What You Said to Me by Olivia Newport Review

  Hello Everyone :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you chose to stop by The Preppy Book Princess for another book review. I've long been a fan of dual timeline novels, and in particular, I love ones that have a mystery that connects between the past and the present. A couple of years ago, my aunt had told me about the Tree of Life series by Olivia Newport, and it sounded like something I'd definitely enjoy reading. I've read and reviewed the first three books on my blog previously, and you can check out those reviews using the links below: The Inn at Hidden Run In the Cradle Lies When I Meet You I hope you'll all keep reading down below for today's full review.

Stalking Around the Christmas Tree by Jacqueline Frost Review

  Good Morning Everyone :) I pray your week is off to a great start, and I'm so thankful you chose to drop on by The Preppy Book Princess for another book review. I had mentioned in my last post that I would be taking last week off to go on a family vacation to the lake. Unfortunately, things didn't go quite as planned, and our holiday ended up being cut massively short because of a family emergency. With all the stress and worry that's been coming our way, I didn't know if I'd be able to get a review out for you all today or not, but I decided to go ahead and do my best to do so. I'm quite excited to share about this title with you all, especially since I've enjoyed all the previous books in the series. You can check out those previous reviews using the links below: Twelve Slays of Christmas 'Twas the Knife Before Christmas Slashing Through the Snow Now I hope you'll join me today for my review of the fourth title in this wonderful cozy mystery seri

  Happy Friday Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you decided to drop on by The Preppy Book Princess for another book review. Today brings us to the last day of my five book reviews in a row week, and I've saved a wonderful title to tell you all about today. I will actually be taking next week off from posting on my blog, as I will be joining my family for our annual lake vacation, and will be gone for the majority of the week. I'm definitely going to miss my hubby, as he's hanging around at home and will still be working, but I'm looking forward to spending time with family, and curling up with great reads surrounded by God's beautiful creation. Before I get on with the packing and all that though, I wanted to share this one last review with you all, and it's going to be another wonderful Christmas title that actually releases quite soon. I can't wait to tell you all about it, and I hope you'll join me down below f

Hello Everyone :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you decided to drop by The Preppy Book Princess today. Today brings us to review number four of my five reviews in a row, and this one is one I'm particularly excited to tell you all about.  One of my all time favorite things is getting to share my thoughts about the many books I consume with you all, and today I hope you'll grab yourself a cup of your favorite hot beverage, and settle in to read my review of another wonderful Christian contemporary title. I can pretty much refer to 2022 as the year I fell in love with Erynn Mangum's books, and I'm so thankful that such wonderful works of fiction exist for Christian women who want relatable books that honor Jesus without compromising on other areas. I've previously read and reviewed the first two books in this series, and you can check those out using the links below: Miss Match Rematch Keep on reading down below for today's full re

Countdown by Lynette Eason Review

  Happy Monday Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and that you all had a wonderful weekend, and that your week is off to a great start. I'm Kirby, and I'm happy to welcome you today to The Preppy Book Princess, where I love sharing my love of the written word with you all. Unfortunately for me, the weekend was extremely stressful, and somedays I'm starting to feel like I'm treading water trying to keep my head above ground. I'm thankful that God's got this, but somedays it's extremely hard to wait patiently like we're commanded to do. I thought I'd try and turn this week around on a positive note, so I've decided that this week I'm going to share five reviews with you all, instead of my usual three. I'll be posting Monday through Friday, and I've got some fabulous titles to tell you all about. I can't wait to dive right into the first one, so keep on reading down below and let's jump right into today's revie

Her Only Wish by Shelly Shepard Gray Review

  Happy Monday Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you chose to take the time to stop on by The Preppy Book Princess today for another book review. I'm Kirby, and I love reading across a variety of different genres, but Christian fiction is my all time favorite. I've been reading Amish fiction titles for over twenty years, and in fact, Beverly Lewis was one of the first authors I ever read within adult Christian fiction. Ever since, I've loved discovering new stories and authors within the Amish fiction genre, and I've definitely found many favorites since. Today's review is going to be for a recently released Amish fiction title that I can't wait to tell you all about. I hope you'll all keep on reading down below for my full review.
