Welcome to First Line Friday! Today we’re looking at The Haunting of Bonaventure Circus by Jaime Jo Wright.

Bluff River, Wisconsin
August 1928Life was not unlike the wisp of fog that curled around the base of a grave marker, softly caressing the marble before dissolving into the violet shadows of the night.

What are you reading?
Actually, that will be my next book after Portrait of Loyalty by Roseanna White. I’m a bit behind because we moved and books are slow getting to me.
But I expect great things from Pepper!
I understand! I loved A Portrait of Loyalty and hope you’ll enjoy them both!
Loved , loved, loved Bonaventure Circus!
My first line is from Chapter 6 of THE RED RIBBON by Pepper Basham:
“What a horrible way to end a mighty fine kiss”
Paula, me too! Great first chapter line! I’ve seen The Red Ribbon around. How is it?
Today on my blog I’m sharing the first line from The Farm Stand by Amy Clipston: “Salina Petersheim huffed as she pulled two wagons piled high with boxes of fresh fruit and vegetables across the parking lot at the Bird-in-Hand marketplace.” I hope you have a great weekend! 🙂
Ellie, Sounds like a good book! I hope you enjoy it!

I’m currently reading A Haven for Her Heart by Susan Anne Mason. It’s an excellent story! I’m just beginning chapter 21, so I’ll share from there.
“I’m taking Sofia out for a while,” Darius said to his mother as they finished up the dishes.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend! 🙂❤📚
