Welcome to First Line Friday hosted by Hoarding Books! I just finished reading a book that I’m certain will be one of my favourite contemporary romances for 2019. Yes, it’s only February, but call it booklover’s intuition, if you will. Sometimes we just know, don’t we? That book is Brunch at Bittersweet Cafè, the second book in Carla Laureano’s Supper Club series, and you can read my review here.
About the Book
Justin is intrigued by the lively bohemian baker, but the last thing he’s looking for is a relationship. His own romantic failures have proven that the demands of his job are incompatible with meaningful connections, and he’s already pledged his life savings to a new business venture across the country—an island air charter in Florida with his sister and brother-in-law.
Against their better judgment, Melody and Justin find themselves drawn together by their unconventional career choices and shared love of adventure. But when an unexpected windfall provides Melody with the chance to open her dream bakery-café in Denver with her best friend, chef Rachel Bishop, she’s faced with an impossible choice: stay and put down roots with the people and place she’s come to call home . . . or give it all up for the man she loves.

I shared this book on my blog too! Here I will share from American Omens by Travis Thraser — The spiderweb cracks in the windshield made it easy to spot the old Chevy SUV in the parking lot. Happy Friday!
Ah, of course! Good choice, Katie 🙂 As you know I went historical rom com for my FLF post but here’s one of a book sitting next to me, “Tonight, I die.”Wonder if you recognise that one?!?!
I’ve heard lots of good things about this book! I’ve added to to my #TBR mountain!
I’m currently reading Sarah Sundin’s latest book “The Sky Above Us” I’ll share here the first line from Chapter 30 (because that’s where I am at this moment).
“At 250 yards, Adler squeezed the trigger. Texas Eagle’s bullets erupted the length of the Messerschmitt 110’s right wing, and smoke plumed out of the right engine. Flames.”
I hope you have a wonderful weekend, and get to enjoy some time reading!
I will have the pleasure of reading this book next week and I cannot wait. Although I probably shouldn’t be hungry when I’m reading it, right!?
I’ll share the first line of a book I’m starting later today, Courting Mr. Emerson by Melody Carlson:
“George Emerson didn’t need anybody.”
Happy Friday!!
Happy Friday!
Today on my blog, I am also sharing the first line from Brunch at Bittersweet Cafe by Carla Laureano. Great minds, Katie!!! I am loving this book so much. I’m currently just starting chapter 19, so I will share the first line from that chapter here.
“‘A bookstore?’ Justin didn’t mean for his dismay to show in his voice when he pulled up in front of the address Melody had given him, but it escaped all the same.”
Hope you have a really excellent weekend filled with relaxing reading time. 🙂💜📚
I’m still drooling over your pretty new site, my friend! And you’ve chosen a drool-worthy book this week as well! I’m sharing a new release on Faithfully Bookish but here’s the first line from chapter 2 of my current read, Once Bitten by Betsy St. Amant of the Finding Ever After novella collection: “He was going to stand her up.”
I’m reading (well, listening) to this one today so I’ll share the first line from the next up on the tbr!
Wars weren’t won with caution, and aces weren’t made in straight and level flight.

Happy Friday, Katie! I’m sharing from my current read today, American Omens by Travis Thrasher (Uncorrected Proof). Her is the first line from Chapter 17 “The Same Page”:
“The moment her father stepped foot in the barn that morning, Cheyenne couldn’t help but let loose with an uproarious laugh.”
Happy Weekend! My first line is from “If Only It Were Yesterday” by A. M. Heath:
“Oomph. Something solid bashed into my shoulder, knocking me off balance.”
I’ve been hearing lots of good things about that book! Happy Reading!!!
Today I’m sharing the first lines from A Flight of Arrows by Lori Benton:
“Satahuhsiyost — Listen! Open your ears to a story I will tell you.”
