Earthbound by Aprilynne Pike Review

  Hello Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you took the time to join me here today on The Preppy Book Princess. Over the last few months, I've been trying to work my way through the many piles of unread books in my home library. If I feel something seems inappropriate or perhaps even blasphemous to my faith, it'll be discarded, but the rest I've been trying to finally make a dent in. Unfortunately, today's review comes from one of these titles that ended up being a pretty disappointing experience. I'll be sharing my full review down below, but I will say ahead of time that I do not recommend picking this one up if you're also a Christian reader who is trying to find clean titles that don't contain inappropriate content. Keep reading down below for my full review.

Silk by E.B. Roshan Review

  Happy Wednesday Sweet Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you've taken the time to drop on by The Preppy Book Princess today for another book review. I'm Kirby, and I'm so happy you're here! I enjoy getting to read fiction as a way to destress from some of the stressors of everyday life, and I started my little ole blog back in September of 2015 to share about the many titles I devour with you all. However, I think today's post might be a first for The Preppy Book Princess (if I'm not mistaken), and I think this is actually the first time I've ever posted a graphic novel review on my blog. I hope you'll all keep reading down below to find out what I ended up thinking about it. Silk by E.B.

The Golden Road by L.M. Montgomery Review

  Hello Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you decided to drop by my little corner of the internet. I'm Kirby, and this is my bookish world, where I get to share all about the wonderful and not so wonderful books I've been reading as of late. A little awhile ago, I decided to dive into reading more of L.M. Montgomery's books, as the Anne of Green Gables series has always been a favorite, and yet I hadn't read too much by her outside of those. This has been such a fun journey, and I'm honestly loving getting to visit more of her beautiful writing.

Finding You by Amy Clipston Review

  Happy Monday Sweet Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you've taken the time to drop on by The Preppy Book Princess today for another book review. In the midst of all the craziness and chaos in our daily lives, I love getting to take a step back and immerse myself in fictional worlds, and then spend some time getting to share all about these wonderful stories with you all. I especially love when fiction is clean, and honors our Heavenly Father. I've been reading Amy Clipston's books for a lot of years, and I always look forward to her new releases. If I'm being honest, there are certain parts of being a book blogger that can start to feel a little tedious and frustrating at times, but one thing that has never changed for me is how excited I still get over the opportunity to advance read and review stories by my all time favorite authors. It's such a blessing, and I'm thankful that our Heavenly Father so graciously opened a

Withering Heights by Dorothy Cannell 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. While I read across a lot of different genres, and would always pick Christian fiction as my favorite, another one I usually end up enjoying is cozy mysteries.

The Road Before Us by Janine Rosche Review

  Happy Wednesday Sweet Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you've taken the time to drop on by The Preppy Book Princess today for another book review. I'm Kirby, and I'm delighted you're here. This week I've been lucky that my hubby has been off for vacation days, and we've been enjoying getting to spend some time together doing some fun summery things. We actually just got back from a bit of a mini quick road trip, and it's kind of fun exploring your own area, and seeing the numerous things that can practically exist in your own backyard that you've never taken the time to see before. That kind of leads me into today's review, and it was definitely a fun treat to get to read and review this one for you all today. I hope you'll all keep reading down below for today's full review.
