It’s #FirstLineFriday time again! Last week was a learning experience for me, but I think I’ve worked out most of the kinks. For full instructions, you may click the Rules & Instructions link in the black header bar at the top, but here it is in a nutshell: I’m about to give you the opening line from a famous/popular/well-known book. If you recognize it, EMAIL me at marciameara16@gmail.com—NO answers here, please–with the title of the book and the author’s name. (No Googling allowed.) The first 5 correct emailers win a free download of one of my books. It’s that simple.
The contest runs Friday mornings from 8:00am to 12:00pm (noon) EST. At noon, I will close submissions, and announce the winners. If you already have all of my books, you can either gift your prize to someone else, or collect a credit for a free download of my next book.
One more previously unbeknownst to me detail: Amazon will not let me gift a download to anyone not living in the United States, but will that stop our fun? NOPE. I will happily send you winners abroad a Mobi or PDF file of your book of choice, either of which can be read on Kindle.
So. All that being said, are you ready? Today’s might be a bit trickier, so put on your thinking caps and let’s see how you do:
“The cold passed reluctantly from the earth, and the retiring fogs revealed an army stretched out on the hills, resting.”
The Write Stuff 
Ooh, I feel like I should know this one! It’s on the tip of my tongue, but I can’t get it right now. Need to do some more thinking. Loving these Friday competitions, Marcia 😊

So glad you’re enjoying the challenges, Harmony. If I don’t get a winner or two within the next hour, I’ll drop a hint. Maybe. 😀

I had a guess but wasn’t sure (or confident), so I looked it up. I was so surprised that my guess was right!
But I did look it up to confirm, so (obviously) I’m not playing. This was a good one, Marcia.

Awww, I’m so sorry you didn’t take a guess. (Nobody sees the wrong answers but ME, and I wouldn’t tell! 😀 ) Yes, I love this line and I remember loving this book. Going to give a hint if no one has tried in the next five minutes. I knew it would be trickier, but I figured some might get it. 🙂
Next time, trust yourself! 🙂 ❤

Just remembered this competition but I don’t recognise the quote at all 😦
But I’ve had some fun thinking about it and maybe I’ll recognise the next one…
Thanks, Marcia ❤

This one is tricky, as I warned, but it might be extra tricky for you. Will explain in a bit. 🙂 But I’m glad you gave it a shot, and I’m about to post one final clue. Don’t know if it will help, but give it a peek and see. 🙂
