Friday Reads: June 24th, 2016

Happy Friday To All My Fellow Readers!

Honestly guys I'm so excited it's finally the weekend. This has been such a rough week, with work being insanely busy, and trying to get caught up on housework and yard work, and all that fun stuff, and I'm so ready to finally have some time to relax.

I'm still working today and tomorrow, but am thankful that I have Sunday off, as I will be spending it with my nephew at a local festival which has become a tradition for the two of us to attend together. What are everyone else's plans for the weekend? Hopefully it will be a nice weekend weather wise to be outside.

And speaking of it finally being Friday, I'm excited to once again be doing a #Friday Reads post. #Friday Reads is a weekly meme that is hosted by the Petite Book Blogger, and it consists of talking about the books you will be reading over the weekend, describing whether or not you're liking them, and whether or not you plan on reviewing them.

While I know there's no way I will be finishing all the books I'm including today, I'm hoping to read at least a little bit in each of them.

Here's my books for this weekend:

1) Recreated by Colleen Houck:

This book has honestly been really slow going for me. While I loved Tiger's Curse, I'm just not feeling the same connection to the characters in this one, and I honestly find the Egyptian mythology it's based on a little confusing to follow. However, it is still a fairly enjoyable read, and I'm hoping I will get more into it once I read more of it. Since this is an ARC copy, I will definitely be reviewing this one when I finish it.

2) Fogged Inn by Barbara Ross:

I haven't actually started this one yet, but I've been enjoying the first three books in this series over the last two weeks or so, and I'm excited to dive back into a mystery focused around a family who runs a Maine clambake tourist attraction. I probably will not be reviewing this one when I finish.

3) Lovestruck in London by Rachel Schurig:

Everyone who knows me knows I'm a total sucker for the famous person falling for the average person type of plot line, and that in itself made me fall head over heels in love with this book. However, there's so much more to this book than I was expecting, and I can't even describe how much I love the numerous characters, and the amazing romance developing between the two mains. My best friend just finished this one, and gave it five stars, and I have a feeling I will probably end up doing the same. I will also most likely be reviewing this one as well.

4) Mother Daughter Book Camp by Heather Vogel Frederick:

Last spring I was suffering horribly with my asthma, and my doctor at the time could not seem to figure out a way to get it under control. Unfortunately, this meant I was forced to take a lot of time off of work, and forced to spend a lot of time relaxing, as it seemed that the slightest things would aggravate my lungs, and I'd end up having to be put on a nebulizer. I was in serious danger of losing my mind from how stir crazy I was becoming, and then I happened to discover The Mother Daughter Book Club series by Heather Vogel Frederick. These books helped me through that horrible time, and I was literally so wrapped up in them that I actually forgot about all the horrible health stuff that was going on around me. These characters have been so important to me ever since, and I can't even tell you how excited I was at the start of this week when I found out a seventh and final book had just been released in this series. I was also extremely excited that my library happened to have it, and you can bet that I will be putting aside a considerable chunk of time this weekend to curl up with this book. Hopefully, I will also be getting around to reviewing it.

5) The Grand Sophy by Georgette Heyer:

My last book for this weekend is The Grand Sophy, and it's a book unfortunately, that I don't know too much about. It sounds like a cute, historical romance though, and I'm looking forward to getting the chance to read it. Although, it will also probably not be one I will be reviewing.

Thanks for reading everyone. I hope you all have a great weekend!

Announcing My Temporary Hiatus From Book Blogging

Hello all my sweet bookish lovelies :) I pray you all had a lovely Christmas, and are looking forward to having a wonderful New Year's as well. I've shared a little bit of info over the past few months on my blog about why I wasn't around as often, but now it's time to share with you all exactly what that is. My hubby and I found out we were expecting earlier this year, and we had the immense pleasure of welcoming our precious baby boy into the world this month. Because of this, I've decided to take a temporary step back from book blogging and reviewing, while I adjust to being a first time mom to a newborn. I will definitely be back blogging in some form or another, but not sure at this point exactly when that will be as my little man deserves all of his mommy's attention right now. I thank you guys all for being a part of another wonderful year here on The Preppy Book Princess, and I look forward to jumping back into the Christian book community sometime in ...

A Refuge in Montana by Allie Pleiter Review

Happy Monday My Sweet Bookish Friends :) It's been awhile, how have you all been doing? Originally, I had hoped to be back doing at least semi regular book reviews by now, and since I had an author offer me an ARC copy right around when I wanted to start trying again, I figured I'd give it a go. Unfortunately, I've been dealing with some health complications post partum (which I really don't want to go into at the moment), and my energy is just not where it needs to be at this point. I'm excited to get to share this review with you all as I did enjoy the title and would love to tell you more about it, but this will be my only review for awhile, at least until we can get everything figured out with my health. With that being said, let's dive right into today's review, but first if you'd like to check out my reviews of the previous titles in the series, you can do so using the links below: Rescue on the Farm A Montana Sized Secret Otherwise, keep on read...

First Line Friday: The Joy of Falling

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you've all had a great week, and that you've had time to curl up with some great books. This week, Lindsay Harrel's newest book released, and I loved it when I had the chance to read and review it. I'm excited to feature it for this week's First Line Friday post which is hosted by the lovely ladies over at Hoarding Books. The Joy of Falling by Lindsay Harrel: About The Book: Eva and Angela must learn to live again. One step at a time. It has been fifteen months since Eva and Angela lost their thrill-seeking husbands in a scuba diving accident. Both women are trying to navigate their way through the grief, but neither one is making much progress. Angela is barely making ends meet, angry at her husband for leaving her to raise three children on her own. Meanwhile, Eva is stuck, unable to move forward after losing the love of her life and her source of inspiration. But then Eva gets a life-changing phone call. Befor...
