Checking Back On My Second Book Haul

Hello Bookish Friends :)

I hope you're all having a great week so far, and I want to thank you all for joining me here today on The Preppy Book Princess.

Last October I had done a blog post that I titled Checking Back On My Very First Book Haul. It consisted of me looking back at the very first book haul I ever posted on my blog, and evaluating just how many of the books listed in that haul I'd actually read.

I've gotten a little better in the last year or two at not constantly buying books all the time, especially where the used bookstores or Book Outlet are concerned. I still buy books regularly, but I don't tend to do the huuuge book hauls like I used to when I first started this blog.

All of this is a long winded way of introducing the fact that I felt compelled to do another one of these check backs on one of my earlier book hauls, and so today I'd like to share with you all a look back on the second book haul I posted on my blog back in January of 2016.

This particular book haul was my boxing day haul from Book Outlet, and I'm hoping I make out better with how many books I've read from this one than I did when I did the check back on my first haul.

If you're interested in seeing this original haul post, check it out here, and now let's go ahead and jump right into the look back. :)

I hope you guys enjoyed this somewhat different blog post, and if you did and want to see more of these type of posts, please let me know in the comments!

Have a great rest of your day guys, and I'll see you all soon for more bookish content :)

First Line Friday: Carolina Breeze

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you're all having a great week! Mine has actually been pretty good. We've had some really nice days, and my husband and I were finally able to put our garden in, and various flowers and the like. We've also had a couple of lovely, rainy days as well, and I love how green everything is looking in our yard right now. For today's post, I'm excited to once again be linking up with the lovely Hoarding Books for another edition of First Line Friday. This fun weekly meme simply consists of sharing the first line of the book you're currently reading. For this week's first line, I'm going to be sharing from Denise Hunter's recently released title that I ended up absolutely loving. Carolina Breeze by Denise Hunter: About The Book: A jilted bride.

First Line Friday: Courting Mr. Emerson

Happy Friday Everyone :) Since it is Friday, I'll once again be participating in First Line Friday which is hosted by Hoarding Books . For this week, I'm going to be sharing the first line from Melody Carlson's newest book, Courting Mr. Emerson. About The Book: When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause--and finds herself falling for him in the process. A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often. He's not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them. But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The quest
