Nice descriptive opener. And a bit intriguing - what made the birds start to fly?
ReplyDeleteHe's a fantastic author, I like his work.

So many questions!
DeleteMy first line comes from the first chapter of The Mark if Zgrace by KimberleyWoodhouse:

Spoons clattered against pots. Steam sputtered out from under lids. The scent of fresh-baked bread and brewing coffee filled the air.
Thanks for sharing your line!
DeleteYour book looks cool!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!
I am finishing up The Rose and the Thistle by Laura Frantz, so I will share a line from there.
"Davie is in the tower."

Yes! I pay much more attention now than I used to.
DeleteGreat descriptive opening! I hope you enjoy this one! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you, happy reading!
DeleteThat is an intriguing opening and I need to take a look at this 1066 saga series. It looks like something I might enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThe first book is called What Fates Impose, which was great! The author also wrote a story for a 1066 anthology called 1066 Turned Upside Down. It explores all different possible scenarios for what could have happened. It was SO good! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/30969349-1066-turned-upside-down?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=lHfcky6dgH&rank=1
DeleteThat's a cool cover! I'm currently reading The sisters of Sea View by Julie Klassen. The first line is: "April 1819. Sarah Summers carefully lifted the family heirloom, a warm mantle of nostalgia settling over her." Hope you had a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, happy reading!
