The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum Review

  Hello Sweet 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. I'm Kirby, and I'm so happy you're here. At the start of 2024, I made a kind of bucket list for the year if you will. I included 29 things that I wanted to complete during the year, and I didn't really talk about it here on my blog. Primarily this was because a lot of it was personal, and weren't things I was comfortable sharing publicly, but one of the things on the list was to read two new to me classic novels. I adore the classics, but lately I seem to just be rereading favorites instead of giving new ones a try. Since The Wizard of Oz was sitting on my shelf, it seemed like the perfect one to start out with. I wholeheartedly enjoyed getting to read this beloved title, and today I can't wait to share with you guys what I ended up thinking about it. Keep reading down below for to...

Circle of Shadows by Evelyn Skye Review

  Hello Sweet 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. Young Adult Fiction used to be one of my all time favorite genres, and yet lately, I've found this genre to be pretty hit or miss for me personally. I'm not a fan of the darker content starting to make it's way much more often into this genre, and often I'm left quite disappointed with how often this ends up being the case. I recently had the chance to read a new to me fantasy title from an author I've enjoyed in the past, and today I can't wait to tell you all about the experience. Keep reading down below for today's full review.

Love, Life and the List by Kasie West Review

  Good Morning Sweet 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. I used to read a lot of young adult fiction. It was my favorite genre, and I read hundreds and hundreds of titles within this genre. Now I probably only read a few in the course of an entire year, and that's mainly because the content in these books now is absolutely atrocious!  One author who, except for one or two exceptions, continues to keep her books fairly clean is Kasie West. She's always been one of my all time favorite authors, and I still have a few of her books sitting on my shelf I have yet to get to. It seemed like the perfect time to change that, so I decided to dive right in and give this one a chance. Keep reading to find out if it was a success or another disappointment.

Today's post is a particular fun one for me to share with you all today as the author kept this book release entirely secret until release day which is today! I know you guys are all going to love this heartwarming Christian romance title, and I can't wait to tell you all about it. However, if you'd first like to check out my review of the previous title in the series, you can do so using the link below: The One Who Risked It Al...

Unleashed by Nancy Holder and Debbie Viguie Review

  Hello 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. In 2024, I've found myself continuing the trend of trying to read some of the books that have been sitting on my shelves for quite sometime. Unfortunately, that often means I'm reading books I don't enjoy as much or just choosing to straight get rid of others since I've become quite a bit pickier about the type of content I'm allowing myself to consume as a Christian reader. However, if I find a title that still looks okay, I go ahead and read it, and as of late, this has usually been met with disastrous results. Today's review is for one of these titles, and I hope you'll keep on reading down below to find out if it ended up being another bust or not.
