Passages of Hope by Terri J. Haynes Review

I'll Be Home for Mischief by Jacqueline Frost Review

  Happy Friday Sweet Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you've chosen to stop on by The Preppy Book Princess today for another book review. I'm Kirby, and I'm always happy to welcome you to my little bookish corner of the internet. Are you someone who enjoys Christmas books? And if so, is there a particular time of the year you stick to reading them? I adore Christmas books, and will honestly find myself picking them up all throughout the year. However, there's something extra special about picking them up in the months leading up to Christmas, and it's crazy to think that as of today, there's only two months until Christmas Day! It seemed like the perfect day to share another Christmas book review with you all, but before I dive into that, if you'd like to check out my reviews of previous titles in this Christmas themed cozy mystery series, you can do so using the links below: Twelve Slays of Christmas Twas' the Kn

Eyes on Me by Rachel Harris Review

  Hello Bookish Lovelies :) 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. Currently, I mainly read Christian fiction, however there's still a few secular genres I enjoy, and you will still see those reviews pop up sporadically on my blog. However, I do want to go ahead and mention today that as a Christian, I still feel it's my duty to mention the content included in even the non-Christian titles I read. I feel convicted to do so, and yes I realize that secular titles aren't going to be like Christian titles, but I do still feel it's important to highlight the content levels for readers to know if it's a title they'd feel comfortable reading or not. Rachel Harris is an author I've read several books from over the years, and I actually had the wonderful opportunity to meet her back in April of 2

In This Moment by Gabrielle Meyer Review

If you know me, you know I've long loved reading time travel books, and I'm so thankful that some of these are finally finding their way into the Christian fiction market.  You can check out the review of that book using the link below: When the Day Comes I loved it so much, and I ended up including the second book on my " 2023 list of my most anticipated releases " post.

Tempest in a Teapot by Judy Baer Review

  Good Morning Everyone :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you decided to take the time to drop by The Preppy Book Princess for another book review today. I'm Kirby, and I'm excited to welcome you to my little corner of the internet. A couple of years ago, I stumbled upon the multi author Tales From Grace Chapel Inn series, and ever since, I've been trying to work my way through as many of the titles as I can find. It's a slightly older series, so my library hasn't had every title available, but I have had the opportunity to read quite a few so far. If you're interested in checking out those reviews, you can find them all under the Tales From Grace Chapel Inn label at the bottom of this post. Otherwise, I hope you'll all keep on reading down below for my review of the most recent title I had the opportunity to finish.

Up to No Gouda by Linda Reilly Review

  Good Morning Bookish Lovelies :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you chose to stop by The Preppy Book Princess for another book review here today.
