Active Defense by Lynette Eason Review

  Hello Friends :) I hope you've all been doing well, and I want to thank you all for taking the time to join me today here on The Preppy Book Princess. It seems in this insanely dark world that sometimes making a difference is daunting. My prayer for my blog is that it would bring happiness and joy to even one person reading it, and showcase that there are still clean and faith based reads out there to enjoy. Even when it sometimes seems impossible to find them with the content being included in the media nowadays. Today I've got a review for you all of a recently released Christian suspense title that literally had me on the edge of my seat for the entire story. This particular book is book three in the series and you can find my reviews of the first two books in the series below: Collateral Damage Acceptable Risk Now let's jump right into today's review.

Since You've Been Gone by Tari Faris Review

  Happy Thursday Friends :) I'm actually here a day early to share with you my most recent book review, as I have some fun plans for the next couple of days that would make posting a little more difficult. I'm actually going to the city with my family for a couple of days, and I'm especially looking forward to getting to go swimming with my nephews. We will be leaving here in a couple of hours, but before I left I wanted to share one more book review with you all.

Promises Unbroken by Kristina Hall Review

  Happy Friday Friends :) I hope you're all having a great day, and I hope you're all looking forward to the weekend. A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of reading a historical novel by the lovely Kristina Hall, and I was completely blown away by the beautiful story and the heavy faith element that's been missing from so many Christian fiction titles as of late.

The Mistletoe Countess by Pepper D. Basham Review

Happy Monday Friends :) I hope you all had a great weekend, and that you're looking forward to the week ahead. I actually ended up spending the majority of my weekend in my house as we're going through another heatwave, and I just didn't feel like dealing with it. Because of this, I was actually able to finish 3 books over the course of the weekend, and today I'm excited to share my review of one of those books with you all. It may seem funny to have been reading a Christmas book during a heatwave, but it worked for me, and I'm here to tell you all about it. The Mistletoe Countess by Pepper D.

Home Song by Thomas Kinkade and Katherine Spencer Review

  Hello Friends :) Thank you all for finding your way over to The Preppy Book Princess this morning. Are you someone who enjoys rereading? I adore getting to reread books, and yet my reviewing schedule has been so full lately that I haven't had a lot of time to do so. One of the series I've been really wanting to reread is the Cape Light series by Thomas Kinkade and Katherine Spencer, and a few months ago I finally had the chance to reread the first book. After that I got too busy with reviewing to continue on, but a couple of months I finally had the chance to sit down and gobble up the second book. Since the first time I read this book I wasn't book reviewing yet, I knew this time around that I wanted to try and review at least some of the earlier titles in this series.

Undercurrent of Secrets by Rachel Scott McDaniel Review

Happy Wednesday Friends :) I pray 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. Today has already been a really awful day for me, and not going to lie, I've spent a large portion of it in tears. However, as easy as it is to focus on the bad, I really don't want to do so, and instead, I want to focus on sharing a new book review with you all of a title from a series that is quickly becoming a favorite for me. That series is the multi author Doors to the Past series, and today I'm excited to share my review of the upcoming fourth book. Keep reading to see what I thought of this upcoming release.

The Nature of Small Birds by Susie Finkbeiner Review

A couple of years ago, I had the pleasure of reading my first Susie Finkbeiner novel, All Manner of Things (review here ), and really enjoyed it.

The Heart of Splendid Lake by Amy Clipston Review

  Happy Friday Friends :) I hope this week has found you well, and that you're all looking forward to the weekend. I apologize for my absence this week. I ended up spending five nights at the lake with my family, and while I had still planned on posting on my blog, the weak and spotty Wi-Fi made that a no go. However, it was really nice to get to disconnect for a few days, and spend some time with my family. I  had so much fun with my nephew, my mom, my stepdad, and enjoyed the short visits we were able to have with some of my other family as well. While we were on vacation, I ended up getting a chance to read Amy Clipston's upcoming contemporary novel, and I couldn't wait to share with you all what I ended up thinking about it.
