January Book Haul :)

Hey Guys!

My birthday was in January, and I was blessed to receive quite a few new books that I'm really excited to read.

As well, I cashed in some of my swagbucks for an Indigo gift card, and I actually won a book in a contest as well.

I'm currently on a book buying ban, as I'm trying to put as much money on my debt as I can possibly can, and so it was awesome to receive so many amazing new books, especially since I haven't been buying any myself lately.

I'm so excited to share them all with you, and so let's go ahead and get started:

First, my hubby and I visited our favorite local used bookstore on my birthday, where he picked me up some pretty amazing goodies. I've mentioned this bookstore on my blog many times before, and it's one of our favorites stores. Not only are the prices amazing, but it's entirely a charity bookstore, and all proceeds go to the local animal shelter.

This time, we found all four original novels in The Sisterhood Of The Travelling Pants series, and the best part? This whole series was only one dollar!!!!

And then they had lots of Debbie Macomber novels this time around, and so Neil bought me three from the Blossom Street Series. I got Hannah's List, Blossom Street Brides, and Twenty Wishes, each of which were only 2 dollars!

Next, I happened to win a contest through Instagram from The Bookworm Box!!! I never win these type of contests, and so I was extremely excited. Even more so due to the fact that the book I won was Dream Chaser by Angie Stanton! I adore her books, and I can't wait to go ahead and read this one. Thanks so much to The Bookworm Box!

I then used my Indigo gift card from Swagbucks to order a few novels that I've been wanting for a long time: Bookishly Ever After by Isabel Bandeira, and two more of the 10th anniversary editions of the Gallagher Girls series by Ally Carter: I'd Tell You I Love You But Then I'd Have To Kill You, and Only The Good Spy Young. I'm hoping to collect the three I'm still missing in this series once my book buying ban lifts.

My husband purchased the beautiful Selection series coloring book for me, and I was so excited when I opened this. The Selection remains one of my all time favorite series, and I can't wait to start coloring in this one.

He also placed an order from Book Outlet during their Boxing Day sale, and that's where a lot of my birthday gifts came from.

First, for adult fiction I received Love Letters by Debbie Macomber, and Shopaholic To The Stars and Shopaholic To The Rescue by Sophie Kinsella.

Next for YA books, I received Tiny Pretty Things by Dhonielle Clayton and Sonia Chairapota (which was the one I'd wanted the most), and then Prophecy by Ellen Oh, which I'd never heard of before, but it sounds amazing!

And then lastly I received six inspirational fiction books that I can't wait to read:

Love Arrives In Pieces and All's Fair In Love And Cupcakes by Betsey St. Amant, and A Heart's Betrayal by Colleen Coble.

How To Catch A Prince by Rachel Hauck, and two more of the A Year Of Wedding Novella Series: Summer Brides by Beth Wiseman, Debra Clopton, and Maybeth Whalen, and Autumn Brides by Kathryn Springer, Katie Ganshert, Beth K. Vogt.

I was extremely spoiled to receive such amazing books for my birthday this year, and I can't wait to dive into all of these!

Thanks so much for reading guys, and 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...
