Winter Wonders by Melody Carlson 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.

When I last posted on here, it was right before the long weekend, and I had planned to post again on Thanksgiving Monday. Unfortunately, Saturday night ended up going in a direction I never could have expected, and I ended up having family member rushed to the emergency room. Thank goodness they are home now, but these past few days have been extremely rough, and it definitely wasn't the Thanksgiving we were expecting.

Now that things have calmed down at least a teensy bit, I thought I'd jump back on here with a book review for you all today.

I personally love discovering new to me series that become instant favorites. I especially enjoy when the series has many titles in it, as it gives me plenty of reading material to look forward to.

A couple of years ago, I had the pleasure of discovering kind of by accident the wonderful multi authors series, Tales From Grace Chapel Inn, and ever since, I've been enjoying working my way through the heartwarming titles in this series.

I've read and reviewed a few of these titles already on my blog, and you can check those out using the links below:

Now I hope you'll all keep reading on down below where I'll be sharing my review of another lovely title in this series.

My Review:

I always look forward to getting to visit the idyllic Grace Chapel Inn and the three sisters that call it home. While I wouldn't say this was my favorite of the series so far, it was still an excellent story that gave off all the cozy vibes, and illustrated how important faith truly is, no matter what anyone of us are personally going through.

I loved that this particular story takes place during the winter months, and showcases to readers what happens when unexpected guests end up descending on the beloved inn. The story also takes a bit of a deeper plot twist in this one, when the middle sister Alice inadvertently gets involved in protesting the animal abuse taking place at the local dog racing track.

With a well written plot, just the right amount of tension and drama, and a showcase once again of how the town comes together for both fun events and important causes, Melody Carlson has written another beautiful edition to the Tales From Grace Chapel Inn series.

Final Rating: 4/5.

Thanks so much for reading guys! Have a great rest of your day :)

Announcing My Temporary Hiatus From Book Blogging

Hello all my sweet bookish lovelies :) I pray you all had a lovely Christmas, and are looking forward to having a wonderful New Year's as well. I've shared a little bit of info over the past few months on my blog about why I wasn't around as often, but now it's time to share with you all exactly what that is. My hubby and I found out we were expecting earlier this year, and we had the immense pleasure of welcoming our precious baby boy into the world this month. Because of this, I've decided to take a temporary step back from book blogging and reviewing, while I adjust to being a first time mom to a newborn. I will definitely be back blogging in some form or another, but not sure at this point exactly when that will be as my little man deserves all of his mommy's attention right now. I thank you guys all for being a part of another wonderful year here on The Preppy Book Princess, and I look forward to jumping back into the Christian book community sometime in ...

A Refuge in Montana by Allie Pleiter Review

Happy Monday My Sweet Bookish Friends :) It's been awhile, how have you all been doing? Originally, I had hoped to be back doing at least semi regular book reviews by now, and since I had an author offer me an ARC copy right around when I wanted to start trying again, I figured I'd give it a go. Unfortunately, I've been dealing with some health complications post partum (which I really don't want to go into at the moment), and my energy is just not where it needs to be at this point. I'm excited to get to share this review with you all as I did enjoy the title and would love to tell you more about it, but this will be my only review for awhile, at least until we can get everything figured out with my health. With that being said, let's dive right into today's review, but first if you'd like to check out my reviews of the previous titles in the series, you can do so using the links below: Rescue on the Farm A Montana Sized Secret Otherwise, keep on read...

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you've all had a great week, and that you've had time to curl up with some great books.

I'm excited to feature it for this week's First Line Friday post which is hosted by the lovely ladies over at Hoarding Books.
