Happy Friday!
The book I’m featuring this week is:
Amazon | Goodreads
Ann Norris knew two things for certain. Some things could be forgiven. And some things could certainly not.
I know I normally only tease the first sentence but I thought that might be mean in this circumstance haha. A Glitter of Gold releases next week on Aug 6, 2019. I just received my copy and I’ll be reading it very soon. I was on the launch team for the first book in this series called A Sparkle of Silver (click HERE for review), so I was excited when I was asked to be on it for the next in the series as well. I will be at FRS next week so I probably won’t get much reading done, but I would say I should hopefully have my full review up within the next two weeks or so 🙂
About the Book:
Anne Norris moved to Savannah, Georgia, for a fresh start. Now her pirate-tour business is flagging, and paying the rent requires more than wishful thinking. When she discovers evidence of a shipwreck off the coast of Tybee Island, she knows it could be just the boon she needs to stay afloat. She takes her findings to local museum director Carter Hale for confirmation, but she runs after a disastrous first meeting.
Carter has been searching for the location of the wreck detailed in the worn pages of an 18th-century diary, the discovery of which could open the door to his dream job at a prestigious museum. But convincing Anne to help him fill in the missing pieces of the puzzle is no easy task. And working with Carter means that Anne will have to do the one thing she swore she’d never do again: trust a man.
Finding a monetary backer and sticking with a search that’s turning up nothing will take all their dedication–and every secret they’ve tried to hide. If they can find the lost ship, they may discover a treasure worth more than all the pirate gold in the world–love.

Here I’ll share the first line from Chapter 8 of the same book.
“Nearly all the apple trees along the main drive had bloomed, their pale petals washed by moonlight against the dark sky.”
Wow love the imagery!
This book has lots of fantastic imagery!! 🙂
Ooh! “A Glitter of Gold” is SO GOOD!
I’m sharing the first line from another great book;
“A Lady’s Maid” by Jen Geigle Johnson
London, England 1831
Molly O’Malley’s coal-powder disguise hid her creamy skin and blended with her black-clad form in the shadows of the early morning.
That’s a good one too I just read it last week. Enjoy!
Happy Friday!
On my blog, I’m sharing the first line from A Dangerous Legacy by Elizabeth Camden: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2019/08/01/first-line-friday-96/. I’m currently on chapter two of A Daring Venture by Camden. I’m on a Camden kick! 😀
“By the time Rosalind arrived at the crowded Manhattan restaurant to meet Mr. Drake, her nerves were wound as tight as a piano wire.”
Hope you have an excellent weekend! 😀❤📚

I love the title of the book you are featuring!
I’m currently reading The Healing Jar by Wanda E. Brunstetter. I’m on chapter 19 so I’ll share the first line of that chapter. “Sara had just finished waiting on a customer when Brad came into the shop, wide-eyed and with deep furrows lining his forehead.”
I hope you have a good time at FRS!
The Healing Jar is my next read! Thanks I’m really excited for FRS 🙂
An intriguing opening paragraph!
I’m sharing on my blog the first line from Love and Other Mistakes by Jessica Kate.
Natalie Groves eyed the bag of Gingerbread M&M’s on the other side of the office meeting room and prayed for a divine intervention of Red Sea proportions.
I hope you enjoy it!
Lovely line! Happy Friday!
Zeke stoked her cheek, “Please, Mama don’t die. Who’ll pray for me? from “Sweet Harmony” by Caryl McAdoo
Those are great opening lines! I can’t wait to read the book! 😊
Right now I’m reading Deadly Intentions by Lisa Harris. Here’s the first line: “Josh Solomon has barely slept in thirty-six hours.” I’m almost finished with the book, and it’s been great so far!
Have a great weekend! 😃
I haven’t read it yet I hope you enjoy!
It is hard to resists sharing only one when lines are that good. Happy Reading 🙂
So very true! LOL Thanks happy reading to you too!
