Are you looking forward to the weekend, and long weekend if you're Canadian like I am? I'm unfortunately not going to have the most fun weekend, as I've recently had some new health flare ups, and this is always an extremely busy time at work. When I'm not working, I think I'm mainly going to be resting and reading, and I'm looking forward to diving into some more great books. I always look forward to Colleen Coble's new book releases.

Peril at Owl Park by Marthe Jocelyn Review

  Hello Friends :) I pray today finds you all well, and I want to thank you for joining me today here on The Preppy Book Princess. I've mentioned quite a bit in the last couple of years, that I'm not picking up as many secular novels these days. I've been heavily turned off by the content that's making its way more and more into titles, and I've often ended up being disappointed in titles being publishing by Christian publishers, much less the secular ones. That being said, once in awhile, a book will still catch my eye that I want to give a try, and in the bookstore one day, I happened to stumble upon the Aggie Morton, Mystery Queen series by Marthe Jocelyn. I happen to love middle grade mysteries, and I was really looking forward to trying out a new one. I read and reviewed the first book in the series, which you can find below, and I honestly found it kind of hit or miss. The Body Under the Piano Regardless, I decided to go ahead and dive into the second book any

I adore cozy mysteries, something that's probably not a surprise to any of you that have read my blog before.

I can't believe we're already into a new month. Lately I've found that the time seems to be slipping by even faster than normal, and it's reminding me just how important it truly is to try and enjoy each and every day. One of my favorite ways to do this is by reading amazing stories whenever I have the free time to do so, and today, strange as it may sound, I'm here to share my review of a Christmas themed read with you all.
