Each year, Sheila over at Book Journey makes a big deal over what the first book she’ll read will be for the new year and once again she’s asked us to join her.
For
my first book of the year, I decided to go with a book I’ve been
wanting to read for a while – and one that’s been sitting on my shelf
for some time as well. I’m going to be reading: The Violets of March by Sarah Jio.
I’ve
heard such great things about this book and only recently read my first Sarah Jio book – The Look of Love – which I absolutely loved. Now I’m eager to go back and read her back list.
So, what’s your first book of 2015 going to be?
I read this book a few years ago, I think it was the first book I read of Sarah Jios, I loved it and have read all her books every since. My first book this year of 2015 is "I Heart Paris" by Lindsey Kelk. I decided I needed a visit to Paris if only in my mind. Happy Reading in 2015.
I've had this book on my shelf for a while now but just haven't had time to read it. After loving The Look of Love, I knew this was going to be my First Book of 2015. So far, it's really good!
I listened to the audio of this book in 2014 and enjoyed it very much. I haven't read The Look of Love though yet.
I really enjoyed The Look of Love and have been looking forward to picking up more of her books. This one I've had for a while, so I knew it would be a good pick for my first read of 2015!
I love Sarah Jio and Violets of March has been on my bookshelf forever … I seem to keep reading her latest. Definitely going to happen in 2015!! Enjoy 🙂
I only just started reading her, but absolutely loved The Look of Love. I got The Violets of March last year (2013) as a Christmas present, but just never got around to reading it! So far, it's really good!
I liked this one. Happy New Year, Kristin!
I've heard nothing but good things about it. Happy New Year to you, too!
I need to read this one, I have enjoyed this author in 2014. Happy New Year!
I've only read the one book by her, her latest, but I like her writing style and have heard nothing but good things about her books. Happy New Year to you, too!
I really liked The Violets of March and I hope you enjoy it too. Happy New Year!
So far, it's really good!
Good choice, Kristin…I loved The Violets of March, and have subsequently read everything Jio has written. I haven't yet read The Look of Love, but I have it on Sparky. Enjoy!
Here's my “FIRST BOOK OF 2015”
The Look of Love is really good and so far I'm really enjoying The Violets of March. I also have Goodnight June on my shelf, so that will be my next book by her. She's a great writer!
ENJOY….I still haven't read a Sarah Jio book, and I have two on my shelf.
Nice photo.
Happy New Year!!

She's a really good writer and so far, I've found her books are rather quick reads.
oh my goodness. i couldn't wait to get that book just for the cover alone – no waiting on reading that one – & loved it.
EnJoy!
Wonderful!
HapPy New Year and HapPy Reading your 1st Book of Many this year ! 😉

Yes, the cover is rather beautiful, as are a few of her others if I recall. I can't believe I waited so long to read this, but it's really good so far.
I hope you're enjoying it! I'm reading Love Minus Eighty by Will McIntosh.
It's very good so far. Not familiar with your book, but I hope you're enjoying it!
I have this book on my TBR. I need to try this author. Hau'oli Makahiki Hou to you.
She's a great author and her books are quick reads. This one is really good so far!
I've heard a lot of good things about Sarah Jio! Have a happy 2015 of reading! Visiting today, I realized I hadn't visited in a while. It's too bad that it's so much easier for WordPress bloggers to follow WP bloggers than Blogger bloggers, and vice versa!
She's really a good reader. I think this year I'm going to try to read a bunch of her other books – so far they tend to be quick reads. Yes, the whole following process can be a pain when you're on a different platform. But thanks for stopping by!!!
I can't wait to see what you think of this one! I loved Goodnight June and have almost picked this up at the library about a dozen times. Have a happy New Year!
So far, it's really good. I have Goodnight June on my shelf, so that will be the next book of her's that I read.
Great choice. Loved this book and everything since that Sarah has written. Happy reading.
It's really good so far. I can't believe I waited so long to pick it up!
Wow, nice first book of 2015!! I want to read The Viloets of March too. Happy New Year and enjoy reading your 1st book of 2015!!
It's really good and a quick read. I'm hoping to finish it today!
Not heard of this before. Need to go find out more. Happy new year! Emma
She's a great author and have quite a few books out. Her latest, The Look of Love, came out in the fall. Very good – and her books tend to be quick reads.
Good choice! This is still on my TBR list too.
I haven't heard of this book. What a beautiful cover! Great picture, and I hope you enjoy your first book of the year. 🙂
