Love Finds You in Paradise, Pennsylvania by Loree Lough Review

  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. Have any of you guys read any of the titles from the multi author Love Finds You series? I haven't had the opportunity to read a ton of them, but I've really enjoyed all the ones I have. I often find these harder to get my hands on nowadays, and I'm always excited when I stumble upon one of them at my used bookstore, the library or on the Libby app. You can check out all the reviews of the ones I've read and reviewed previously using the links below: Love Finds You in Mackinac Island, Michigan by Melanie Dobson Love Finds You in Frost, Minnesota by Judy Baer Today's review is one I'm excited to share with you all because on top of it being another title from this beloved series, it's also an Amish fiction title which are always some of my favorites.

Bless Your Heart, Rae Sutton by Susannah B. Lewis Review

  Good Morning Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and that your week is off to a great start. Mine started out a little earlier than I planned, as neither of my cat's wanted to let me sleep, but that's okay, as it just means I have more time to get my list of things done for today. One of the first items on that list is to tell you all about a new book that I just finished that's releasing at the beginning of May. I'm really looking forward to today's review, as this book was really unlike anything I'd ever read before, and I can't wait to tell you all about it. Keep reading below for my full review.

Knit or Dye Trying by Allie Pleiter Review

  Happy Friday Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I want to thank you all for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess. Do you have any fun plans for this weekend? I'm going to be working quite a bit of it, but I also hope to get some more cleaning done around my house, play a board game with my husband, and curl up with some really great books. If you've been reading my blog for awhile, then you'd probably know that Allie Pleiter is one of my all time favorite Love Inspired authors. So when I heard that she was writing a cozy mystery series, I couldn't have been more excited. However, when I read the first book, it wasn't quite what I was expecting. Still enjoyable, but not a new favorite. You can check out that review below: On Skein of Death. However, I really did enjoy a lot of the characters and the setting, so I was looking forward to giving another one of the titles in the series a try. Keep reading below to see w

The Heart's Charge by Karen Witemeyer Review

  Hello Friends :) I hope you're all doing well, and I want to thank you all for making your way over to The Preppy Book Princess for another book review. What are you currently reading? Are you the type of reader that only reads one book at a time, or are you the type, like me, who often has multiple books going at once?

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett Review

  Hello Everyone :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I want to thank you all for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess. I've been mentioning quite a bit on my blog the last year that I'm kind of burned out on a lot of the newer releases. I barely touch new secular fiction anymore, as honestly the content is slightly appalling, and many new Christian fiction titles have disappointed me with the amount of unnecessary content being included within those as well. I've really been craving some good ole fashioned books, when the world was a much simpler place, and fiction was definitely cleaner, and as such, I've been enjoying working my way through some of the children's classics, most of which I'd read before but have really been enjoying getting to reread. Today I'm excited to share my review of one of these titles with you all. The Secret Garden by Frances  Hodgson Burnett: Source: Bought for Myself Publisher: Penguin Gr

A Rose for the Resistance by Angela K. Couch Review

  Happy Friday Friends :) I pray your weekend is off to a great start, and I want to thank you all for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess. I'm excited to move past the events of this week, and I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing of things at work, at home, and here on my blog. If you've been reading my blog for awhile, then you probably are well aware that I love World War II fiction. It's one of my all time favorite historical fiction eras, and I've lost count of just how many books I've read set during this time over the years. However, I have to be honest that the last little while I've ended up reading quite a few I didn't enjoy. I was desperately searching for another great title within this genre, and I was hopeful that today's book might be it.

The Spark of Love by Amanda Cabot Review

  Happy Monday 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. This week is a really tough one for me. I don't want to go into details, as I'm not comfortable doing so, but it's definitely a week that has me anxious, and needing to lean into Jesus more than ever. I'm not sure how my blog posts are going to go for the rest of the week because of everything going on, so I wanted to make sure that I got this one out for all you guys today. Last year, I finally read my first Amanda Cabot novel, and I instantly fell in love with her writing.  The book I ended up reading was the second in a series, and I immediately went back and read the first. I've been anxiously awaiting the release of the third book ever since, and it's finally here! If you'd like to check out my reviews of the first two books, you can check out the links below: Out of the Embers Dreams Rekindled

Fled for Refuge by Kristina Hall Review

  Happy Wednesday Everyone :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I want to thank you for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess. Has spring started to make its way into your area? Where I live it's still freezing outside, and we've had quite a bit of snow over the last few days. I've also had quite a rough couple of weeks, as a lot has been going on, and honestly, curling up with great books under a warm and comfy blanket has become my go to way of destressing after a long day. In the past year, I've read and loved several of Kristina Hall's books, and I was really looking forward to diving into her newest release.

The Summer Before by Ann M. Martin Review

  Hello Friends :) I hope you're all having a great week, and I want to thank you all for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess. Today's review is a super nostalgic one for me, and I'm guessing it probably will be for a lot of you too. I grew up first loving the Baby Sitters Little Sister series before moving on to The Babysitters Club series, and words cannot express how much I loved loved loved these books and characters. I personally cannot stand the newish Netflix show, but I loved the older TV show and the movie.  When I heard that Ann M. Martin had written a prequel novella to this much beloved series, I couldn't wait to dive into it, I can't believe it took me this many years to find out about it. After finishing it,  I can't wait to share with you all what I ended up thinking about it. The Summer Before by Ann M.

Sustaining Faith by Janette Oke and Laurel Oke Logan Review

  Hello Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I want to thank you all for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess. I've been a little more quiet than usual on social media the last couple of weeks, and that's mainly because my family has been going through a lot. I've been trying to stay focused on Him throughout everything, and have needed just a little step away from all of my socials. Other than bible study, prayer and praise and worship, one of my favorite ways to stay motivated through darker times is to read Christian fiction books. I love reading about characters going through a journey of faith, and I'm excited to share today's review with you all. For today's review, I'm going to be sharing all about Janette Oke and Laurel Oke Logan's most recent release. Janette Oke is such a nostalgic author for me, as she was literally one of the first authors I started reading when I first starting picking up adult
