Something Old, Something New by Jane Orcutt 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.

Last year, I ended up stumbling upon the multi author Tales From Grace Chapel Inn series, and I've been enjoying working my way through the many titles within this series ever since.

(synopsis from goodreads)




My Review:

I always look forward to picking up a new to me title in the multi author Tales From Grace Chapel Inn series, and I was especially looking forward to reading my first ever title by the late Jane Orcutt. This was definitely another wonderful story full of all the warm fuzzies and heartwarming moments that this series is known for. It was the perfect book to curl up with on a cold winter's night, and was lovely to get to check back in with the three Howard sisters and the slightly eclectic townspeople of Acorn Hill.

I will say, however, that while I did enjoy this story overall, it wasn't my personal favorite of the series so far. I wasn't the biggest fan of either the genealogy or the wedding storylines, but I did wholeheartedly enjoy the visiting author, and all the chaos that comes along with her. 

I appreciate that these titles can really be read in any order, and I also appreciate how romance isn't really the focus, and instead it's on faith, family and friendship.

Final Rating: 4/5.

I'm looking forward to continuing on with more titles in the series, and I'd highly recommend this series for anyone who is a fan of small town faith based series.


Thanks so much for reading guys! Have a great rest of your day :)

First Line Friday: Courting Mr. Emerson

Happy Friday Everyone :) Since it is Friday, I'll once again be participating in First Line Friday which is hosted by Hoarding Books .  For this week, I'm going to be sharing the first line from Melody Carlson's newest book, Courting Mr. Emerson. About The Book: When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause--and finds herself falling for him in the process. A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often. He's not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them. But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The quest...

First Line Friday: The Inheritance

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you're all had a great week and that you're staying safe no matter where you are. I haven't been leaving my house much lately other than for work, and because of this, I've had lots of reading time on my hands. Last year my hubby and I took a road trip that included a visit to our favorite bookstore, and we decided to each pick a book that wouldn't be our first choice. The purpose was to try and read something that still interested us, but would maybe be a bit different than what we would typically go for first. My pick ended up being The Inheritance by Michael Phillips, a book I actually ended up being quite excited about, despite never having heard of it prior. Unfortunately, it ended up sitting on my bookshelf ever since, and I'm so thankful I finally got the opportunity to pick it up and start reading it this past week. The Inheritance by Michael Phillips: About the Book: The death of the clan patriarch h...
