The Preppy Book Princess

Hello Friends :) How are you all doing with everything going on in our world right now? There's certain things that have definitely been frustrating for me, but I'm trying not to focus on them or complain as I know everyone's struggling right now, and staying positive is one way I can try my best and help. One way I've found to stay positive during everything going on is to immerse myself in Christian fiction. I love how I always feel uplifted and more positive when reading this genre, and I've found myself turning to it a lot. Today's review is especially exciting for me to write as it's another book from my 2020 most anticipated releases pos t. Becky Wade is one of my all time favorite authors, and I can't wait to share with you all what I thought about her upcoming release.

Hello Everyone :) Can you believe it's already almost the end of April? With all the craziness that existed for us all during the months of March and April, it felt like it literally went by in no time at all. Since I'm still not currently working, I've been reading quite a few books as I've had lots of spare time on my hands. One of my all time favorite authors, Becky Wade, has a new series coming out in May, and I currently have the first book from NetGalley. However, before I could start reading that one, I needed to read the prequel novella, and today I'd like to share a quick review of it with you all. Take a Chance on Me by Becky Wade: Source: Free through Ibooks Publication Date: February 25th, 2020 Genre: Christian Fiction/Contemporary Series: Misty River Romance Synopsis: When baker Penelope Quinn steps in to help her brother’s family through a medical crisis, she’s forced into close proximity with charming Air Force fighter pil...

Happy Friday Friends :) I hope you're doing well wherever you're reading from today, and I hope that you're all staying safe and healthy. Have you been experiencing any spring temperatures in your area yet? We finally had some nicer weather this week, which was a definite lovely change from the snow we'd been constantly experiencing for the weeks prior. However, it's supposed to be cold and rainy here through the next few days, so we might end up with more snow yet. For today's First Line Friday, which is hosted by the lovely ladies over at Hoarding Books, I'm going to share the first line from a book I'm hoping to have time to read while I'm still off work and social distancing at home. The Number of Love by Roseanna M. White: About the Book: Three years into the Great War, England’s greatest asset is their intelligence network—field agents risking their lives to gather information, and codebreakers able to crack every German tele...

Hello Friends :) How have you all been doing? I've been feeling a little discouraged as of late, as I'm nervous about the fact that all of these global stressful situations seem to be stretching out much farther than anyone had originally thought. However, I know that God has his hand over the situation, and so I've been choosing to spend lots of time in prayer and Bible reading to settle all the nerves I've been experiencing over all this. Today I'm exited to share a book review with you all for another title that was on my most anticipated 2020 book releases. On a Coastal Breeze by Suzanne Woods Fisher: Source: Publisher via NetGalley Publisher: Revell Publication Date: May 5th, 2020 Genre: Christian Fiction Series: Three Sisters Island Synopsis: Everything happens for a reason, Maddie Grayson believes. But her motto gets sorely tested when the new minister parachutes into town and offers her a chance to change what happens next. (syno...

Hello Friends :) I hope you're all doing well, and that you are continuing to stay safe and healthy during these trying times. I've been especially thankful for all the Christian fiction I've had the chance to read during my time at home, as the messages in these beautiful stories have definitely provided a much needed boost to my spirit. For a good many years, I've loved reading Love Inspired stories, and Allie Pleiter has become one of my all time favorites of the Love Inspired authors. I reviewed her first book in the Wander Canyon series here , and ever since I couldn't wait to read more about the lovely residents of this idyllic small town. I got the opportunity to read the upcoming next installment in the series a couple of weeks back, and today I can't wait to share with all of you all about it.

Happy Good Friday Everyone :) Easter definitely feels a bit different this year, as our church service is going to have to be online this year, and we obviously won't be having our traditional family get togethers. However, I still look forward to spending time studying scriptures, watching services online, and celebrating the fact that truth could never stay buried in a grave. I'm really excited for this week's edition of First Line Friday as I personally loved the read I'm going to share today, and I'm hoping many of you will too.

Hello Friends :) I pray that today finds you all safe and well, no matter where you're reading from.

Happy Monday Everyone :) How was your weekend? Mine was a little crazy, as we received another huge snow storm, and we got so much snow. This is definitely not completely out of character for where I live, but I don't think any of us were truly prepared for just how much was going to come down. However, it made for the perfect setting to have a lovely reading weekend, and not only did I participate in the 24 hour readathon for OWLS Magical Readathon (only reading during the waking hours of course), but I also got the opportunity to read a couple of review books. I couldn't be more excited to share my review of today's book for you guys! I've previously reviewed a couple of this author's books in the past, which you can find here and here, and I loved them. This particular title was included on my list of book releases I was most excited for this year, and I'm happy to say it did not disappoint. The Truth in Tiramisu by Rachael Bloome: Source...
