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.

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...
