Checking Back On My Second Book Haul

Hello Bookish Friends :)

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

Last October I had done a blog post that I titled Checking Back On My Very First Book Haul. It consisted of me looking back at the very first book haul I ever posted on my blog, and evaluating just how many of the books listed in that haul I'd actually read.

I've gotten a little better in the last year or two at not constantly buying books all the time, especially where the used bookstores or Book Outlet are concerned. I still buy books regularly, but I don't tend to do the huuuge book hauls like I used to when I first started this blog.

All of this is a long winded way of introducing the fact that I felt compelled to do another one of these check backs on one of my earlier book hauls, and so today I'd like to share with you all a look back on the second book haul I posted on my blog back in January of 2016.

This particular book haul was my boxing day haul from Book Outlet, and I'm hoping I make out better with how many books I've read from this one than I did when I did the check back on my first haul.

If you're interested in seeing this original haul post, check it out here, and now let's go ahead and jump right into the look back. :)

Alrighty so jumping right into the first stack:

I hope you guys enjoyed this somewhat different blog post, and if you did and want to see more of these type of posts, please let me know in the comments!

Have a great rest of your day guys, and I'll see you all soon for more bookish content :)

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...
