First Line Friday: Behind the Scenes
It has been far too long since I’ve participated in First
Line Fridays. But I’m back from my “blogging vacation” and am ready to share
the first line of the fabulous book I’ve been reading this week. Be sure to
head over to Hoarding Books to check out first lines from other bloggers!
This week, I’m reading Behind the Scenes by Jen Turano. Here’s the first line:
Pressing her nose
against the glass of the carriage window, Miss Permilia Griswold felt her
stomach begin to churn as she took note of the throngs of people lining Fifth
Avenue.
Okay, let’s just take a moment to gush about how fabulous
this book is. I give it all the heart eye emojis. It boasts a strong, slightly
quirky heroine, many pretty dresses (1880s dresses for the win!) and a thread
of mystery. I love all the funny situations Permilia gets herself into. She’s
witty and smart, and a little shy, which makes her all the more relatable. I
love the time period this book is set and I love reading books set in New York,
making this book all the more fun for me. This is just a great read!
What’s the first line from your current read? Have you
recently read a book that you drooled over? I’d love to hear about it!

Today on my blog I'm sharing the first line from Roseanna M. White's An Hour Unspent. Here I'll share with you the first line from Kristi Ann Hunter's novella A Legacy of Love from The Christmas Heirloom Collection.

Hope you have an excellent day, and a relaxing weekend filled with great reading!
This is such a fun series! I’m sharing from an upcoming read, The Love Letter by Rachel Hauck, over on my blog today. Here are the first lines from the prologue, set during the American Revolution:
ReplyDelete“He must finish. He must. Stumbling, he fell to the damp earth of the maple swamp with the click-slap of musket fire ringing through the cold dew, his breath billowing.”
Happy Friday!
