We made it to Friday!! It has been a really long week around here. Any plans for the weekend? I am planning to rest a lot this weekend, not feeling the greatest today. We are supposed to get some winter weather on Sunday (let it snow!!) so we probably won't be going to church. I also plan to do quite a bit of reading and blogging. Welcome back to
First Line Friday hosted by Carrie
at Reading is My SuperPower!! I am also linking up with Gilion on Rose City Reader
for Book Beginnings. This is where you share the beginning of the book that you are reading. To join in the fun grab the book you are reading and
leave a comment with the first line (or your link). This week I am reading Deadly Target by Elizabeth Goddard. It is the second book in the Rocky Mountain Courage series.
Book Beginnings:
Puget Sound
For a few hours every Saturday morning, Erin Larson could forget that evil existed.
And usually, only on the water.
She dipped the double-bladed paddle into the sea, then again on the other side-left, right, left, right, left, right-alternating strokes in a fluid motion to propel her kayak across the blue depths. Her friend Carissa Edwards paddled close behind.
About the book (from Goodreads):
Criminal psychologist
Erin Larson's dreams of a successful career come to a screeching halt
when she nearly loses her own life in a boating accident on Puget Sound
and then learns that her mother tried to commit suicide. She leaves her
job as a criminal psychologist to care for her mother in Montana. At
least she is able to produce her podcast, which focuses on solving
missing persons cold cases.
Nathan Campbell's father was
investigating such a case when he was shot, and now Nathan needs to
enlist Erin's help to solve the case. She's good at what she does. The
only problem? She's his ex.
As the two dig deeper, it becomes
clear that they, too, are being targeted--and that the answers to their
questions are buried deep within the past Erin struggles to explain and
longs to forget.
The race is on for the truth in this gripping
and complex tale of suspense, intrigue, and murder from USA Today
bestselling author Elizabeth Goddard.

Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteI'm currently reading The Breakup Project by Carolyn Miller. I'll share from there:
"Somehow, the sight of Breanna Karlsson looking as stunned as Mike felt made the torture of coming here almost worthwhile."
Hope you have an excellent weekend!
Thanks for stopping by Nicole! Have a fabulous weekend.
DeleteI'm looking forward to reading this series. I haven't started it yet though, but enjoyed her last series.
ReplyDeleteWe are getting snow today as well, but that is par for the course this time of year. Hope you have a great weekend!
Hi Gretchen! I read the first book last year and this one has been on my TBR list so I am happy to be able to get to it. We've not had a winter storm since 2018 so I do hope we get the snow, even a little bit, but not the ice. Have a great weekend!
DeleteI hope you get the rest you need this weekend and are feeling better soon. Deadly Target sounds like a good read! Reading is to me what being on the water to Erin in that opening. I hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Reading is very much my escape as well! Have a great weekend!
DeleteLoved Deadly Target and all the books that I have read by Beth!
ReplyDeleteMy first line is from Twilight at Moorington Cross by Abigail Wilson
1819 Kent, England
It was entirely possible that I spent more time lying on the floor of Cluett’s Mesmeric Hospital than standing upon it.
I love the cover of that one, Paula. I hope it's great. Have a good weekend!
DeleteHappy Friday :) I will also probably be resting this weekend since I will also be hit by the snow in my area! Hopefully catching up on some reading and getting in a little bit of studying too.

DeleteHope your Winter weather finds you ready for lots of inside activities like reading and blogging. Stay warm.
ReplyDeleteThanks Anne, right now it looks more like an ice event which is no fun, but it will be nice to just stay in and read! Have a great weekend!
DeleteI like the sound of this one. I'll have to put it on my wishlist.
