The Kindness of Strangers by Susan Meier Review

Good Morning Sweet Friends :)

Wherever you are reading from today, I pray that you're resting in the amazing promises of our Heavenly Father.

I'm so thankful you've decided to join me (Kirby) here on The Preppy Book Princess this morning for another book review.

I'm always happy to welcome you to my little corner of the internet.

A couple of years ago, I began working my way through the multi author Tales From Grace Chapel Inn series, and while the library hasn't had every single title available, I have managed to work my way through quite a few of them.

If you'd like to check out my reviews of previous titles in the series, you can do so using the links below:

My Review:

I always look forward to reading new to me titles in the Tales From Grace Chapel Inn series, as it feels like getting to revisit old friends.

This series overall has been a lovely respite from harsh situations, and gives readers a homey and comfortable story to escape into. That being said, I've definitely enjoyed some titles more than others, and this one didn't end up being a new favorite.

While I did enjoy the emphasis on giving back to your community, and doing the Lord's work wherever you may find yourself, I didn't personally feel that this author knew the characters as well as the previous authors' seemed to, and some of the plot just felt a little out of character. As well, I found the plot was a little bit harder to get into, and this one ended up taking me a little bit longer to finish than is typical for me.

All in all, it's always a lovely treat getting to revisit the cozy town of Acorn Hill, and it's charming residents, and this was still a sweet story that brought a smile to my face. However, it's definitely not my favorite of the series so far, and I don't foresee myself rereading it in the future.

Final Rating: 3/5.

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. Both women are trying to navigate their way through the grief, but neither one is making much progress. Angela is barely making ends meet, angry at her husband for leaving her to raise three children on her own. Meanwhile, Eva is stuck, unable to move forward after losing the love of her life and her source of inspiration. But then Eva gets a life-changing phone call. Befor...
