The Preppy Book Princess

  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. I've been a little more quiet than usual on social media the last couple of weeks, and that's mainly because my family has been going through a lot. I've been trying to stay focused on Him throughout everything, and have needed just a little step away from all of my socials. Other than bible study, prayer and praise and worship, one of my favorite ways to stay motivated through darker times is to read Christian fiction books. I love reading about characters going through a journey of faith, and I'm excited to share today's review with you all. For today's review, I'm going to be sharing all about Janette Oke and Laurel Oke Logan's most recent release. Janette Oke is such a nostalgic author for me, as she was literally one of the first authors I started reading when I first starting picking up adult...

  Hello Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well. Before I jump into today's post, I just wanted to say that my heart is breaking for the situation in our world right now. There's so much evil and so much brokenness, and all of us need Jesus whether we immediately realize it or not. My prayers are with the people of Ukraine, and also with every person who has yet to meet Jesus as their personal Savior.  If you have something specific you'd appreciate prayers for, I'd love the chance to pray for you. Drop me a comment below, or send me an email through my email listed in the contact page.  Now let's jump right in to today's post. Whenever I have time around my review books, I've really been enjoying my reread of the Cape Light series that was originally written by Thomas Kinkade and Katherine Spencer, and since Thomas Kinkade's passing, is written solely by Katherine Spencer. If you'd like to check out my reviews of other books in the series, ...

I finished the evening by playing Dutch Blitz with my mom and my nephew, and it was a lovely way to spend an evening during the holidays. I look forward to doing some more Christmassy things today after work, but beforehand, I'm excited to share another review with you all. Back in the spring of 2016, I had the pleasure of getting to meet Rachel Hauck at the RT Booklover's Convention.
