Happy Friday!
I may have been purposefully putting off this book…Only because, I LOVE Jody’s books SO.MUCH. That I need to savor them…make them last…I even went back and listened to the first book on audio…I can’t get over how Jody’s books capture my heart, how the characters feel REAL, and how their circumstances speak to me. The way that God is portrayed is so REAL and so TANGIBLE, that often times, I am brought to tears. Jody is without a doubt one of my top 5 favorite authors of all time.
Today’s first line is from…
Together Forever
Jody Hedlund
New York City
June 1858
Marianne Neumann’s fingers were shaking so hard she could barely pry open the first record book.

Hoarding Books 
I’m sharing the first lines of all the short stories from A Thousand Beginnings and Endings on my blog today, but since that’s going to make a long comment I’ll share the first line of the book I’m currently reading instead. This one is from Suzanne Rindell’s “Eagle and Crane”
“They bump along the country road, rolling though golden hills that are punctuated with granite boulders and dotted with clusters of oak trees that appear blackish green from afar.”
Have a happy weekend! 😀

Today on my blog, I’m sharing the first line from As The Tide Comes In by Cindy and Erin Woodsmall. Here I will share the first line from a short story I’m currently reading. It’s called “A Lady of Scandal” by Heather B. Moore. It’s very good.
“Hugh couldn’t help but think of his biggest question about Anthony and Lady Bridget. Why had Anthony offered to marry her?”
Hope you have an excellent weekend filled with good reading time!
