Happy Friday Everyone :)
I hope you're all had a great week, and that you're all looking forward to the weekend.
I'm excited to be taking part in another First Line Friday post today, which is hosted by Hoarding Books.
I'm especially excited to showcase the title I picked for this week, as I'm definitely loving this particular title that I'm reading right now.
The Land Beneath Us by Sarah Sundin:
Publisher: Revell
Publication Date: February 4th, 2020
About The Book:
In 1943, Private Clay Paxton trains hard with the U.S. Army Rangers at Camp Forrest, Tennessee, determined to do his best in the upcoming Allied invasion of France. With his future stolen by his brothers' betrayal, Clay has only one thing to live for—fulfilling the recurring dream of his death.
Leah Jones works as a librarian at Camp Forrest, longing to rise above her orphanage upbringing and belong to the community, even as she uses her spare time to search for her real family—the baby sisters she was separated from so long ago.
After Clay saves Leah's life from a brutal attack, he saves her virtue with a marriage of convenience. When he ships out to train in England for D-Day, their letters bind them together over the distance. But can a love strong enough to overcome death grow between them before Clay's recurring dream comes true?
(synopsis from goodreads)
My Thoughts:
This is actually my first experience with a Sarah Sundin novel. She's been on my list of authors to try forever, and I'm really glad that I finally got the opportunity to pick up one of her titles. I'm personally really enjoying this heartwrenching story that's set during World War Two, and Clay and Leah's story definitely has been pulling at my heartstrings. I'm really looking forward to finishing this one, and reading more of Sarah's books. While I can't say too much about it yet, as I'm not that far into it, I'm already loving it, and I'm predicting it's going to be a five star read for me.
First Line:
"Most men woke in a cold sweat when they dreamed of their own deaths, but not Private Clay Paxton."
What novel are you currently reading? Leave the first line in the comments, and then hop on over to Hoarding Books to see who else is participating this week.

ReplyDeleteToday on my blog I am sharing the first line from The Blue Cloak by Shannon McNear: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2020/02/07/first-line-friday-122/. I haven't started the book yet, so I will share a line from the novel I am reading with my Freshmen Honors class, Elsewhere.
"The end came quickly, and there wasn't any pain."
Hope you have an excellent weekend! 🙂❤️📚
The Blue Cloak sounds amazing!! I'm really interested in reading this one. Thanks so much for sharing :)
DeleteHappy Friday! My first line is from "The Fifth Avenue Story Society" by Rachel Hauck:
ReplyDelete"Well this was a fine mess."
I loved The Fifth Avenue Story Society! I think it's Rachel Hauck's best book to date. :)
DeleteMy first line is from The Blizzard Bride by Susanne Dietze
ReplyDelete“ Forgive my cryptic invitation to lunch, Miss Bracey, but I dared not go into detail on the chance your post was intercepted.”
Happy reading this weekend!
Loved all the Sarah Sundin books! That one was exceptional.
This is my first time reading a Sarah Sundin book, but I'm absolutely loving it! I haven't heard of the Blizzard Bride, but that's a fantastic first line, and I definitely need to go look it up on goodreads now. :)
DeleteI loved this one, and the rest of the series! ❤️ Right now I’m reading The Solid Grounds Coffee Company by Carla Laureano; here’s the first line: “By all accounts, Suesca was haunted.”
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend! 😊📚
I can't wait to read The Solid Grounds Coffee Company! I loved the first two books in the series, and that's an amazing first line. Thanks so much for sharing. :)
DeleteThis week on my blog I shared the first line from More Than We Remember by Christina Suzann Nelson but I'm currently reading The Fifth Avenue Story Society by Rachel Hauck so I'll share the first line from chapter 9: "The only thing worse than donning a rented tux on a Friday night so he could rub elbows with Manhattan's rich and infamous, was inviting a last-minute date." Hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI loved The Fifth Avenue Story Society! I think it's Rachel Hauck's best book to date. Thanks so much for sharing :)
DeleteHappy Saturday! Today I'm sharing the first lines from When I Close My Eyes by Elizabeth Musser: "The lady come out of the bookstore -- it was all decorated for Halloween, all sizes and colors of pumpkins making faces at me from where I watched across Haywood Street in downtown Asheville."
