It’s time for a new edition of First Line Fridays hosted by the Hoarding Books blog!
Today I’m sharing the first line of a highly anticipated novel: Set the Stars Alight by Amanda Dykes. This story has been much-hyped in my social media circles (ahem, mostly by Rachel McMillan). Knowing it’s an AMANDA DYKES novel is reason enough for me to read it, but that gorgeous cover and premise help, too! I’m excited to read this soon — it releases to the world on June 30!
FIRST LINE:
Prologue
London, England May 1987
The smell of cinders permanently etched the abandoned Bessette Match Factory into the minds of all who passed.
Your turn! What’s your first line?
The Green Mockingbird 
Such a sensory filled opening line! Have a great weekend!!
Happy Friday!
I’m sharing Set the Stars Alight for this week too, and I agree that the cover is beautiful!
Hope you have a lovely weekend 🙂
Happy Friday!
Today on my blog, I’m sharing the first line from Fair as a Star by Mimi Matthews: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2020/06/19/first-line-friday-140/. I’m currently reading The Killing Tide by Dani Pettrey so I will share a line from there:
“Rissi followed Noah into the station, glad to be back. It’d already been a long day.”
Hope you have a great weekend! 🙂❤📚
Love that cover! And the fist line definitely sounds like there is something of a mystery coming… Happy Reading!
Can’t wait to read Amanda’s book!
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!
Happy Friday! I have seen that book a lot lately! Seems very applicable to our current time. Today, I’m sharing the first line from The Heart of a Hero by Susan May Warren: “In the daylight, Jake Silver wasn’t the devil.”

Happy Friday!!
Over on my blog I shared one of the lines from Key to Everything by Valerie Frasier Luesse
“Sometime during the night, it had begun to rain, a steady downpour pelting the tin roof of Aunt Gert’s bungalow and lightly misting Peyton’s face.”
