First Line Friday #76


First Line Friday is brought to you by Hoarding Books. Playing along is easy: open the book nearest you and share the first line. Then check out the link to see the other first lines offered up this week.

IT'S HERE, IT'S HERE! IT IS FINALLYYYYYYYY HERE!!!!

I kinda like Dan Jones, in case anyone forgot. This gem came out on Tuesday and it was in my hands the same day. Love it. Love it love it love it. So good. So, so good.

"Shortly before Easter in the year 1188 CE, an English archbishop of Canterbury went to Wales on a recruitment drive."

Also, in case anyone forgot this as well, Dan Jones and I are pretty much best friends. If you don't know the story I will gladly tell it. Repeatedly.


Leave a comment and let me know what you think.

Happy Reading,
Sarah

    Today on my blog I shared the first line from The Telegraph Proposal by Becca Whitham and Gina Welborn but I'm currently reading Aiming for Love by Mary Connealy so I'll share the first line from my current chapter (7) here: "Jo turned back to Dave to see him shake his head." Hope you have a wonderful weekend with plenty of quality reading time!

    Today I'm sharing the first line from Son of the Father by Andrew Stone: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2019/10/03/first-line-friday-104/. I'm currently reading Fire Storm by Nancy Mehl so I'll share a line from there.

    "When Jason came over to fix supper that night, Kaely told him about the assignment with Omaha."

    I hope you have a relaxing weekend. 🙂❤📖

  9. "That Marxism is finished would be music to the ears of Marxists everywhere. They could pack in their marching and picketing, return to the bosom of their grieving families and enjoy an evening at home instead of yet another tedious committee meeting."

    Why Marx was Right by Terry Eagleton.
