Home for the Holidays by Rebecca Kelly 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.

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

It's a such a heartwarming, faith filled small town series, and I've been enjoying working my way through the many titles.

My Review:

Tales From Grace Chapel Inn has become a new favorite for me, and Home for the Holidays ended up being my favorite story of the series so far. As wonderful as all the stories have been, there was just something special about getting to visit Grace Chapel Inn during the holiday season, and follow along with Alice, Jane and Louise as their long awaited "vacation" from guests turns out to be anything but.

When five visitors to Acorn Hill end up being stranded, the three sisters decide to do their part to try and make them welcome. This starts off as offering their services as tour guides to some of the local historic homes, and turns into the sisters having unexpected house guests. As they all struggle to come to terms with the fact that this Christmas is going to be unlike anything they could have imagined, they'll also learn what it means to have a true spirit of giving, and show hospitality to those in need this holiday season.

A truly wonderful story that will give every reader a case of the warm fuzzies, I never wanted this one to end, and I'm so glad I read it during the Christmas season. I loved how many new to me historical tidbits I learned from reading it, and I also loved how it touched on some more emotional moments from the sisters' precious memories of their childhood Christmas memories.

Final Rating: 5/5.

I adored this heartwarming story, and I can't recommend it enough. I'm also looking forward to trying to included beef stroganoff recipe in the very near future.

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.
