It’s Friday, which means I’m sharing with you the first line from a book near me and I’m hoping you’ll share the first line of the book nearest you!
Today’s book has been sitting impatiently on my TBR (to-be-read) list for months and I’m expecting to get to it in the next few weeks! It’s Under A Blackberry Moon by Serena B. Miller, author of one of the few books I have read more than once, The Measure of Katie Calloway.
Don’t you just love that cover? Here’s the first line:
Bay City, Michigan
May 15, 1868“Whose squaw are you, girl?”
I am so excited to be reading this soon!
Now it’s your turn! Grab the book nearest to you and leave a comment with the first line!
Then head on over and share your first line with these friends:

Since I have so many wonderful first lines to choose from at the moment, I’m going to share a different one here than on my blog. It’s the first line from Varina Denman’s ‘Looking Glass Lies’:
“I woke up in the middle of the night in our cavernous walk-in closet. Again.”
Me too! Whoa. Sounds like someone has been sleep walking. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
This is a book I want to read…. I hope soon!
The line I’m going to share with you here is different than the one featured on my blog post. This book is one that my 9 year old son is currently reading for the second time.
“This is a true story. Well some of it. Most of it.”
Harlow & Sage (and Indiana) A true story about best friends by: Brittni Vega
Today I’m sharing the first line from Cynthia Roemer’s debut book that came out today.
Under This Same Sky
Illinois ~ May 8, 1854
Nothing could have prepared her for this.
Nothing.
Hmmm. That sounds like a good start to a compelling story. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
I love the title! Happy Friday! 🙂
It is a different title, isn’t it? Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
Happy Friday (is it really?)!! My first line is from a nonfiction book that is being released on May 2nd, Women Who Move Mountains by Sue Detweiler: ” ‘Get my baby out!’ I screamed with a raspy voice.”
And one of my favorite quotes: “Every day we have the opportunity to agree with God & allow His perspective to flood us with His hope. It’s like having a pressure washer in your mind.”
Yes! It’s really Friday! 😉 That is a great quote! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
I love Native American inspired books! Great choice!
I’m really looking forward to reading it. Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
PROLOGUE
They were coming. – Orphan’s Song by Gillian Bronte Adams
HAPPY FRIDAY and HAPPY READING!
It is always a wonderful feeling when you finally get to a book you have been looking forward to for ages.
Yes! Thanks for stopping by!
“I am a lawyer, and I’m in prison. It’s a long story.” John Grisham, The Racketeer. I like your first line Friday. I actually went back to look at the sentence in my own book and think…yikes. I shoulda done better.
First lines can be tough.
