First Line Fridays

Student Council Blog Title

 

“He was going to hit that pick up truck. ” 

This is the first line from Sea Rose Lane by Irene Hannon. It is book two in the Hope Harbor series. The first book I read of Irene Hannon’s was Fatal Judgement in the Guardians of Justice Series. I thought the pace of this Romantic Suspense was terrific. I went on to read Vanished and enjoyed this novel as well. Later I read, One Perfect Spring and thought this book was superb. It was a great multi-generational story with characters you grow to care about. So I am excited to delve into Sea Rose Lane and enjoy the rest of this series.

Fist Line Friday

Here is the book nearest to me from The Masterpiece by Francine Rivers.

     “Roman Velasco climbed the fire escape and swung over the wall onto the flat roof.”

It’s a lovely book to read in hard cover. The quality paper, sturdy binding, and intriguing cover is so inviting. I’ve just started but already the dialogue is drawing me deeper into the story.  The premise of the story appears to be so in step with current issues and trends. Looking forward to seeing the story through to the conclusion. Thanks to the bloggers at Hoarding Books for sponsoring “First Line Fridays”

National Parks

Theodore Roosevelt National Park – I think it was the grandeur of Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota that sparked my fascination with our great public lands. Soon after my trip out west, I sent away for my National Park Passport. I’ve collected a good number of stamps. My goal is to add a few every year. From there I started collecting the National Park Quarters. I’ve have nearly a complete set. So when I saw Karen Barnett’s book titled The Road to Paradise – A Vintage National Parks Novel... I was very excited. Now I’ve discovered the sequel is set to arrive in bookstores in June. It tops my “TBR” list.

Jocelyn Green’s New Release

The Mark of the King by Jocelyn Green is a reading adventure that delivers memorable characters and a satisfying plot. You’ll find yourself captured by the setting and the events surrounding Colonial New Orleans. A good measure of intrigue adds a dimension to the plot that keeps readers engaged to see how these plot details resolve. I am looking forward to the release this month of Jocelyn Green’s newest book, A Refuge Assured. I anticipate a novel that exudes great word choice, inventive plot details, and detailed research. I expect to meet bold characters with purpose moving through a multi-layered plot.
