This week, I discovered new (to me) author, Christene Houston, and thoroughly enjoyed the first two books in her series Snowflake Falls Romance, Cookie Girl Christmas and When Fireflies Sing. Great reads with engaging characters and some pretty funny scenes. Here's the first line from Cookie Girl Christmas:

"Call out the Coast Guard, I think we're out of buttercream."

    I just started Cara Putnam's Beyond Justice. "If he didn't find that flash drive now, he would have to disappear."

    My first line is from Anne Love’s “The Gardener’s Daughter” in the Of Rags and Riches romance collection.
    Thump, Thump. She could plant herself in a library world such as this one forever.

    LOL, that's a funny first line!

    My first line:
    Prologue
    January 25, 1980, midnight
    The first execution I attended wasn’t by lethal injection but by Old Sparky. ~A Twist of the Knife by Becky Masterman

    Happy Reading!

    My Kindle is closest to me right now and the first book on it is Counted with the Stars by Connilyn Cossette, "My Sandals have not crossed this threshold since I was ten."

    Great first line. Made me chuckle!

    My first line comes from Hold the Light by April McGowan.

    "Unremarkable. Amber glanced out the steaming windowpane at the cityscape below her."

    Well, obviously, running out of buttercream IS an emergency! :-)
    Happy Friday to you! Have a blessed weekend.

    My first line is going to be the first paragraph because It is short! It’s from These Healing Hills by Ann Gabhart. And her writing has captured me again!
    Francine Howard stepped off the bus into another world. She should have been prepared. She’d studied the Frontier Nursing information until she almost knew it by heart. That should have given her a glimpse into this place.

    There are sooo many good quotes to glean from this book and I’m only on page 53!
