Something Old, Something New by Jane Orcutt 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.

Last year, I ended up stumbling upon the multi author Tales From Grace Chapel Inn series, and I've been enjoying working my way through the many titles within this series ever since.

Publication Date: December 8th, 2005

(synopsis from goodreads)




My Review:

I always look forward to picking up a new to me title in the multi author Tales From Grace Chapel Inn series, and I was especially looking forward to reading my first ever title by the late Jane Orcutt. This was definitely another wonderful story full of all the warm fuzzies and heartwarming moments that this series is known for. It was the perfect book to curl up with on a cold winter's night, and was lovely to get to check back in with the three Howard sisters and the slightly eclectic townspeople of Acorn Hill.

I will say, however, that while I did enjoy this story overall, it wasn't my personal favorite of the series so far. I wasn't the biggest fan of either the genealogy or the wedding storylines, but I did wholeheartedly enjoy the visiting author, and all the chaos that comes along with her. 

I appreciate that these titles can really be read in any order, and I also appreciate how romance isn't really the focus, and instead it's on faith, family and friendship.

Final Rating: 4/5.

I'm looking forward to continuing on with more titles in the series, and I'd highly recommend this series for anyone who is a fan of small town faith based series.


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...

First Line Friday: The Joy of Falling

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. This week, Lindsay Harrel's newest book released, and I loved it when I had the chance to read and review it. 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. The Joy of Falling by Lindsay Harrel: About The Book: Eva and Angela must learn to live again. One step at a time. It has been fifteen months since Eva and Angela lost their thrill-seeking husbands in a scuba diving accident. Both women are trying to navigate their way through the grief, but neither one is making much progress. Angela is barely making ends meet, angry at her husband for leaving her to raise three children on her own. Meanwhile, Eva is stuck, unable to move forward after losing the love of her life and her source of inspiration. But then Eva gets a life-changing phone call. Befor...
