End of Summer Book Haul

Hey Guys!


Thanks for joining me today on the Preppy Book Princess!


As we say goodbye to summer, and welcome in my all time favorite season, I thought it would be fun to share with you all the books I purchased during the last few weeks of summer. 



First things first, I made another trip to my favorite used bookstore, and while I haven't had as much luck here the last few times as I used to, I still found some good books, and as always, I was happy to support our local animal shelter where all proceeds from book sales here go.



Janette Oke was one of the first inspirational authors I ever read, but I actually have never owned too many of her books as our local library always had a huge collection of them, and so I always just borrowed them from there. I was excited to find a few of hers at the used bookstore this time though, and so I ended up grabbing When Comes The Spring and Once Upon A Summer.



I kid you not, every single time I go to this bookstore, I check for Debbie Macomber titles that I don't already own, and I generally almost always have luck finding some, and that was the case again this time.


I was able to find 74 Seaside Avenue from my all time favorite Cedar Cove series, and as well, The Inn at Rose Harbor which is the first book in the Rose Harbor series, which is actually a spin off of the Cedar Cove series. I have read this Rose Harbor novel before, but I'd never finished the series so I'm looking forward to rereading it, and finally continuing on with this beloved series.




Lastly, I was quite impressed to find some more inspirational fiction novels during this visit, and I grabbed The Christmas Candle by Max Lucado, which I haven't read before although I did really enjoy his other books. As well, I picked up The Christmas Promise by Donna VanLiere from her Christmas Hope series, and while I have read this whole series, I'm currently trying to collect them all as they're definitely a favorite, and so I was ecstatic to find this one on the 50 cent shelf.



My hubby actually started his Christmas shopping early this year like I did, and placed a big order with Book Outlet. The day the order came I was having a really rough day due to some negative circumstances at work, so he surprised me with giving me one of the books he ordered right then and there


I love this sweet contemporary by Jenny Han, and I had yet to own my own copy of it. I honestly can't wait to see this movie :)



Lastly, and possibly most exciting of all, I treated myself to a couple of inspirational fiction novels that I ordered from indigo.


I ordered True To You by Becky Wade, who's literally one of my all time favorite authors ever. And I also ordered A Cliche Christmas by Nicole Deese which literally sounds like something that was written with me in mind. After all, it's about a woman who writes screenplays for TV Christmas movies, and ahhhh I can't wait to read both of these books. 


Thanks so much for reading guys! I enjoyed getting to share my recent purchases with all of you.
