"My name is Carrie Goldberg and I'm a victims' rights lawyer. Some people all me a 'passionate advocate' or a 'social justice warrior.' I'd rather be called a ruthless motherfucker. I operate my firm, C.A. Goldberg, PLLC, with one fundamental rule: if one of my clients has been harmed, somebody must pay. It's as simple as that. "
Damn right.

ReplyDeleteI absolutely DEVOURED this book in short order. Definitely recommending it!!
DeleteMy first lines are from Hope’s Highest Mountain by Misty Beller:
ReplyDeleteMy Darling Rachel,
You were everything to me. You still are. Don’t ever forget that.
Sounds like this line could be going somewhere not so good!
DeleteHappy Friday! My first line is from Wyatt: The Montana Marshalls" by Susan May Warren:
ReplyDelete"Usually Wyatt, goalie for the Minnesota Blue Ox NHL team, could shrug off his mistakes."
Aw, the team name makes me giggle; Babe the Blue Ox! (We love our Paul Bunyan and Babe stories here)
DeleteHi Sarah, That book title says it all! Happy Saturday! I’m sharing on my blog the first line from Grace in the Shadows by Christine Dillon.
ReplyDeleteIt was love at first sight.
The book is fantastic. I devoured it in a couple hours.
DeleteA first paragraph from me this week [grin]:
ReplyDelete"For our drive into northern Iraq, Dr Azar Mirkhan changed from his Western clothes into the traditional dress of a Kurdish Peshmerga warrior: a tight fitting, short woolen jacket over his shirt, baggy pantaloons, and a wide cummerbund. He also thought to bring along certain accessories. These included a combat knife that tucked neatly into the waist of his cummerbund, a loaded .45 automatic and sniper binoculars. Should matters turn particularly ticklish, his M4 assault rifle lay within easy reach on the backseat, with extra magazines in the footwell. The doctor shrugged. 'It's a bad neighborhood'"
Fractured Lands - How the Arab World Came Apart by Scott Anderson
Love it! we really are two peas in a pod sometimes!
DeleteFinished it last night. Excellent book, so I apologise in advance for probably adding it to your TBR list.
DeleteI was pretty much banking on adding it, haha.
DeleteHappy Saturday!
ReplyDeleteYesterday on my blog I shared the first line from The Painted Castle by Kristy Cambron: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2019/10/17/first-line-friday-106/. I'm currently reading Always Look Twice by Elizabeth Goddard, so I'll share a line from that book.
"For some reason he would never understand, Heath always ended up assisting someone in the direst of circumstances."
Hope you're having a good weekend! 🙂❤📖
Hope your week is off to a good start, thanks for coming by Nicole <3
