Happy Friday!
Natalie Walters' debut released this week! I'm a few chapters in, and so far, so good.
First Line: Just let go.
From Page 56: She was the epitome of a southern debutante. And a debutante never engaged in quarreling, though they made sure to express their displeasure in other ways, verbal or not.
ABOUT THE BOOK
In the little town of Walton, Georgia, everybody knows your name--but no one knows your secret. At least that's what Lane Kent is counting on when she returns to her hometown with her five-year-old son. Dangerously depressed after the death of her husband, Lane is looking for hope. What she finds instead is a dead body.
Lane must work with Walton's newest deputy, Charlie Lynch, to uncover the truth behind the murder. But when that truth hits too close to home, she'll have to decide if saving the life of another is worth the cost of revealing her darkest secret.
Debut novelist Natalie Walters pulls you to the edge of your seat on the first page and keeps you there until the last in this riveting story that will have you believing no one is defined by their past.
Now, feel free to leave a line from a book near you in the comments below.

ReplyDeleteToday on my blog I am sharing the first couple of lines from Becoming Us by Robin Jones Gunn: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2019/05/23/first-line-friday-88/. It’s the first book I’ve ever read by this author. So far I like it. I’m just getting into it, so I will share the first line from chapter 2 here.
“I returned to the great room and saw Jennalyn standing next to the kitchen counter.”
I hope you have a really great weekend. Happy reading! 🤗💜📚
Happy Friday Hallie!

ReplyDeleteThis one sounds interesting. Enjoy your current read!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday! I'm sharing from A Modest Independence by Mimi Matthews today. Here is the first line from Chapter 10:
ReplyDelete"Jenny stood on the deck of the Indus, watching the ancient city of Alexandria come into view."
I have Living Lies sitting on my TBR stack!
ReplyDeleteToday I'm sharing the first line from Finding Beautiful by Rebecca Friedlander: “What would it look like to pack your bags and travel the world in search of true beauty?”

Happy Weekend! My first line is from "The Black Veil" by June Belfie:
ReplyDelete"Rebecca Gingerich rested her hands on the the deep milk-white sill of the kitchen window and peered out from the clapboard farmhouse she'd been born in nearly twenty-three years ago to the day."
I just finished this one and really enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteMy first line this week comes from Flight of the Raven by Morgan L. Busse, but I'm also listening to Great Expectations by Charles Dickens in audio book format at the moment, so I'm going to share the first line from Chapter 51:
What purpose I had in view when I was hot on tracing out and proving Estella's parentage, I cannot say.
Have a great weekend!

I just read this one this week! Hope you enjoy it too!
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm a little late coming around this weekend! The book I shared on my blog this week is Vigilant by Sara Davison but it's also the book I'm currently reading so I'll share the first line from my current chapter (22) here: "Daniel stared at the computer screen like he'd been doing for hours, his mind racing." Hope you have a wonderful weekend with plenty of quality reading time! :)
