It’s time for a new edition of First Line Fridays hosted by the Hoarding Books blog!
I just can’t resist talking about this book. Sons of Blackbird Mountain by Joanne Bischof releases in a few weeks, but I have been anticipating and subsequently reveling in its story-amazingness for a while now! Beneath this gorgeous cover is a poignant story of brothers, the bond of family, and the bittersweet and joyous facets of love.
Look for my review soon!
First Line:
Blackbird Mountain, Virginia
August 27, 1890
Aven peered down at the letter again, noted the address written in Aunt Dorothe’s hand, then looked back to the wooden sign that was staked into the ground.
Your turn! Find the book closest to you and share your first line in the comments! Then, head over to Hoarding Books for the linky and visit other FLF posts!
The Green Mockingbird 
I can’t wait to read this one!
I’m sharing the first line from “Where the Fire Falls” by Karen Barnett on my blog today, but right now I’m going to share the first line from another read I recently enjoyed: The Captured Bride, by Michelle Griep.
“It ain’t right. YOU ain’t right.”
Don’t take it personally. 😉
I just finished Where the Fire Falls yesterday! I really loved it! And, I’ve heard wonderful things about Michelle’s.
I love Joanne Bischof!
My #FLF is from Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier.
Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again.
Yay for loving Joanne! She’s an awesome person.
That’s another classic I need to know more about!
I’m looking forward to reading this one!! 🙂
Over on my blog I’m featuring Among The Poppies by J’Nell Ciesielski. Here I’ll share the first line from Chapter 22.
“The wrench spun like a dial, blurring faster and faster until it flew off the side of the engine and cartwheeled in the dirt.”
It’s SO good, Trisha! 🙂 Happy Friday!
Happy Friday!
My FLF comes from a book I will be reading next, Falling for the Cowgirl by Tina Radcliffe.
“I like Zeb Turner for the assistant ranch foreman position.” Travis Maxwell looked across the conference table at his sisters, Lucy and Emma, hoping for confirmation, and then shoved another cinnamon roll into his mouth.
Have a great weekend and happy reading!😊
Ha, I like that first line!!! It makes me want a cinnamon roll, too. Happy weekend!
I want to read this!! I’m sharing from the prologue of King’s Folly by Jill Williamson on my blog today, so here I’ll share from the first chapter:
“A procession of fifty men made their way through the cool desert night from the royal retreat in Canden toward The Gray. Fifty-one men, technically, though the king did not count the wailing convict riding in the cage since the man would soon be dead.”
Happy Friday!
Oooh, that’s an intriguing start! Happy reading!
I can’t wait to read this book! It’s on my Kindle. 🙂 Happy Friday!
HEATHER! Read it now! It’s sooooo great. Happy weekend!
Such a beautiful cover!
Today’s first lines come from Kat Mizera’s new release, Defending Dani. This was a super sweet and emotional hockey romance.
“Sergei Petrov got out of the taxi and hurriedly paid the drive as he grabbed his bag. He hadn’t seen his son in more than two months and couldn’t wait to look into his sweet little face.”
I’m featuring lines from Lexi Blake’s new release “Order of Protection” on my blog. Check out to see the start of her newest series!
I assure you, the story inside is equally as beautiful as the cover! 🙂 Happy reading!
I haven’t read this one. Enjoy your reading. On my blog I am featuring Colleen Helme’s Shelby Nichols adventure, a paranormal. For the lack of carrots Shelby ‘s life changed.
Happy reading! I wonder what’s happening with the carrots? 🙂
📚 😄😀😉💕📚
The carrots changed Shelby life and not mention again 📚💕😉📚
Can’t wait to read this one!!!
Happy Friday!
Today on my blog, I’m sharing the first paragraph to This Wilderness Journey by Misty Beller. Here I will share the first two lines from the book I’m currently reading, I Am My Beloved by Caryl McAdoo. It’s a retelling of Song of Solomon.
“Abishag held the cups level and took small ladylike steps, careful not to slosh. She grinned then placed the wine — except water really, her mother wouldn’t allow her real wine — on the stone table.”
Hope you have an excellent weekend with lots of quality reading time! 😁
Happy weekend reading to you, too! Thanks for visiting 🙂
I have this one on my TBR pile!
The Book I’m sharing on my blog is Lone Witness by Rachel Dylan but I’m currently listening to The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood and I’ll share the first line from that here: “We slept in what had once been the gymnasium.” Happy reading this weekend! 🙂
All I can say is “Wow!” The cover and line are amazing! I hope you can stop by:

I’m sharing about The Weaver’s Daughter by Sarah E. Ladd on my blog today. I’m currently reading Just Look Up by Courtney Walsh so I’ll share the first line from that here:
“He shouldn’t be here.”
Happy weekend! 😀
