Welcome to another edition of First Line Fridays. This week we are welcoming Bree Herron from Bibliophile Reviews to our ever expanding group. 🤗 Hello Bree!
My first line this week is actually two lines, because they just need to stay together. They’re from Regina Jennings’ latest release, For the Record:
Only a limited patch of Earth could claim the privilege of belonging to Texas. Not that he despised the rest of the world for its misfortune, but there was a difference.
What’s your first line? Share it below and then go and then visit my friends and share with them too!
Sarah ~ All The Book Blog Names Are Taken // Bree ~ Bibliophile Reviews // Rachel ~ Bookworm Mama // Heather ~ Encouraging Words from the Tea Queen // Beth ~ Faithfully Bookish // Andi ~ Radiant Light // Carrie ~ Reading is my Superpower // Robin ~ Robin’s Nest // Sydney ~ Singing Librarian

“Good evening,” said Lucy. But the Faun was so busy picking up its parcels that at first it did not reply. 🙂 This is from Chapter 2 of “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,” by C.S. Lewis. This year I’m reading books I have read in the past and have enjoyed. I don’t know how many times I’ve journeyed to Narnia.

I love the covers of Regina’s books. They look so inviting. My first line is: “Journeys are a curious sort of thing.” From Embracing the Baobab, Missionary Reflections on Christian Community, by Jerry Ireland.

My first line for the week comes from Tea and Sympathy by Carol Cox:
“Kate Hanlon settled back into the pillows propped against the headboard of her bed and stared down at her lap. The tray resting on her knees contained a steaming mug of tea and a plate holding one slice of lightly buttered toast.”
Happy reading and happy Friday!
