Strangers on a Train by Carolyn Keene Review

Good Morning Everyone :)

I pray today finds you all doing well, and I want to thank you all for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess.

I ended up taking Wednesday off from posting this week. It wasn't exactly planned that way, but it ended up turning out that way.

My husband and I have had a crazy busy schedule lately, and have also had a lot of trials and struggles over the last couple of months.

We decided to get away for a couple of days to just spend some time relaxing, shopping and swimming, and it was a lovely time away together.

Unfortunately, the hotel we were in had pretty terrible internet, so I made the decision to just take Wednesday off, rather than fighting with the wifi to get a post up for you all.

I hope you're all having a great week, and that the weekend is going to be a lovely time for you all.

Now let's jump right in to today's review.

Last year, I shared my reviews of two of the titles in the Nancy Drew Diaries series:

Curse of the Arctic Star

A Nancy Drew Christmas

And today I'm excited to share with you all a review of another title in this fun, middle grade series.

Keep reading below for my full review.

Strangers on a Train by Carolyn Keene:

Source: Libby App

Publisher: Aladdin

Publication Date: February 5th, 2013

Genre: Middle Grade/Mystery

Series: Nancy Drew Diaries

Synopsis:

Nancy and her friends take their detective skills on an Alaskan adventure in this second book of the Nancy Drew Diaries, a fresh approach to a classic series.Nancy’s Alaskan adventure continues as she, Bess, and George disembark the mystery-plagued Arctic Star cruise ship and explore the grand sites of the forty-ninth state: Skagway; the Yukon territory, and Denali National Park. It’s spectacular scenery, but things start to go wrong almost immediately, leading Nancy to believe that whoever was behind the unsolved mayhem aboard the ship has followed them onto dry land. The girl detectives had better watch their steps—they’re on uncharted and unknown territory!

My Review:

I don't recommend reading this one without having read the first book beforehand, as I feel you will miss out on quite a bit of the mystery. After being a little annoyed with the way the first book ended, I enjoyed this one much more after the entire mystery wraps up by the end.

I loved the Alaska setting, and I enjoyed how Nancy's trying her best to solve the mystery, while trying to keep it all on the down lo from the rest of the cruise passengers.

I suspected a certain someone from the last novel as having something to do with what was going on, and I was proven right, but since I hadn't figured out this person's motive, the reveal was still a fun one for me anyways.

I definitely enjoyed this title more than the first one, and I'm looking forward to continuing on with the rest of the series shortly.

Final Rating: 4/5.

Thanks so much for reading guys! Have a great rest of your day :)

Announcing My Temporary Hiatus From Book Blogging

Hello all my sweet bookish lovelies :) I pray you all had a lovely Christmas, and are looking forward to having a wonderful New Year's as well. I've shared a little bit of info over the past few months on my blog about why I wasn't around as often, but now it's time to share with you all exactly what that is. My hubby and I found out we were expecting earlier this year, and we had the immense pleasure of welcoming our precious baby boy into the world this month. Because of this, I've decided to take a temporary step back from book blogging and reviewing, while I adjust to being a first time mom to a newborn. I will definitely be back blogging in some form or another, but not sure at this point exactly when that will be as my little man deserves all of his mommy's attention right now. I thank you guys all for being a part of another wonderful year here on The Preppy Book Princess, and I look forward to jumping back into the Christian book community sometime in ...

A Refuge in Montana by Allie Pleiter Review

Happy Monday My Sweet Bookish Friends :) It's been awhile, how have you all been doing? Originally, I had hoped to be back doing at least semi regular book reviews by now, and since I had an author offer me an ARC copy right around when I wanted to start trying again, I figured I'd give it a go. Unfortunately, I've been dealing with some health complications post partum (which I really don't want to go into at the moment), and my energy is just not where it needs to be at this point. I'm excited to get to share this review with you all as I did enjoy the title and would love to tell you more about it, but this will be my only review for awhile, at least until we can get everything figured out with my health. With that being said, let's dive right into today's review, but first if you'd like to check out my reviews of the previous titles in the series, you can do so using the links below: Rescue on the Farm A Montana Sized Secret Otherwise, keep on read...

First Line Friday: The Joy of Falling

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you've all had a great week, and that you've had time to curl up with some great books. This week, Lindsay Harrel's newest book released, and I loved it when I had the chance to read and review it. I'm excited to feature it for this week's First Line Friday post which is hosted by the lovely ladies over at Hoarding Books. The Joy of Falling by Lindsay Harrel: About The Book: Eva and Angela must learn to live again. One step at a time. It has been fifteen months since Eva and Angela lost their thrill-seeking husbands in a scuba diving accident.

Meanwhile, Eva is stuck, unable to move forward after losing the love of her life and her source of inspiration. But then Eva gets a life-changing phone call. Befor...
