First Line Fridays is a weekly feature hosted by Hoarding Books.
Happy Friday!
Today I’m going to be featuring the first few lines of my current read.
Moonbeams frost the dark water of Dailaniang, and I imagine the great River Dragon passing beneath its skittering ripples. It’s said that he visited our village generations ago and granted out ancestors an enchanted pearl as a sign of his favor. If I hadn’t seen that pearl with my own eyes, glowing like the moon upon its jade pedestal, I would have thought the story false. He certainly hasn’t visited again since. And no one seems to be favoring Dailan lately.
I’m currently halfway through Stronger than a Bronze Dragon and I’m enjoying it. It’s such an adventurous read filled with magic and action. I can’t wait to find out how Anlei and Tai’s quest go as they travel to the legendary Heihuoshan to battle with the demon king Mowang. I definitely recommend you get this one it comes out.
I’m keeping it short today as I want to go back to reading, but I have a few reviews coming up for the blog, the one for this book included. Also, I’m excited to be included in another blog tour organized by the wonderful ladies at the Fantastic Flying Book Club. The tour starts next week on June 11 and I’d love it if you could show my fellow participating bloggers some love and follow the tour. The schedule is below.

I’m so very glad today is Friday!
Over on my blog, I’m sharing the first line from More Than Words Can Say by Karen Witemeyer. Here I’ll share the first line from Chapter 2 of the same book.
“Choosing a husband was much like choosing a good baguette.”

Happy Friday! I know I’m late but today was a busy day. It was the last day of school!!!!
Anyways, today on my blog I am sharing the first paragraph from A Noble Guardian by Michelle Griep. It’s a FANTASTIC novel. You can see my post by following the link: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2019/06/06/first-line-friday-90/. I am just starting Murder at the Flamingo by Rachel McMillan, so I will post the first few lines from there.
“Heartbeat, Hamish. Assess your surroundings. Acknowledge the trigger point. Assure a corner for a quick retreat before the symptoms draw attention.”
Hope you have a great weekend. Happy reading!

Sorry I’m late coming around. My internet went down yesterday and it’s been mostly down since then. They’re sending someone out Monday to figure out what’s going on. On my blog this week I featured The Brides of Big Valley by Wanda, Jean, and Richelle Brunstetter but I am currently reading Tate by Susan May Warren so I’ll share the first line from chapter 4 here: “With one article of clothing, Glo became a new woman.” Hope you have a great weekend with plenty of reading time! 🙂
