Autumn Skies by Denise Hunter Review

  Happy Tuesday Everyone :) It's October 20th and that means it's officially time for the book I'm going to be reviewing with you all today to release. That's especially exciting cause usually when I post my reviews, you all have to wait at least a few days before you can go and grab it for yourselves, but this one is officially available right now for you all to go on and pick up.

Scripture of the Week: October 15th, 2020

  Blessings Friends :) I haven't been around on here as much lately, and that's because the last few weeks have been really rough. I've been fighting a mental spiritual warfare battle that a lot of days has left me drained, and then in the midst of it I ended up being hospitalized, eventually needing an appendectomy. After the surgery, my body wasn't able to digest food or drink properly, and I ended up back in the emergency room twice in order to get nutrients through an IV. It's probably not surprising that I've been feeling pretty down and depressed through everything lately, and sometimes the spiritual battle seemed like too much for me to possibly press through. However, I've firmly been told in my prayers that there will be an end to this battle in sight, and if I'm being completely honest, this battle has made me take the necessary steps to reevaluating how I've been living my life. When you're dealing with such scary circumstances, it rea

Something Worth Doing by Jane Kirkpatrick Review

  Hello Friends :) I pray today finds you all well, and I want to thank you all for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess. Some of you may have noticed that my last few reviews lean more towards the negative. I don't like being a negative person as the norm, but I've been really struggling lately with the kind of content that's being published, even under respected well known Christian publishers. I've been shying away lately from most secular fiction titles as I personally find the content to be heartbreaking and disturbing; especially considering how much of it is being "distorted" and finding its way into children's and young adult titles. I feel as a Christian reviewer I've been slacking. I've gone through over five years of reviewing on this blog, and I haven't always had my standards as high as they should have been. As Christians we are called to stand for more than going along with society's messed up i

The Key to Love by Betsy St. Amant Review

  Hello Friends :) and Happy Thanksgiving To All My Fellow Canadians Thanksgiving looked a little different this year. Obviously Covid 19 affected everyone's get togethers, and also for me recovering from surgery, it went a little differently than the norm. However it was still so nice to get to visit with at least a small amount of my family, and I also had the chance to finish reading the book I'm going to talk about with you all today. The Key to Love by Betsy St. Amant: Source: Publisher via NetGalley Publisher: Revell Publication Date: October 13th, 2020 Genre: Christian Fiction/Contemporary Synopsis: The only thing Bri Duval loves more than baking petit fours is romance. So much so, she's created her own version of the famous Parisian lovelock wall at her bakery in Story, Kansas. She never expects it to go viral--or for Trek Magazine to send travel writer Gerard Fortier to feature the bakery. He's definitely handsome, but Bri has been holding out for a love story

Rescued by the Hero by Mandi Blake Review

  Good Morning Friends :) I was actually hoping to have had this review out for all of you yesterday, but alas, I had more complications with recovery from my surgery and ended up spending six hours in emergency last night, and not making it home until almost one in the morning. Unfortunately, I still can't know for certain when my blog is going to be back to normal updates, but I do have a new review for you all today from one of my all time favorite authors. If you've been reading my blog for awhile, then you're probably familiar with Mandi Blake and her beautiful, faith based romance reads. Today, I'm excited to share with you all about her upcoming release. Rescued by the Hero by Mandi Blake: Source: Complimentary Copy Provided by the Author Publication Date: October 7th, 2020 Genre: Christian Fiction/Sweet Romance Series: Heroes of Freedom Ridge Synopsis: The hardest part about this fake relationship is hiding it from her brother. Especially when it doesn't fee

Everywhere to Hide by Siri Mitchell Review

Hello Friends :) It's been a very, very long time since my last post, and for that I have to apologize. Unfortunately, I've had a very challenging few weeks, and I have yet to figure out when I'm going to be able to get my blog back to it's regular uploading schedule.   I'd talked a bit before about the spiritual warfare battle I've been fighting, then my hubby and I ended up taking a vacation for part of September, and less then a week after we returned home I ended up hospitalized for almost a week. I've been dealing with a weird pain in my side on and off for 22 years now, and have had so many doctors over the years think my appendix needs to come out. After this particular flare up, a surgeon finally did an exploratory surgery and now 22 years later, my appendix has finally been removed and the pain has disappeared. Unfortunately, the surgery was kind of rough, and the recovery has not been easy. I ended up back in the emergency room last night as my sto
