Home Song by Thomas Kinkade and Katherine Spencer Review

 Hello Friends :)

Thank you all for finding your way over to The Preppy Book Princess this morning.

Are you someone who enjoys rereading? I adore getting to reread books, and yet my reviewing schedule has been so full lately that I haven't had a lot of time to do so. One of the series I've been really wanting to reread is the Cape Light series by Thomas Kinkade and Katherine Spencer, and a few months ago I finally had the chance to reread the first book.

After that I got too busy with reviewing to continue on, but a couple of months I finally had the chance to sit down and gobble up the second book.

Since the first time I read this book I wasn't book reviewing yet, I knew this time around that I wanted to try and review at least some of the earlier titles in this series.

Home Song by Thomas Kinkade and Katherine Spencer:

My Review:

Cape Light is one of my all time favorite series, and I'm really enjoying reading through the entire series again. Home Song is a heartwarming story that speaks of family, faith and friendship, and is definitely a recommended read during these crazy days going on in our world right now.

Cape Light is one of my favorite fictional small towns, and I truly adore how the town all comes together. Of course, you always have Charlie Bates out for himself and crushing everyone who gets in the way, but the town overall all tries to work together to help each other out. A negative side of the town emerges when Luke, a former Boston police officer, wants to open a center for troubled kids, and Emily Warwick's stance on it might just cause her to loose the mayoral election to Charlie Bates. On top of that, Jessica and Sam are struggling with going forward  with their wedding plans when Jessica's mom Lillian is so opposed to the idea of the union. Sara Franklin is struggling to know what to do with the heavy secret she's been keeping, and the feelings she's starting to develop for Luke. 

This season in Cape Light, hearts will be mended, long sought after relationships will be restored, and town members will learn the importance of faith no matter what you may be going through. 

I truly adore this series, and I can't wait to start rereading book three!

Final Rating: 5/5.

Thanks so much for reading guys! 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...
