The Preppy Book Princess

  Hello Friends :) Can you believe that August is almost already over? I'm personally never too sad to see summer come to an end. Fall is by far my favorite season, and the time period from September through December is my favorite part of the year. However, this summer really seemed to go by fast. Possibly this was due to all the craziness that currently exists within our world, but whatever the reason, it seems a little crazy to me that it's already almost time to start decorating for fall. My hubby is taking some vacation days in September, and while we're not ending up with the big Disney vacation that we'd started planning back in December, we are still looking forward to a few days away, and some time to read and relax. If you also have a relaxing vacation coming up and you're looking for a great read to curl up with, then you definitely want to stay tuned for today's book review.

Hello Bookish Friends :) I hope you're all doing well, and I want to thank you for joining me  here on The Preppy Book Princess. I've been seeing the Mid Year Freak Out Tag pop on up the bookternet at this time of year ever since I first started blogging. However, I've actually never participated in it before, and I decided that this was the year I needed to go ahead and change that. What is the best book that you've read so far in 2020? Nicole Deese is a fantastic storyteller, and I'm still thinking about this heartwrenching story months after finishing it. I loved Joshua and Lauren's romance, and the light that is shone on adoption, and families being more than just blood. I have a feeling this may end up being my favorite book of the entire year. What has been your favorite sequel of the first half of the year? I adored this one, and ended up loving it just as much as I did the first book in the series. I can't wait to read Grace's story later this ye...
