This week, I'm spotlighting my current read, Melanie Dobson's Hidden Among the Stars. This is a split-time novel set in Nazi-occupied Austria and present day America.
Lake Hallstatt, Austria
March 1938
The blade of a shovel, cutting through frosted grass. That's what she remembered most from the spring of 1938.
I'm about 25% into the book right now, and it's quite enjoyable! Look for my review tomorrow.
Check out the book on Amazon & Goodreads.

ReplyDelete“Monday, six-fifteen in the morning and the alarm wakes me up for a new day.”
I've heard lots of good things about that book! Thanks for stopping by :-)
DeleteI’m featuring Michelle Griep’s new novella, A Tale of Two Hearts, on my blog today. Here is the second line:
ReplyDelete“Closing her eyes, she savored the warmth and the first line to a new adventure, as was her wont whenever Miss Whymsy stopped by and lent her a book."
Happy Friday!
I'll be reading that book in a couple weeks--can't wait to get to it!
DeleteLOVED this book! I shared my review for it today as part of a tour :)
ReplyDeleteThe Book I'm sharing on my blog this week is A Love Restored by Kelly Goshorn but I'm currently reading The Abolitionist's Daughter by Kathleen Maher so I'll share the first line of that here: "The wrong ideas could get a head--and a body--into a heap of trouble." Hope you have a great weekend with plenty of quality reading time! :)
Thanks! I haven't read either of the books you mention, but that first line sounds interesting!
DeleteHappy Friday!😎
ReplyDeleteMy first lines come from a book I’m reading next, In Her Bones by Kate Moretti.
Your life is more open than you think. You think you’re safe. You have neighborhood watches and room -darkening drapes, password-protected computers, alarm systems, and garage codes that are absolutely not your firstborn’s birthday.
Have a great weekend and happy reading!😊💕
Sounds like it might be a bit too creepy for me, Susan, but I hope you enjoy it!
