The Preppy Book Princess

  Hello Friends :) I hope you're all doing well, and I want to thank you all for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess. I'll be the first to admit that I have a lot of favorite authors. There's just too many whose books I love to choose only a couple of names when I'm asked that question.  One of the names on my list of favorite authors though is always Melissa Tagg. Since contemporaries are my favorite stories, it's probably not surprising that she's one of my favorites. I'd actually never gotten around to reading her Christmas novellas (shocking I know!), and since I've been in the mood for Christmas reads lately, hers seemed like a perfect choice. Not surprisingly, I ended up loving this quirky but sweet contemporary story, and today I can't wait to share with you all what I ended up thinking about it.

  Hello Friends :) I hope you're all enjoying these last few days of summer before school goes back, and are happily looking forward to fall. Fall is by far my favorite season of the year, and I always eagerly anticipate it's arrival each and every year. In the fall I find myself wanting to read thriller and suspense novels more as it just seems to fit with the aesthetic of the season, and I'm always a happy camper to pick up new titles by some of my all time favorite Christian suspense authors. I don't think it's possible to be a fan of Christian suspense and not love Colleen Coble's books, and today I'm excited to share with you all my review of her upcoming September release. Two Reasons to Run by Colleen Coble: Source: Publisher via NetGalley Publisher: Thomas Nelson Publication Date: September 8th, 2020 Genre: Christian Fiction/Christian Suspense Series: Pelican Harbor Synopsis: Gripping romantic suspense from  USA TODAY  bestselling author Colleen Cobl...

  Happy Saturday Friends :) I pray that you've all had a great week, and that you're all looking forward to the weekend. I'm still dealing with some of the issues I talked about in Thursday's Scripture of the Week post , but am trying my best to remain positive and wait patiently on Jesus to help me through it all. Since I've been dealing with a lot, I haven't been able to keep to my regular posting schedule the last few days, but I'm really excited about the book I want to talk about with you all today, and I decided to go ahead and post it on Saturday as I just didn't want to wait. The Secrets in Sandcastles by Rachael Bloome: Source: Complimentary Copy Provided by the Author as Part of Her Street Team Publication Date: August 31st, 2020 Genre: Sweet Romance Series: Poppy Creek Synopsis: Penny Heart likes to play it safe.

  Hello Friends :) I've been blogging and reviewing for almost five years already, but there is still a part of me that gets excited every single time I get to advance read a title by one of my favorite authors. When I was approved through NetGalley to read Jaime Jo Wright's upcoming release, I couldn't wait to dive into it. I've loved every single one of her books, and as it's getting closer to the end of summer, I was in the mood for a suspense type of novel as I always feel they are so much more fun to read during the fall season. Today I'm looking forward to sharing with you all what I thought about this upcoming release by one of my favorite authors. The Haunting at Bonaventure Circus by Jaime Jo Wright: Source: Publisher via NetGalley Publisher: Bethany House Publication Date: September 1st, 2020 Genre: Christian Fiction/Christian Suspense Thriller Synopsis: 1928 The Bonaventure Circus is a refuge for many, but Pippa Ripley was rejected from its inner circ...

  Happy Friday Friends :) I hope you're all enjoying the last little bit of summer. Are you sad to see summer come to an end, or are you looking forward to fall? I personally love fall and it's my all time favorite season. However, I always find the changing of the seasons a tad bittersweet, although I'm very much looking forward to all the wonderful things fall brings with it. For today's post, I'm excited to be linking up again with Hoarding Books for another edition of First Line Friday. First Line Friday is a fun, weekly blog meme that simply consists of sharing the first line from the book you're currently reading. For the last little while, I've been trying to focus on reading the many books I've added to my kindle over the last couple of years that I'd never got around to reading, and I've discovered many amazing books in the process. Today's first line comes from the book I most recently started reading on my kindle. A Sweethaven Rom...

  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 Everyone :) Have any of you guys started reading Christmas stories yet? It might seem a little early to be asking this question, but I'm definitely one of the type of people who can read Christmas stories really at any time throughout the year. Usually September is when the new Christmas stories for each year start releasing, and today I'm excited to share my review with you all of an upcoming Christmas novella collection. A Joyful Christmas: 6 Historical Stories by Cynthia Hickey, Liz Johnson, Vickie McDonough, Liz Tolsma, Carrie Turansky, and Erica Vetsch: Source: Publisher via NetGalley Publisher: Barbour Books Publication Date: September 1st, 2020 Genre: Christian Fiction/Historical Fiction/Christmas Stories/Novellas Synopsis: A Christmas Collection to Warm the Heart Grab a warm cup of tea and watch as romance is kindled and joy is restored to broken lives during six bygone era Christmas celebrations.   A Christmas Castle  by Cynthia Hickey Married by proxy in...

Hello Friends :) I hope you're all doing well, and I want to thank you all for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess. It's been a bit of a tough few days for me personally. I've been dealing with some personal stuff that's kind of dragged my spirits down a bit, but I'm so thankful for Jesus during all these hard times as I know He is always always there for me. With His help I know I can get through anything that comes my way, and I'm forever grateful. One of my favorite things to do when I'm having a tough week is read Christian fiction. I love how uplifting these books are, and since it's August I thought it seemed like the perfect time to go ahead and start reading some of the Christmas ARCs that I currently have from NetGalley. I'm one of those weird people that can read Christmas stories all year long, but I especially enjoy getting to read them in the months leading up to Christmas. Today I'm excited to be shar...
