Reading with Jessica January Announcement

Hello reading friends! Welcome to Reading with Jessica! I’m excited to begin this journey and do hope that you’ll read right along with me. Or, if you’ve already read the book, that you’ll join in the conversation each week!

Here’s how it will work. Think of it like a buddy read, or a book club, only it’s right here on my blog. I’m going to blog my journey in reading different books, and I’m hoping that you’ll share your thoughts on the same chapters! You can read right along with me week to week, or you can read at your own pace and visit the blog posts as you go through the book. Whatever works best for you.

In the beginning of the month, I’ll share the book and the reading plan for that month. Then each week after that, I’ll post a reminder of what chapters I read, and then include my thoughts on those chapters. Some may be more intensive then others, just depends on the book and the pace of the story.

NOTE – THERE WILL BE SPOILERS!!! Making sure to really put that out there so there are no surprises. And I’ll try to remind you with each post in case you forget. But I’m really looking to have interaction between me, and you – my faithful readers. And maybe even some new friends! So….let’s get started.

Book Announcement

I already announced this yesterday on my First Line Friday post, but I’ll say it here in case you missed it. This month I’ll be reading and discussing A Mark of Grace by Kimberley Woodhouse. Here’s more about the book:

When everything crumbles, her chance for a new beginning hangs in the balance.

Ruth Anniston survived an injury that left her physically scarred, broken, and angry at God. Now, she finds herself working behind the scenes as a kitchen and dining room supervisor at the El Tovar Hotel, hidden away from curious eyes and with little hope of finding love. When money begins to disappear from the hotel, Ruth's entire livelihood is put at risk when she lands on the list of suspects.

Frank Henderson has at last succeeded in obtaining his dream job as head chef at the El Tovar. But competition in the kitchen is fierce, and one mistake could cost him his future. As the thefts at the hotel continue, and his affection for Ruth grows, Frank's career--and his heart--are in jeopardy.

As tensions run high, Ruth and Frank must work together to save the El Tovar. They find themselves growing closer . . . but can their combined ingenuity overcome the odds against them?
