First Line Fridays: The Girl in the Gatehouse
Happy Friday readers and friends! Also, farewell to
March? Posing that as a question because, how can it already be the end of
March!? Time really does fly. Anyway, seeing as its Friday, it’s time for
another edition of First Line Fridays, hosted by Hoarding Books.
My current read is The Girl in the Gatehouse. It’s one of Julie Klassen’s older books that I’ve
just started reading this week. Here’s the first line.
“The end of the
only life I’ve known,” thought Mariah Aubrey, looking back through the carriage
window at the shrinking figures of her mother and sister.
I really like Julie Klassen’s writings. Really, what
self-proclaimed Austenite wouldn’t be a fan of Julie Klassen? And honestly,
even if you haven’t read Jane Austen’s books, there’s still enjoyment to be had
whilst reading a Klassen novel. This makes the fifth novel I’ve read by her and
I’ve enjoyed it thus far. I like the author theme and love that the heroine
lives in a gatehouse.
Not it’s your turn. What’s the first line of your current
read? And who are some authors that you go to feeling certain you’ll enjoy
their books?
Have a great weekend, friends. Happy Easter!

That was the first book I read by Klassen. I loved it. Here's a line form another Regency -- From The Weaver's Daughter by Sarah E. Ladd, "Alarm's menacing sting pricked Kate Dearborn's consciousness and hurried her steps." Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteI loved the book, too! I need to try Ladd's books sometime. Thanks for stopping by! :-)
