The Preppy Book Princess

  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. I'll be the first to admit that I have a lot of favorite authors. There's just too many whose books I love to choose only a couple of names when I'm asked that question.  One of the names on my list of favorite authors though is always Melissa Tagg. Since contemporaries are my favorite stories, it's probably not surprising that she's one of my favorites. I'd actually never gotten around to reading her Christmas novellas (shocking I know!), and since I've been in the mood for Christmas reads lately, hers seemed like a perfect choice. Not surprisingly, I ended up loving this quirky but sweet contemporary story, and today I can't wait to share with you all what I ended up thinking about it.

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. Do any of you guys love discovering new self published titles on Amazon? I have a really bad habit of constantly looking up books on there, and adding so many new titles to my wish list and tbr list. Once in awhile, I try and go back and actually purchase some of the never ending titles I've added to those lists, and quite often I really end up enjoying them. Today I'd like to share with you all my review for one of my most recently purchased Amazon titles. Love at First Fight by Maggie Dallen: Source: Bought for Myself Publication Date: January 13th, 2019 Genre: Young Adult Fiction/Young Adult Contemporary Series: Geeks Gone Wild Synopsis: Band Geek vs Quarterback...

Happy Wednesday 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. Our area has been experiencing another cold spell the last few days, and while today is supposed to be a wee bit warmer, tomorrow we're supposed to be right back to receiving snow. I've been very thankful for amazing books to curl up with during all these cold temperatures and times of social distancing, and today I'm here to share my review of a Christian suspense novel that I recently finished, and I think you're all really going to end up enjoying this one.

Good Morning Friends :) I hope your week is off to a great start, and I want to thank you all for joining me (Kirby) here on The Preppy Book Princess for another book review. I've found the last few days to be especially hard. I mentioned in my last post that our government has added further restrictions that we are not allowed to visit with other households outside our own, and I've been struggling a little bit with loneliness. My hubby has been working a lot of extra hours, and I've been spending a lot of time by myself which can get to be a bit too much somedays. I appreciate having some quiet time to myself to spend more time with Jesus, but it still starts to feel lonely somedays. Other than spending time with Jesus, I've been finding a lot of comfort in cooking, and baking, as I love doing both and my kitchen is always one of my favorite places to be. I've also been trying to go to my favorite park at least once a day to take a walk on one of the beautiful wal

  Happy Friday Everyone :) I'm so thankful you all decided to join me today on The Preppy Book Princess, and I'm excited to share with you all about an awesome book I recently finished. This one was truly unlike anything I'd ever read before, and I could barely bring myself to put it down. I think you're all going to end up enjoying it just as much as I did, and so let's jump right into the review. Death and a Crocodile by Lisa E. Betz: Source: Complimentary Copy Provided by the Publisher Publisher: Crosslink Publishing Publication Date: February 9th, 2021 Genre: Christian Fiction/Historical Fiction/Mystery/Suspense About the Book: Award-Winning Author Lisa Betz Pens Debut Novel Death and a Crocodile Available Now from CrossLink Publishing  “Everything I love in historical fiction―a feisty heroine, a fascinating setting, and mysterious goings-on. Betz’s story is an intriguing journey into ancient Rome, with a character facing challenges similar to our own.” --Tracy

Good Morning Friends :) How have you all been doing? Can I be honest and say that things have been a little rough lately? I find myself still struggling to let go and let God with everything that's been going on with my life lately, and all the extra stress over COVID 19 is definitely not helping.  Yesterday our province announced further restrictions, and we are now no longer able to visit anyone outside of our own household. I can honestly handle any of the other restrictions, but I really struggle when I'm not able to visit my family. It's sometimes really hard to stay encouraged with the current state of our world, but I'm trying my best.   I'm trying as much as possible to prioritize time with Jesus, and He's been showcasing to me a lot of things that I needed to change within my heart and my life.  One of those things (as you'll know if you've been reading my blog recently) was that I needed to do a much closer examination of the type of medias I w

  Guys, it's Monday, and it's an extra special Monday cause I get to share my review for an upcoming title by one of my all time favorite authors! If you've been reading my blog for awhile, then you'd probably already know how much I adore Mandi Blake's books, and how blessed I consider myself to be able to call her a friend. I always look forward to her new book releases, and this particular release was especially exciting. If you'd like to read my reviews of the previous books in Mandi's Blackwater Ranch series before diving into this one, go ahead and check out the links below: Remembering the Cowboy Charmed by the Cowboy Mistaking the Cowboy Protecting the Cowboy Keeping the Cowboy by Mandi Blake: Source: Complimentary Copy Provided by the Author Publication Date: April 17th, 2021 Genre: Christian Fiction/Sweet Romance Series: Blackwater Ranch Synopsis: When her dreams become a reality, will she be able to leave the family she’s come to love?

Happy Friday friends :) Do you all have any fun plans for the weekend? We're supposed to have some pretty yucky weather this weekend, with both snow and strong winds in the forecast, so I'm pretty much planning to read, clean and bake. It's been a little while since I last shared a non-fiction review with you all, and I'm especially excited to share about today's title. I honestly think this book has the potential to help so many the way it did me, and I hope you'll all take the time to look into this one.

  Hello Friends :) Thank you for taking the time today to stop by The Preppy Book Princess for another book review. I'm so glad you decided to join me. :) Did you all have a great holiday weekend? Ours was pretty quiet, but that was okay as we were able to spend more time reflecting on what Easter truly means, and how it's more important than ever to put our trust in Jesus and never this world. In keeping with my quest to try new to me Christian fiction authors this year, I'm happy to report that I finally got the chance to read a Kristi Ann Hunter book, and today I'm going to tell you all what I thought about it. Have you read this author before? If so I'd love to hear in the comments what your favorite book by her is.

  Hello Friends :) I hope you're all doing well, and I want to thank you all for joining me today on The Preppy Book Princess. It's Good Friday today, and my prayer for you all today is that you would all take a moment to reflect on what Jesus' sacrifice truly means for us all. May the Lord work in amazing ways in your life over this Easter weekend. :) A couple of weeks ago, I had shared with you all a review  of a cozy mystery set on the beautiful Mackinac Island. I also talked quite a bit of how I've come to be slightly fascinated by this island lately, and I've discovered a few books all set there.  Today I'm excited to share with you the second of my reviews of the books set on Mackinac Island. I hope to have a few more of these reviews to share with you in the upcoming weeks, if time permits. Let's jump into today's. Deadly Secrets on Mackinac Island by Cara C.
