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 :)

Della and Darby by Susannah B. Lewis Review

Happy Monday Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you decided to stop by my little corner of the internet. My husband and I actually have this week off of work for a much needed holiday, and I'm excited for the many fun things we have planned. Aside from the fun things, I'm honestly thankful to have some extra time to get my house back in shape, and to get more organized for Christmas. I also hope to have lots of time to curl up with some great reads, and I recently had a chance to read one of my most anticipated 2023 releases! Earlier in the year, I read my first novel by Susannah B. Lewis, and I couldn't have loved it more. It was definitely one of my favorite reads of this entire year, and I've been looking forward to reading her next release ever since.

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...

Top Ten Tuesday: Ten Characters I'd name a child/cat/dog/car/ etc After.

Happy Tuesday guys! I enjoyed Top Ten Tuesday so much last week, that I decided to go ahead and take part again this week. Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and The Bookish, and here's the link to the main page if you're interested in becoming a part of it: http://www.brokeandbookish.com/p/top-ten-tuesday-other-features.html Today's topic is: Ten Characters I'd Name A Child/Cat/Dog/Car/ etc After, and I think it's going to be a really fun one. First, Characters I'd Name a Pet after: 1) Katsa from Kristin Cashore's Graceling: I have to start with Katsa, since it is actually what we named our adorable black and white kitten almost a year ago. She's grown so much since this picture, but this was taken right after we decided on her name. We tried several different book characters, but Katsa is the one she loved right away, and so is what we ended up going with. 2) Rose from Richelle Mead's Vampire Academ...
