this book. My first line comes from my current read. “The day was born in darkness.” — Coldwater by Samuel Parker
I like that first line! Happy reading, Becky!
I can’t wait to read this one! Happy Friday! My first line is from Callum’s Compass by Sara L. Foust:
“A persistent knock at the front door dragged Kat Williams awake.”
That’s an intriguing first line! Happy weekend!
yaaaaaaaay for Carla’s new book!
My current first line is from The House on Foster Hill by Jaime Jo Wright –
“Death had a way of creeping up on a soul, and Ivy Thorpe was determined that when it visited her, she would not be surprised.”
I *still* have Jaime’s book on my TBR! I must read it soon! And yes. I completely agree with you about Carla’s ;).
yes you must! 😉
I keep hearing wonderful things about this one! I love foodie books and movies and just food in general. 😀
Same here, Kara!!!!!!! 🙂 Happy weekend!
I recently won an ARC copy. I’m looking forward to reading it soon.
PROLOGUE
Two Years Earlier
Renee huddled in the garden shed in her pajamas and tried to hear him over the pounding of her heart in her ears. – Beneath Copper Falls by Colleen Coble
Happy Friday and happy reading!
Oh yay! Enjoy it when you do!
And that’s an attention-getting first line! Colleen knows how to keep a reader in suspense 🙂 .
I’ve read a lot of good things about this book. I will definitely have to check it out.
Happy Friday!
Over on my blog, I am featuring Brett Armstrong’s novel Destitutio Quod Remissio. It’s an interesting read so far. Here I will post the first lines from chapter four of this book.
“The streets were filled beyond the usual that day, or perhaps it only appeared so to Marcus. The market district was expansive enough to accommodate thousands. Over it looked the tall stone buildings surrounding the huge open Forum that was the city’s center for centuries. All of the grand structures were washed white by the noon’s radiance and loomed large over the transactions of Rome’s citizens.”
Oooh, that is an immersive description! Thank you for sharing!
The food on The cover looks delicious. I am featuring one of my must read series, Mattie Winston. The link is

‘I cut off a man’s nose once.’ The first line from Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag.
The ending of the chapter is so much better due to that first line.
