Alex and Eliza by Melissa de la Cruz Review

  Hello Friends :) I pray 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've been thinking of switching my blog up a bit in the upcoming months. I love sharing my book reviews, and I will definitely continue to do so. However, I'd also love to go back to doing some other features like tags, ranked and reviewed, checking back on old book hauls, etc etc. Since I go through so many books, especially lately, that would probably mean either adding an extra day to my three regular days of blogging, or perhaps doing a couple of weeks of daily blogging to get caught up with everything. Not quite sure which route I'm going to take honestly, but you'll be the first to find out when I do. My hubby and I have been spending a lot of time at home lately aside from working, and we've both been steadily working our way through our TBR piles. I was finally able to get to a book that's been sitting ...

The Cider Shop Rules by Julie Anne Lindsey Review

  Hello Friends :) 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. If you've never stopped by before, welcome! I'm Kirby, and I love getting to share my love of books with you all. I've been an avid bookworm for as long as I can remember, and I especially enjoy Christian fiction, young adult fiction, cozy mysteries, middle grade, and speculative fiction.  I recently had a chance to read one of the books my hubby gave me for Christmas, and today I can't wait to share with you all what I ended up thinking about it.

Part of my World: What I've Learned from the Little Mermaid about Love, Faith and Finding my Voice by Jodi Benson with Carol Traver Review

  Happy Monday Friends :) 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 haven't really talked too much on my blog about my not really being a Disney fan anymore, but I have to be honest that I've been very disheartened with some of the company's recent decisions, and it doesn't really seem to be a company, that as a Christian, I can find much value in anymore.  However, when I was a big Disney fan, The Little Mermaid was pretty much always my favorite, and I loved the fact that Jodi Benson (the woman who does Ariel's voice), is a Christian, and often uses her platform from this character to share her faith. When I heard she had a book releasing about her faith and her journey to become the voice behind such a famous character, I knew I couldn't wait to read it. Today I'm excited to share my review of this one with you all, and I hope you'll keep reading below ...

Fallout by Carrie Stuart Parks Review

  Hello Friends :) Happy Friday, and thank you so much for choosing to drop by The Preppy Book Princess today. I hope you've all been doing well, and all been finding lovely new fiction titles to get a little break from the real world. I've personally not been in the greatest mood the last few days. I'm not really much of a summer person, and this one seems to be even worse than usual. I'm so ready for a break from the heat, the crowds and the bugs, and I'm ecstatic that September is only weeks away. One way I've been trying to escape all the ugliness of summer, is curling up inside with some great new reads. I recently had the chance to read an upcoming release by a new to me author, and today I'm excited to share my review of this one with you all. Keep reading down below for my full review.

The Dead Man in the Garden by Marthe Jocelyn Review

  Hello Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I want to thank you for joining me today here on The Preppy Book Princess. I wanted to take a moment before diving into today's review to thank each and every one of you who chooses to take time out of their day to read my bookish ramblings. I appreciate each of you guys so much, and I love getting to have a creative space to share my love of books since I don't get to do too much of it in my everyday life otherwise. I've seen so many booktubers, bookbloggers, and bookstagrammers choose to leave the book community as the seem to almost grow out of their love of reading, and I never want that to be me. I've definitely changed a lot of my reading preferences over the years, but I continue to love losing myself in amazing stories, and I'm thankful to have "met" so many of you guys that feel the same. I thank you and appreciate you, and I hope to share many more bookish posts with you all in 2022! A...

Harvest Moon by Denise Hunter Review

  Happy Wednesday Bookish Friends :) 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'm Kirby, and I'm delighted you've chosen to stop by. Our area has been currently going through an extreme heat wave, and I have to say that I'm definitely not a fan. It makes my workplace that much warmer and busier, and when I'm not working, pretty much all I want to do is hide in my air conditioned house, and catch up on cleaning, cooking, reading and blogging. I love getting to read books set during the fall or winter during these kind of crazy weather days, as it gives me hope that the beautiful fall season is just around the corner. Today I'm excited to share a review with you all for an upcoming release from one of my all time favorite authors. This particular title is the final release in her most recent trilogy, and if you'd like to check out my reviews of the first two book...

The London House by Katherine Reay Review

  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. Since we are officially past the halfway point of 2022, I'm curious how your reading has gone so far this year? Are you where you wanted to be in your reading challenge? Have you discovered many new favorites? Have you had some negative experiences? I'm actually well over the halfway mark of my reading challenge, and I've read a plethora of wonderful books so far. Unfortunately, I've also had way more negative reading experiences already this year, which is unfortunate, but hopefully the second half of 2022 will see less of this.  Today I'm here to share a review for the most recently released book by an author that I've really enjoyed in the past. Keep reading to see what I thought about her newest release. The London House by Katherine Reay: Source: Libby App Publisher: Harper Muse Publication Date: November ...

Sabotage at Willow Woods by Carolyn Keene Review

  Hello Friends :) I pray 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'd like to start off today's post with a fun story to share with you all. I've been a lifelong Nancy Drew fan, and this started from reading the classic yellow cover novels back in my elementary school days. I didn't own these books myself, and our local library didn't have very many of them. Thankfully I had the world's greatest aunt who owned a pretty large amount of the collection. She knew I was a total bookworm, and went digging in boxes in her basement to borrow her collection of these stories out to me, and from there, I was completely hooked on the Nancy Drew mysteries. I love the fact that new Nancy Drew mysteries are still being written to this day, and I've really been enjoying working my way through the Nancy Drew Diaries. I've reviewed a few of the other titles in this series, which you ca...

The Bridge to Belle Island by Julie Klassen Review

  Good Morning Friends :) I hope today finds you all doing well, and I want to thank you for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess. Over the last few months, I read and loved the Ivy Hill series by Julie Klassen. Those books truly are some of my new favorites, and suprisingly, were actually my first experience with any of the books by this particular author. With how much I ended up enjoying them, it's probably not surprising that I really wanted to dive into another one of her books. You can check out my reviews of the Ivy Hill books below, and then keep on reading for today's review: The Innkeeper of Ivy Hill The Ladies of Ivy Cottage The Bride of Ivy Green An Ivy Hill Christmas The Bridge to Belle Island by Julie Klassen: Source: Libby App Publisher: Bethany House Publication Date: December 3rd, 2019 Genre: Christian Fiction/Historical Fiction Synopsis: After a humiliating mistake, lawyer Benjamin Booker resolves to never again trust a beautiful...

This past weekend is always one of the craziest times of the year at my workplace, and so I'm extremely thankful that it's finally behind me for another year, and while summer will continue to be busier than usual, I'm still thankful to have a few more moments of peace. I'm especially looking forward to curling up with the many titles I currently have on my July TBR List. Before I dive right into reading though, I'd like to share a review with you all of an upcoming historical fiction release. Keep reading below for my full review.

The Memory Index by Julian R. Vaca Review

  Good Morning Everyone :) Happy Canada Day to all my fellow Canadians, and Happy Friday to everyone visiting from somewhere else. I have to be honest that this is always one of my least favorite days of the year just because it's always absolute madness at work today, and I always look forward to putting this day behind me for another year. Before all the craziness gets underway though, I thought I'd love to go ahead and share my review of an upcoming dystopian young adult release with you all that I was really looking forward to reading.
