Exciting Announcements For The Christmas Season :)

Happy Monday Guys!

I literally just had one of the greatest weekends I can remember in a long time. I've decided to try and and be a lot more positive than I've been recently, as being down and depressed is definitely not how I like myself to be. Sometimes life deals us hard circumstances, but I'm definitely trying to turn a new leaf with how I handle them.

This weekend my hubby and I got a jump start on our Christmas shopping, we enjoyed some quality time just watching movies, and yesterday, my dad and brothers came over to help us trim some trees that have been scraping against our roof in windstorms. We finished off the weekend with pizza and games night with my parents and siblings, and it was one of the best times I've had in a long time.

I'm definitely enjoying getting to be in the holiday spirit, and that brings me to the purpose of today's post, which is making a couple of exciting announcements about my blog for the holiday season.

1) First, I'm participating in the Broke and The Bookish's Secret Santa exchange for the first time ever, and I couldn't be more excited. I will be posting updates on my blog as I purchase and wrap goodies for my secret Santa, and I can't wait to reveal myself to her. 


Unfortunately, the deadline for this year's signup has already passed, but if you're interested in learning about if for next year, you can find out more here


2) And secondly, I've decided to try and commit to doing Blogmas this year! Blogmas means posting on your blog everyday from December 1st until December 25th, and I'm really wanting to try as hard as I can to succeed at this. I look forward to sharing some day in the life posts, bookish gift guides, wish lists, Outfit of the day posts, maybe some recipe posts, and definitely some posts talking about my favorite holiday reads!


If you guys are participating in either the #TBTBSecretSanta or Blogmas, please let me know as I'd love to follow your blogs!


You can also follow me on Twitter or Instagram to see what else I get up to this holiday season, I'm @PreppyBookQueen on both!


Thanks so much for reading guys, and I'm so excited to celebrate the Christmas season with the blogging community. :)

First Line Friday: Courting Mr. Emerson

Happy Friday Everyone :) Since it is Friday, I'll once again be participating in First Line Friday which is hosted by Hoarding Books .  For this week, I'm going to be sharing the first line from Melody Carlson's newest book, Courting Mr. Emerson. About The Book: When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause--and finds herself falling for him in the process. A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often. He's not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them. But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The quest...

First Line Friday: The Inheritance

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you're all had a great week and that you're staying safe no matter where you are. I haven't been leaving my house much lately other than for work, and because of this, I've had lots of reading time on my hands. Last year my hubby and I took a road trip that included a visit to our favorite bookstore, and we decided to each pick a book that wouldn't be our first choice. The purpose was to try and read something that still interested us, but would maybe be a bit different than what we would typically go for first. My pick ended up being The Inheritance by Michael Phillips, a book I actually ended up being quite excited about, despite never having heard of it prior. Unfortunately, it ended up sitting on my bookshelf ever since, and I'm so thankful I finally got the opportunity to pick it up and start reading it this past week. The Inheritance by Michael Phillips: About the Book: The death of the clan patriarch h...

First Line Friday: Remembering the Cowboy by Mandi Blake

Happy Friday Friends :) There's so many reasons I'm excited that it's once again Friday. I'm excited to be taking part in another edition of First Line Friday hosted by Hoarding Books , but I'm also excited to be featuring one of my favorite author's new releases for this week's edition. First Line Friday simply consists of sharing the first line from the book you're currently reading, and today I'm going to be sharing from Mandi Blake's new book, which released last week. Remembering the Cowboy by Mandi Blake: About the Book: They have unfinished business. She just can’t remember what it is. Camille Vanderbilt is headed back home to Wyoming with one goal: find her old best friend and give him a piece of her mind for ghosting her six years ago. She won’t let anyone stand in her way… until a deer runs into the road and causes her to wreck and forget almost everything. Noah Harding lives a simple life as a firefighter and rancher until Camille cras...
