1. That was a great book by Susan!

   My first line is from A Portrait of Loyalty by Roseanna White:
   Chapter 1
   Thursday, 28 March 1918
   Mayfair, London, England
   Lilian Blackwell held her breath and inched along the wall, praying with every footfall that Mama wouldn’t look up.

   1. Paula, I cannot wait to begin reading A Portrait of Loyalty! Just waiting for its arrival in the mail. 😃

2. Happy Friday!
   I’m currently reading On Wings of Devotion by Roseanna M. White. I ❤ it so much. Currently, I’m on chpt. 15 so I’ll share a line from there.
   “For a long moment, Arabelle could only stare. Perhaps it was the fact that she’d only managed about three hours of sleep, but the image before her simply made no sense.”
   Hope you have a wonderful weekend. 🙂❤📚

   1. Bellsmoma, oh I love that story, too! Arabella and Philip are such amazing characters. Enjoy your weekend!

      1. Thank you! You too!

3. Happy Friday! Today, I’m sharing the first line from Rules Are Made to be Broken by Mylissa Demeyere. “I walked through the double doors and into the lobby, clutching the strap of my backpack on my shoulder as if my life depended on it.”

   1. Beauty in the Binding, that title and opening line definitely grab my interest! Hope it’s a great read!

4. Happy Friday! My first line is from “Once Upon an Irish Summer” by Wendy Wilson Spooner:

   “I watched her long red hair blow wildly about her frame as I shouted with all my strength, ‘Mary Ann! Step back!’ But she couldn’t hear my voice.”

   1. Becky, wow! What a first line! Sounds like an intriguing book!

5. Happy Friday!
   This week on my blog I shared the first line from Backlash by Rachel Dylan but I’m currently reading Under the Tulip Tree by Michelle Shocklee so I’ll share the first line from my current chapter (22) here: “Jael arrived home. She had news.” Hope you have a good weekend with some quality reading time! 🙂

   1. Thanks Becca! How is Under the Tulip Tree? It’s on my TBR list.

      1. It sooo good! I finished last night. My review will share next week when I’m on a tour with JustRead 😁

         1. Becca, Cool! I’ll have to read your review! I’m on the JustRead Bookstagram tour for it. 😊
