It’s First Line Friday! That means it’s time to pick up the nearest book and quote the first line. Today I’m sharing from Beyond the Stars, Past the Moons by Jebraun Clifford, one of the stories in the Encircled anthology:
What’s the book nearest you, and what’s the first line?

Happy Friday!
Love the cover art. The opening line grabs my attention and makes me want to keep reading. I’ll have to keep this book in mind.
Today on my blog, I am sharing the opening line from Susan Anne Mason’s A Worthy Heart. I’m also reading The Daughter of Highland Hall by Carrie Turansky. The first line is:
“If she lived to be one hundred and five, Katherine Evangeline Ramsey would never understand why every debutante must begin the London social season by curtsying to the king and queen.”
Hope you have a great weekend. 🙂
Now that’s an intriguing first line! Weddings, Willows, and Revised Expectations by V. Joy Palmer is on top of my “read this next” stack. I’m sharing from Chapter 1 on my blog, so here is the first line from the prologue:
“A great philosopher looks at his various struggles as fodder for his innovative thinking, but, since I am not a great philosopher, I look at my struggles as something akin to stepping on a bee the size of a Komodo dragon.”
Happy Friday and have a good weekend!
That first line definitely grabs the reader’s attention!
Today I’m sharing the first lines from Glory Road by Lauren K. Denton:
“I’d been on the porch steps shelling purple hull peas for less than an hour and my thumbnails had already turned purple.”

Oh my goodness–this sounds like an interesting mix of genres! Happy reading Iola!
I’m late this weekend because I just got back from being out of town. I will share a book that was waiting for me in the mailbox — Living Lies by Natalie Walters. “Just let go.”
Have a great week!
