The Preppy Book Princess

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you've all had a great week, and that you're all looking forward to the weekend. My weekend is going to be a fun one! I work my usual shift today, but then I'm actually off for the next three days. Tomorrow I'm hosting a small birthday supper for my hubby, and then Sunday we're going to take in an annual Christmas performance at a local Bible college, and it's always one of my favorite traditions of the Christmas season. Before all of this commences however, I'd like to share a review with all of you guys for Jaime Jo Wright's upcoming book release. It will be out in the world on Tuesday, and I can guarantee you're not going to want to miss out on this one!

Hello Bookish Friends :) I hope you're all having a great week! Last year, I started a reread of the entire Mandie series.

Good Morning Bookish Friends :) I hope you're all doing well, and I want to thank you all for joining me for another review here on The Preppy Book Princess. I Now that it's well into November,   I will be reading lots and lots of Christmas themed reads, and today I'd like to share a review with you all for a cute contemporary holiday themed read that I finished a little while back. 10 Blind Dates by Ashley Elston: Source: Library Publisher: Disney-Hyperion Publication Date: October 1st, 2019 Genre: Young Adult Fiction/Contemporary Synopsis: Sophie wants one thing for Christmas-a little freedom from her overprotective parents.

  Hello Friends :) I hope you're all doing well, and I want to thank you all for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess. If you've been reading my blog for awhile, you may have remembered that at the start of the year I read The Prince Edward Island Dreams series by Liz Johnson, and considered the whole series a new favorite. You can find my review of one of those books here . When I discovered she has a new series, this one set along the Georgia Coast, I knew I needed to go ahead and dive into it. Today I'd like to share my review of the first book with you all. A Sparkle of Silver by Liz Johnson: Source: Library Publisher: Revell Publication Date: October 16th, 2018 Genre: Christian Fiction/Mystery/Romance Series: Georgia Coast Romance Synopsis: Ninety years ago, Millie Sullivan's great-grandmother was a guest at oil tycoon Howard Dawkins' palatial estate on the shore of St. Simons Island, Georgia.

Hello Bookish Friends :) I hope you're all doing well, and I want to thank you all for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess. Do you have any fun plans for the rest of the week? My hubby and I are actually in the middle of a small vacation. We spent the weekend in one city, now were back home until tomorrow, and then we'll be leaving for another short holiday to a couple of different cities. I'm very much looking forward to it. I will definitely still be posting on my blog while I'm gone, but I'm not sure if I'll be posting the full three times a week or not. Today, as I'm hustling and bustling about to get all the last minute things done before we leave, I knew I had to make some time to share a review for an amazing middle grade novel that I just recently finished. I've mentioned quite a few times on my blog how much I love middle grade, but I don't too often get a chance to review it. I'm excited to...

Hello Everyone :) I hope you're all doing well, and I want to thank you for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess. I have mentioned many times on my blog throughout 2019 that Mandi Blake is quickly becoming a new favorite author of mine. I adore how raw and real her Christian romances are, and I'm thankful for each and every one of her books that I've had the opportunity to read and review. When she contacted me about reviewing her upcoming release, Beautiful Storm, I jumped at the chance. After all, it's a new Mandi Blake book, it's set during the Christmas season, and it's Marcus' story. I had a feeling I was going to love this one, and I was definitely not disappointed. Today I'd like to share my review of this beautiful story with you all, and if you've yet to read a book by this author, then you need to do so as soon as you possibly can.

Hello Bookish Friends :) I hope you're all doing well, and I want to thank you for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess. October 2019 was apparently a month where I really enjoyed reading Denise Hunter books. I finished not one, not two, but three of her titles last month, and I loved each of them so much. Denise Hunter continues to be one of my all time favorite authors, and you guys know I love Christian contemporary romances more than words could possibly express. Today I thought it would be fun to share with all of you guys my review for the last book in the Summer Harbor series.

Hello Everyone :) I hope you're all doing well, and I want to thank you all for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess. I love getting to give new authors a try, and today I'm excited to get to share with you all a review for the debut novel by Andrew Huff. Andrew and his publishing team reached out to me to see if I was interested in reviewing his debut novel, and I was instantly intrigued. I love giving books a try that are out of my comfort zone, and since this one is more of a Christian action/suspense novel, I knew it would be unlike anything I'd ever read before. Now I'm here to share with you all what I ended up thinking about this book once I'd finished it. A Cross to Kill by Andrew Huff: Source: Complimentary Copy Provided By The Publisher and Author Publisher: Kregel Publication Date: October 15th, 2019 Genre: Christian Fiction/Suspense Series: Shepherd Suspense Synopsis: A gripping debut thri...

Happy November Everyone :) I hope you all had a great Halloween, and that you're all looking forward to a fun weekend! Do you have any exciting plans for the weekend? I will mainly be working, but possibly also doing some Christmas shopping and trying some new recipes I've been wanting to try for awhile. Was October a good reading month for you? For myself, it was actually a pretty good month. I did have quite a few five star reads, and only ended up having a couple that I rated less than three stars. Today I'd like to share with you all what books I read during the month of October, and what I thought of each one.  I'll be sharing them in the order in which I finished them, and not in a best to worst or worst to best type of order. The Bake Shop by Amy Clipston: The month started off with a fantastic read. I read Amy Clipston's upcoming book release, and it might just be my new favorite by her. I loved the developing romance, the marketplace set...
