If You Like To Read This, Try That

Good Morning Everyone :)

I hope you're all having a great week so far, and I want to thank you all for joining me here on The Preppy Book Princess.

I've been working on this particular post for quite awhile, and I'm excited to finally get to share it with all of you guys.

I feel like a lot of readers are still unfamiliar with just how many titles currently exist within the Christian Fiction market, and this particular genre is still getting stereotyped as containing only historical fiction and westerns. (Although those are pretty amazing in their own right!)

Today I thought it would be fun to take a look at some of my favorite, or more popular regular fiction books, and then make a comparison to a Christian Fiction book. Like the title of the post states, this will be a "if you like this, give that a try."

Let's go ahead and get started.

Anyone who's read my blog for awhile will know that I'm a huge fan of time travel, and that this particular trilogy is one of my all time favorites. If you are also a fan of either this trope or this trilogy then I highly recommend that you give:

The River of Time series by Lisa T Bergen a chance. Both of these series are about teenage girls experiencing time travel, and both take place in Europe. Both also have an eclectic cast of secondary characters, feature romances, and keep the reader on the edge of their seat. Check out my full review of the first book here.

Sarah Dessen's contemporaries continue to be some of my all time favorites, but I'm happy to say that I've recently discovered a Christian young adult author who's first novel reminds me very much of a Sarah Dessen novel.

Brittany Goodwin writes about grief, growing up, overcoming obstacles, first loves, and how to move on when the grief seems crippling. I highly recommend this one to anyone who's a Sarah Dessen fan like myself. Check out my full review here.

If you're a fan of fairytale retellings, like the Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer, then you definitely want to give any of Melanie Dickerson's fabulous stories a try.

While these novels aren't science fiction like Marissa's novels are, they each predominately focus around a retelling of a famous fairy tale, and definitely have a fantasy element to them.

I personally love dystopian novels, and I really enjoyed this trilogy by Ally Condie. When I picked up Krista McGee's dystpian series, I noticed lots of similarities between the two, especially within the world building, and really found myself enjoying reading it as well.

Check out my full review here.

And lastly,

If you're a fan of the popular fantasy young adult books, like Throne of Glass,

Then you need to check out Fawkes by Nadine Brandes. Fawkes focuses heavily around magic, world building, kingdoms; honestly you name it, it has it. Plus, it's a re-imagined story of Guy Fawkes which just makes it that much more amazing. Check out my full review here.

Thanks so much for joining me today guys! I had so much fun getting to share these recommendations with you, and I hope to do a follow up to this post soon with even more recommendations. Have a great rest of your day!

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...
