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. :)

Della and Darby by Susannah B. Lewis Review

  Happy Monday Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you decided to stop by my little corner of the internet. My husband and I actually have this week off of work for a much needed holiday, and I'm excited for the many fun things we have planned. Aside from the fun things, I'm honestly thankful to have some extra time to get my house back in shape, and to get more organized for Christmas. I also hope to have lots of time to curl up with some great reads, and I recently had a chance to read one of my most anticipated 2023 releases! Earlier in the year, I read my first novel by Susannah B. Lewis, and I couldn't have loved it more. It was definitely one of my favorite reads of this entire year, and I've been looking forward to reading her next release ever since. If you'd like to check out that review, you can do so using the link below: Bless Your Heart Rae Sutton Otherwise, keep on reading down below for today's full review. De...

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...

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...
