5 Inspirational Reads I Just Added To My TBR List #2

Happy Wednesday Everyone :)


Thanks so much for joining me today on the Preppy Book Princess!


A few weeks ago I had done a post on 5 Inspirational Reads I Just Added to my TBR List, which you can find here, and today I thought it would be fun to share another post since I recently just added a bunch more inspirational books to my list.


The Christy Award nominees were recently announced, and browsing the finalists made my TBR pile grow substantially. There's just so many amazing sounding books in this year's categories. If you're unfamiliar, the Christy Awards honor and promote excellence in Christian fiction, and here's the link to this year's nominees, so you can check out all the amazing sounding books yourself.


For today though, I'd like to share the five books that I'm most excited about reading after scrolling through this year's nominees. 


1) The Red Door Inn by Liz Johnson:



This is actually the only novel of the three nominated in the contemporary romance category that I haven't already read. You guys know that contemporaries are my ultimate favorite books, and the fact that this one is set in Prince Edward Island makes it even more appealing, as I don't too often find a ton of books that are set in Canada.


2) The Lady and the Lionheart by Joanne Bischof:



On top of this book being nominated in the historical romance category, I've also heard about it from almost every single inspirational book blogger I follow, and I have yet to hear a bad thing about it. I know it revolves around the circus, a lion tamer, and a nurse, and it honestly sounds unlike anything I've read before, and I'm definitely hoping to pick this one up ASAP.


3) If You're Gone by Brittany Goodwin:



I'm always on the hunt for new YA inspirational books, and this one about a girl who's boyfriend vanishes on the night of his graduation, and her corresponding search for answers sounds amazing, and I definitely can't wait to pick it up.


4) Unblemished by Sara Ella:



This YA fantasy novel about a girl who's face is half covered by a huge birthmark, and who's used to living in the shadows, until one night when her mother fails to come home and suddenly everything changes in her life faster than she ever could have imagined, once again sounds unlike anything I've ever read before, and inspirational fantasy is definitely something I'm interested in starting to read.


5) A Note Yet Unsung by Tamera Alexander:



I already had the first book in the Belmont Mansion series on my TBR, but after reading the description of this one focusing on a young violinist who's denied entry into the Nashville Philharmonic by a young conductor who soon needs her help to finish his symphony, this series has now crawled even higher up on my TBR list.


I'm so excited about all of these new additions to my TBR list, and also about the broad spectrum of titles that are now being published by Christian publishing houses. I hope you guys enjoyed this post about current additions to my TBR list, and I hope to do a Christmas centered one of these in the upcoming weeks.


Thanks so much for reading guys! Enjoy this beautiful day, and I'll see you all again on Friday :)

First Line Friday: Carolina Breeze

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you're all having a great week! Mine has actually been pretty good. We've had some really nice days, and my husband and I were finally able to put our garden in, and various flowers and the like. We've also had a couple of lovely, rainy days as well, and I love how green everything is looking in our yard right now.

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: A Sweethaven Romance

  Happy Friday Friends :) I hope you're all enjoying the last little bit of summer. Are you sad to see summer come to an end, or are you looking forward to fall? I personally love fall and it's my all time favorite season. However, I always find the changing of the seasons a tad bittersweet, although I'm very much looking forward to all the wonderful things fall brings with it. For today's post, I'm excited to be linking up again with Hoarding Books for another edition of First Line Friday.
