Five Inspirational Reads I Just Added To My TBR

Happy Friday Guys :)

I'm so excited you're all joining me today on The Preppy Book Princess, and as always, I can't wait to talk books with you all. :)

I had mentioned in a previous blog post just how badly I had wanted to attend The Christian Fiction Reader's Retreat in Ohio this year, but sadly the dates just didn't work for me to go.

As it was last Saturday, August 12th, I pretty much spent that whole day after work following the hashtag on Instagram and Twitter to see the amazing time that all the attendees were having.

If you're unfamiliar with this particular retreat, you can find out more about it here. From following the hashtags however, I discovered so many amazing sounding books. Both from authors attending the convention, and from authors who showed up in my recommended feeds on both platforms from all my searching.

I've literally added so many new inspirational books to my TBR list in the last couple of days, and I definitely wanted to take the time to share five of the newest ones I added with all of you.

1) Paper Hearts by Courtney Walsh:

Courtney Walsh is an author that's been on my TBR list for quite sometime, but after following her on Instagram and seeing the book trailer for this particular novel on YouTube, she's definitely an author that now I'm dying to read ASAP. This contemporary sounds so sweet, and sounds like such an original story idea, and I definitely have a feeling that one is for sure my cup of tea.

2) Intermission by Serena Chase:

I've mentioned time and time again that I'm literally the queen of contemporary novels, especially YA novels, but I've honestly come across very few Inspirational YA contemporary novels, and so I couldn't contain my excitement when I discovered Serena Chase through twitter the other day. This story sounds amazing, and like something I need in my life as soon as possible, and considering Serena also has a YA fantasy inspirational series, I definitely have a feeling I'm going to be reading lots from her in the years to come.

3) One More Song To Sing by Lindsay Harrel:

Lindsay Harrel was an author that showed up in my recommended feed on Twitter, and once I read the description of her amazing sounding debut novel, I knew this one had to be added to by TBR list without a doubt. And guys, how beautiful is this cover?

4) An Inconvenient Beauty by Kristi Ann Hunter:

Kristi Ann Hunter is an author I'd had recommend to me previously by people who knew I loved inspirational fiction, but for some reason or another, I'd never gotten around to looking up her books. Now that I have, I'm dying to read this upcoming release by her, and since it's the fourth in the series, I definitely need to get on with reading the first three in the upcoming weeks.

5) Just The Way You Are by Pepper D. Basham:

Last on my list, is this beautiful sounding contemporary novel by new to me author Pepper Basham. She was an author that showed up numerous times when I was strolling through the Christian Fiction Reader's Retreat hashtags, and after looking her up and discovering this novel about a trip to England, a family mystery, and British movie star, I couldn't be more excited to read her books.

Lol as you guys can see, I'm not kidding when I say how much I love contemporary novels, and I can't wait to give all of these a try in the hopefully near future.

If any of you are also a huge fan of inspirational fiction and have some other suggestions, I'd love to hear them!

Thanks so much for reading! Have a great weekend everyone, and I'll see you all again on Monday :)

Announcing My Temporary Hiatus From Book Blogging

Hello all my sweet bookish lovelies :) I pray you all had a lovely Christmas, and are looking forward to having a wonderful New Year's as well. I've shared a little bit of info over the past few months on my blog about why I wasn't around as often, but now it's time to share with you all exactly what that is. My hubby and I found out we were expecting earlier this year, and we had the immense pleasure of welcoming our precious baby boy into the world this month. Because of this, I've decided to take a temporary step back from book blogging and reviewing, while I adjust to being a first time mom to a newborn. I will definitely be back blogging in some form or another, but not sure at this point exactly when that will be as my little man deserves all of his mommy's attention right now. I thank you guys all for being a part of another wonderful year here on The Preppy Book Princess, and I look forward to jumping back into the Christian book community sometime in ...

A Refuge in Montana by Allie Pleiter Review

Happy Monday My Sweet Bookish Friends :) It's been awhile, how have you all been doing? Originally, I had hoped to be back doing at least semi regular book reviews by now, and since I had an author offer me an ARC copy right around when I wanted to start trying again, I figured I'd give it a go. Unfortunately, I've been dealing with some health complications post partum (which I really don't want to go into at the moment), and my energy is just not where it needs to be at this point. I'm excited to get to share this review with you all as I did enjoy the title and would love to tell you more about it, but this will be my only review for awhile, at least until we can get everything figured out with my health. With that being said, let's dive right into today's review, but first if you'd like to check out my reviews of the previous titles in the series, you can do so using the links below: Rescue on the Farm A Montana Sized Secret Otherwise, keep on read...

First Line Friday: The Joy of Falling

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you've all had a great week, and that you've had time to curl up with some great books. This week, Lindsay Harrel's newest book released, and I loved it when I had the chance to read and review it. I'm excited to feature it for this week's First Line Friday post which is hosted by the lovely ladies over at Hoarding Books. The Joy of Falling by Lindsay Harrel: About The Book: Eva and Angela must learn to live again. One step at a time. It has been fifteen months since Eva and Angela lost their thrill-seeking husbands in a scuba diving accident. Both women are trying to navigate their way through the grief, but neither one is making much progress. Angela is barely making ends meet, angry at her husband for leaving her to raise three children on her own. Meanwhile, Eva is stuck, unable to move forward after losing the love of her life and her source of inspiration. But then Eva gets a life-changing phone call. Befor...
