Summer Vacation Book Tag :)

Hello Everyone :)


I hope you're all doing well, and I want to thank you all for joining me for another post here on The Preppy Book Princess.


It's been such a long time since I did a book tag, that I honestly don't even remember what the last one was that I posted.


However, I'd really missed doing them, since they're always such a fun thing to participate in, and I thought today would be the perfect day to post another one.


For today's post, I chose The Summer Vacation Book Tag, which was created by Em from Keystroke Blog.


I figured since I'm not taking a summer vacation this year, that maybe participating in this tag would help combat the vacation blues a little. (or at least I can hope lol!)


First Day of Summer: 

A New Book You Have Been Waiting To Read

Maybe This Time by Kasie West:



Kasie West is one of my favorite authors, and I'm really looking forward to reading her newest release. Unfortunately though, I have a bad habit of always saving her books to read for so long, that I actually haven't finished her last couple of releases either.

Beach Day:

A Book That Leaves You Wanting More

State of Lies by Siri Mitchell:




I loved this novel when I read it last month, but the ending left me wanting more of my questions answered. Plus, I would have loved it even more if their had been more of a faith element to it.

Check out my full review here.


Portable Fan:

A Book Where The Romance Is On Point

Sweet on You by Becky Wade:



Zander and Britt's story was everything I was hoping for, and the perfect conclusion to the Bradford sisters. Becky Wade is another one of my favorites, and she's one of the very best at writing romance period!

Check out my full review here.


Slip and Slide:

A Book You Were Exited For But Didn't Live Up To Your Expectations

The Sun is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon:



I thought this one was truly going to be amazing, but I really couldn't get into the story. I found their were way too many characters to try and keep up with, and this is definitely one of my bookish pet peeves.


Theme Park:

A Fantastical Book That Transported You To Another World

The Kindom Keepers by Ridley Pearson:



Since Disney is my favorite vacation destination, and the Kingdom Keepers is one of my all time favorite book series, it seems only fitting to pick it for this question. I literally can't wait for the new Kingdom Keepers spin off series that's supposed to be coming out in spring of next year!


Thunder Storm:

A Dark Book That Was Light Up With Streaks of Beauty

The House on Foster Hill by Jaime Jo Wright:



While I always love how deliciously scary Jaime Jo Wright's books are, my favorite thing about them is the focus on extreme faith despite the disheartening circumstances. For me personally, they always showcase the light at the end of the tunnel, and she's another of my favorite authors.

Check out my full review here


Visiting Friends:

A Book or Series That You Can't Get Enough Of

The Mother Daughter Book Club by Heather Vogel Frederick:



I could have chosen so many for this question, but I'm going to go with another of my favorite middle grade series. No matter how many times I re-read this series, it could never possibly be enough!


I tag any of you guys that are interested in participating, and I hope you all have a great rest of your day!

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
