Hosting My First Book Club Meeting

Happy Wednesday Guys, 

I'm Kirby, and welcome back to the Preppy Book Princess.

I wanted to do a little bit different post than normal today for all you guys.

Last weekend, I hosted my first ever book club meeting, and it was so much fun that I decided I wanted to share all about it on my blog.

My book club is definitely not the typical type, as it's just my best friend and I. For years, we were both interested in being a part of one,  but we couldn't find anyone else interested in starting one with us, so we decided to go ahead and start it with just the two of us, and it was honestly so much fun.


I spent a few hours putting together a food spread that I thought looked pretty good if I do say so myself.

The menu included: a vegetarian taco salad, a fruit salad, a veggie platter, a cracker tray, boursin cheese, garlic hummus, and artichoke and asiago cheese dip. As well, I had to find a way to throw my disney obsession in the mix so I put out my favorite wonderland teas, and served lemon water in this adorable pitcher I bought at the Disney store a few years back.





After the yummy food, it was time to jump into a discussion about the first book we chose, Once Upon A Prince by Rachel Hauck.

We both ended up saying that it was hard to put this book down at the stopping point we'd decided on ahead of time, as were both finding the story to be one that instantly pulls you in.


We talked a lot about how we love how inspirational fiction focuses on relationships with a connection other than just the physical, and also how we're both huge fans of the trope where a regular person falls in love with a famous or royal person, so this book is probably going to be perfect for the two of us.

I honestly can't wait to go ahead and finish this one, and have our next get together to discuss what we both thought about it!

I thank you guys so much for reading, and I can't wait to talk to you all about more bookish content soon :)

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...

Noah Harding lives a simple life as a firefighter and rancher until Camille cras...
