My Heart Belongs in Castle Gate, Utah: Leanna’s Choice

36420739

Castle Gate, Utah, 1910

Leanna McKee pushed her hat by its brim, hiding her face as best she could. She would not let him see her.

Isn’t that cover lovely?! I’ve not read any of the books in My Heart Belongs To series, so I am very excited to begin with this book. If you are unfamiliar with this book, click HERE to read its Goodreads summary.

Now it is your turn! Grab the book you are currently reading, open to chapter one, and post the first sentence (or second sentence) in the comments below. Then head on over to Hoarding Books to see all of the FLF pages this week (just click on the FLF button below).

  1. Hats are such useful accessories! What a shame we don’t wear them as a matter of course any more.

    I’m featuring Sarah Monzon’s upcoming release, ‘The Esther Paradigm’ on my blog this week, but here I will share the first line of Irma Joubert’s ‘The Crooked Path’:

    Lettie and Annabel had been friends for as long as they could remember.

    Have a great weekend! 🙂

  2. I haven’t read any books in the My Heart Belongs To series, either. The covers are certainly pretty!

    I’m sharing the first line from Christmas at Harrington’s by Melody Carlson on my blog today and in staying with my Christmas theme, I’ll share the first line from another Christmas book on my to be read list here. This line is from A Husband for Holly by Marion Ueckermann “OH NO. Hurry, Heather, before she spots us.”

  6. I think we need to bring hats and fans back into everyday life. 🙂

    My first line is from “Fish and Chips” by Erynn Mangum.

    “In all honesty, it wasn’t me who killed the fish.”

  7. Why didn’t the hat trend stay popular in America?

    I shared a line from Seeking Mansfield by Kate Watson on my blog today but the first line of what I’m reading is…

    Is Daddy down there? (from Christmas at Cade Ranch by Karen Rock).

  8. Haha, hats are useful accessories for hiding when one doesn’t want to be seen. Too bad they’re not so fashionable anymore.

    I’m featuring Hometown Girl by Courtney Walsh on my blog, but I’m currently reading a non-fiction book called She’s Got The Wrong Guy: Why Smart Women Settle by Deepak Reju so I’ll use that today.

    Part 1:
    From Problems to Faith
    When it comes to dating and marriage, what problems do you face as a single woman?

    Happy Friday!!

  17. My first line is from The Color of Redemption by Lynn Cornell:
