The Preppy Book Princess

  Good Morning Lovelies and Happy Friday! I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you've taken the time to drop on by The Preppy Book Princess today for another book review. I apologize for my absence the past couple of weeks. It wasn't anything I had planned, but unfortunately I'm currently in the midst of dealing with several different family emergencies, and I didn't have either the time or the energy to come on here to post. While I would still appreciate your prayers for my family, I'm not going to say more than that because I want to respect everyone's privacy, including my own. However, I'm happy to be able to be back today sharing my love of the written word with you all, and this review is going to be both exciting and bittersweet for me to share with you. Exciting because it's a new and upcoming title from one of my favorite authors, who I'm blessed to get to continue to be part of her review team. Bittersweet because...

Hello Bookish Lovelies :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you chose to join me (Kirby) here on The Preppy Book Princess for another book review. I'm writing this one a little bit in advance, and I'm currently at home with a nasty cold while doing so.

  Good Morning Sweet Friends :) Happy Friday! I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you've taken the time to drop on by The Preppy Book Princess today for another book review. This Christmas season, I've had the immense pleasure of getting to work my way through some of the titles from the multi author Christmas in Redemption Ridge series.

  Happy Wednesday Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you've taken the time to drop on by The Preppy Book Princess today for another book review. How has your December been going? Are you well on the way in your Christmas preparations? I feel I'm doing okay on this front. There's still lots to get done, but I do have a week of holidays coming up, and I'm planning to use the majority of it for that purpose. One thing I especially love doing around the Christmas season is reading many Christmas themed book titles. I always find myself reading and rereading beloved Christmas novels, and it was only after finishing rereading this one last week that I realized I've never actually reviewed it for my blog before. I can't wait to do so today, and I hope you'll all keep reading down below for today's full review.

  Good Morning Bookish Lovelies :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you've taken the time to drop on by The Preppy Book Princess today for another book review. I can't believe it's already the first week of December! It feels like fall literally just happened, and suddenly Christmas is going to be upon us in a few weeks. I love this time of year that celebrates the most amazing gift any of us could ever have received, and I pray you're all taking time to reflect on the true meaning for the season. Usually at this time of year, I prefer to share reviews of heartwarming Christmas themed reads, and that's what I will be doing again this year for the most part. However, I'm stepping away from that today to share my review of a recently released Christian historical fiction title from a new to me author. I hope you'll all keep reading down below for today's full review. The Warsaw Sisters by Amanda Barratt: Source: Complimentary ...

  Hello Friends :) Thank you all for joining me (Kirby) here on The Preppy Book Princess. Wherever you're reading from today, I pray your week is going well, and that you're looking forward to move into the season to celebrate our Savior's birth. Christmas is always one of my absolute favorite times of the year, and I love getting to share Christmas themed book reviews with you all. Today's review is going to be for a title that I'd had highly recommended to me, that's basically a cookbook/entertaining book, and I can't wait to tell you all what I ended up thinking about it.

  Hello Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you decided to take some time out of your day to stop by The Preppy Book Princess. I'm Kirby, and I'm happy you're here. I've been an avid reader my entire life, and I started my book blog back in September of 2015. I've grown a lot fussier in the last couple of years about the type of content I allow myself to read, watch and listen to, and that's meant I read a lot less secular fiction than I used to. Honestly, Christian fiction is the best genre anyways, so it hasn't been a hardship whatsoever to give up more of the non Christian titles. However, there are a few secular authors whose books I've still enjoyed in the past that I have continued to read, and today I'd like to share a newer release by one of those authors with you all. I'm going to preface this one by saying that after two disappointing experiences in a row with this author, I'm not sure I'll ...

I'm always grateful for anyone taking the time to stop by my little corner of the internet, and I hope it in in someway blesses you today. If you're new here then welcome! I'm Kirby, and I love talking books, especially Christian fiction books, with you all! If you're a longtime friend, then welcome back! I'm so glad you're here. Ever since I read the first title in the Cape Light series back in 2008, it's been one of my all time favorites. These books actually hold a lot of memories for me, as yeah that first time I read them back in 2008? Well it happened to be while I was lying in a hospital bed for the first of many visits to try and figure out what was wrong with me. In such a scary, uncertain time, I loved getting to read about a small town where faith, family and friendships have stood the test of time, and I...

  Happy Wednesday Bookish Lovelies :) I pray that today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you've taken time out of your busy day to join me today on The Preppy Book Princess for another book review. Yesterday actually started a week of holidays for me, and I'm pretty excited about it. My husband's birthday is this week, and we've got some fun things planned to celebrate. However, I got to spend my first day of holidays yesterday reading an upcoming release by one of my all time favorite authors, and today I get to tell you all about it. This particular release is book five in a wonderful, faith based multi author series. I was lucky enough to get to read and review a couple of previous titles in the series, and if you're interested in checking out those reviews, you can do so using the links below: Remembering the Rancher by Liwen Y.

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. A couple of years ago I discovered the wonderful Tales from Grace Chapel Inn series by accident, and it instantly became a new favorite.

  Happy Wednesday Bookish Lovelies :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you've taken the time to stop on by The Preppy Book Princess today for another book review. This past week, I've gone through some pretty hard things, but I've come out the other end of it being so grateful for all the amazing blessings I have in my life. Sometimes it's so easy to fall into the comparison trap or it's easy to spend our time focusing on all the problems rather than on all the blessings. I truly want to try and change my outlook on this, and spend more time shining a light for Jesus. I hope to get to spend time shining a light for Him on my blog, and it's definitely going to be one of my personal goals going into 2024. Now long winded intro aside, I'm looking forward to diving right into sharing another book review today with you all. I hope you'll all join me down below for today's full review.
