The Preppy Book Princess

Happy Monday Everyone :) I hope you all had a lovely weekend, and I want to thank you all for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess. My husband and I ended up having an extremely stressful weekend, but I'm hopeful that this week will be off to a much better start. Since there were so many stressful things happening, I found comfort in getting to curl up with some great books, and today I'm looking forward to reviewing one of these books with you that releases tomorrow!

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you've all had a great week, and that you're all looking forward to the weekend. My husband and I are planning to continue working on the remodel of our home library, and I'm very excited to get it closer to being done. For today's post, I'm excited to once again be linking up with Hoarding Books for another edition of First Line Friday. For anyone unfamiliar, First Line Friday is a fun, weekly meme that simply consists of sharing the first line from the book you're currently reading. During all these days of self isolation, I've been trying to read some of the books I've had on my TBR for quite sometime, and it's one of those titles I'm going to be sharing today.

Hello Everyone :) I hope you're all doing well, and I want to thank you for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess. I've been spending a lot of time lately on the remodel of our home library, but I've been trying to still make lots of time for reading fantastic books. For quite a few years, Wanda E. Brunstetter has been a favorite author of mine, and I was excited to learn that her publishing house is re releasing her very first published novels in a gorgeous new bindup.  I was pleasantly surprised to get to have the opportunity to review these three new to me stories, and today I'm looking forward to sharing with you all what I ended up thinking about them A Heartwarming Romance Collection by Wanda E.

Hello Bookish Friends :) I hope you're all doing well, and I want to thank you for joining me  here on The Preppy Book Princess. I've been seeing the Mid Year Freak Out Tag pop on up the bookternet at this time of year ever since I first started blogging. However, I've actually never participated in it before, and I decided that this was the year I needed to go ahead and change that. What is the best book that you've read so far in 2020? Nicole Deese is a fantastic storyteller, and I'm still thinking about this heartwrenching story months after finishing it. I loved Joshua and Lauren's romance, and the light that is shone on adoption, and families being more than just blood. I have a feeling this may end up being my favorite book of the entire year. What has been your favorite sequel of the first half of the year? I adored this one, and ended up loving it just as much as I did the first book in the series. I can't wait to read Grace's story later this ye

Happy Friday Friends :) I pray that this week finds you all in good health, and that you've been able to have some time to spend with friends and family. My hubby and I are currently in the process of remodeling one of the rooms in our house, and we've been spending most of our spare time working on this huge project. I'm excited to see what it's going to look like once we get it all finished. For today's post, I'm excited to once again be linking up with Hoarding Books for another edition of First Line Friday. This fun, weekly blog meme simply consists of sharing the first line from the book you're currently reading. I actually have quite a few different books on the go right now, as I have a few different review books I'm trying to get finished, and am also reading a couple off my bookshelves. However, for today's post, I decided to go with one of the NetGalley books I'm currently reading that's going to be released in less than two weeks,

How are you all doing today? It's been rainy and gloomy here the last couple of days, and those are honestly my very favorite days. Because of this, my hubby and I have decided to work on redoing our home library, and there is currently books stacked everywhere throughout my house. I'm excited to see what it's going to look like when we get it all done, but in the meantime, I'm looking forward to sharing with you a new review for a fun, middle grade read that I recently finished.  Thomas Wildus and the Book of Sorrows by J.M.

Good Morning Everyone :) I hope your week is off to a great start, and that you all had a fantastic weekend. Mine was definitely up and down, but I started a couple of new devotionals through Youversion that I'm loving, and I also got to spend a lot of time with my hubby. Another thing that definitely made the weekend better was getting to curl up with some more amazing reads, as there's very few things I enjoy more than that. Today I'd like to share my review with you all of a fairly recently released Christian historical fiction title. What Momma Left Behind by Cindy K.

Happy Friday Everyone! I hope you all had a great week, and that you're looking forward to the weekend. This week has definitely brought with it some blessings, as my hubby and I were able to visit his parent's for the first time this week since back at the end of February. Certain restrictions have been lifted in our province, and I was grateful for the opportunity to get to visit my in laws again. Aside from that, I've also been reading some really amazing Christian fiction titles, and it's been a nice break away from a lot of things that have been going on. Today I'm once again excited to be liking up with Hoarding Books for another edition of First Line Friday. First Line Friday is one of my favorite weekly memes, and it simply consists of sharing the first line of the book you're currently reading.

Hello Friends :) I hope you're all doing well, and I want to thank you all for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess. Ever since I read the first book in the Alaskan Courage series many years back, Dani Pettrey has become one of my all time favorite authors. I've read everything she's ever written, and her upcoming release was another title featured in my Most Anticipated 2020 Releases Post. I ended up getting through this one pretty quick as I was super invested in the story, and now I'm looking forward to sharing with you all what I ended up thinking about it.

Happy Monday Everyone :) I hope you all had a fantastic weekend, and I want to thank you all for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess. I've been book blogging for almost five years now, and bookstagramming for four. During those years, I've had many amazing experiences, and I've come to love a lot of different things about being apart of these awesome communities. However, I think that my favorite part of it all is getting to discover amazing authors and amazing stories that I may not have ever known about if I wasn't a part of the bookish community.  For today's review, I'm looking forward to sharing with you all one of these books and corresponding authors that I had the pleasure of connecting with on Instagram, and I can't wait to share with you all about this beautifully written story. Painted Vessels by Gina Renee Freitag: Source: Complimentary Copy Provided by the Author Publication Date: June 9th. 2020 Genre: Christian F

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you've all had a great week, and that you're looking forward to the weekend. Today I'm excited to once again be linking up with Hoarding Books for First Line Friday. First Line Friday is one of my favorite weekly memes, and it simply consists of sharing the first line of the book you're currently reading. I've had a lot of extra reading time on my hands lately because of all the social distancing, and as such, I've been able to read a lot of the titles that have been sitting on my shelves for quite some time. Today's book is one of such titles, and I'm happy that I finally found the time to get to it as I'm really enjoying it so far. All's Fair in Love and Cupcakes by Betsy St. Amant: About the Book: Kat inspected rows of the same old cupcakes. They seemed to blink back at her, as if they knew she was capable of so much more.
