Top Ten Tuesday: Books That Awaken The Travel Bug In Me

Happy Tuesday Everyone :)

I'm very excited to be taking part in Top Ten Tuesday this week, especially for such a fun topic.

If you're unfamiliar, Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme that was created by The Broke and The Bookish, and is now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Find out more here.

Here's the ten books that awaken the travel bug in me!

1) Once Upon A Prince by Rachel Hauck:

While I knew the European country featured in Rachel Hauck's Royal Wedding series is fictional, it still inspires me to want to visit Europe someday. As well, I've always wanted to see Georgia which is the secondary setting for these books, so it's a win win in my eyes.

2) Waterfall by Lisa T Bergen:

While it may be a time travel novel set in Medieval Rome, it still inspires me to want to visit modern Italy someday.

3) Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins:

I've always had a fantasy about how amazing Paris seems, and I hope to see it for myself one day. My favorite novel of all time definitely gave me wanderlust when I finished it for the first time.

4) Karen's Big Weekend by Ann M. Martin:

I'm going to be nostalgic, and include a childhood pick. For as long as I can remember one of my dream vacations has been New York City at Christmastime, and it all started with me reading this book when I was six or seven. Someday I will make this trip happen, and it'll be from this book's inspiration.

5) Lovestruck in Los Angeles by Rachel Schurig:

I could have chosen from so many books that have inspired me to want to visit London someday, but I'm going to go with this one-one of my all time favorites.

6) Disney After Dark by Ridley Pearson:

Literally, every time I read any of Ridley Pearson's Kingdom Keeper novels, I want to go back to Disney World.

7) The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han:

Every time I read this beloved series by Jenny Han, I'm inspired to want to go to the beach.

8) Distant Echoes by Colleen Coble:

Hawaii is another dream vacation of mine and my hubby's, and I've read so many books set there. However, I remember really really wanting to visit Hawaii after I finished this Colleen Coble title.

9) The Secret Diamond Sisters by Michelle Madow:

Las Vegas was another vacation destination I'd always wanted to visit, and even more so after reading this young adult title by Michelle Madow. Even though when I did finally visit Vegas it was nothing like what I expected, I still have fond memories of the anticipation of visiting after first reading this book.

10) Love and Gelato by Jenna Evans Welch:

After finishing this adorable contemporary recently, I'm even more inclined to want to visit Italy someday!

And those are my picks guys! I can't wait to see which books everyone else chooses!

Thanks so much for reading :) Have a great rest of your day.

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...
