The Preppy Book Princess

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you all had a great New Years, and a great start to 2020. Ever since I first started my book blog back in 2015, I've shared my Christmas book haul with all of you guys. This year I really went back and forth as to whether or not I was going to do one. I know a lot of people think they're tactless, and such, and I totally understand that.  After debating about it for the past week, I finally decided I was going to go ahead and do one anyways. I love looking back on these to remember when I received the books I own and such, and they're kind of just a fun post to get to do. I did decide however to only share the books and bookish items I received, as I felt it would be a bit much to go over each and every gift I received for Christmas this year. As always, I just want to state that Christmas is definitely not about the gifts. It's about the miracle that was the birth of our Savior, and celebrating Jesus. I in no ...

Happy Monday Everyone :) Can you believe Christmas is only nine days away? I can't believe how fast this month seems to have gone by, and I've honestly been questioning how I ever found time to do Blogmas in the years past, as this year it definitely would not have been a possibility. I do still miss sharing some of the things I used to post during Blogmas, like Christmas book reviews, recipes and Day In The Life posts. I decided today I definitely needed to post some more Christmas themed content, so I'm here today with a Christmas book review. I may also still do a Day In The Life post of something over Christmas, so we'll have to wait and see how that goes.

Good Morning Bookish 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. As it gets closer and closer to Christmas, it seems only fitting to share book reviews of some fun Christmas reads with you all. The one I'm going to share today is especially exciting, as not only is it a Christmas story, but it's also a sort of sequel to The Secrets of Paper and Ink,   which I read and reviewed earlier this year, and I loved it. It was extra exciting to get to read another book set within the same community as the first was, and I loved getting to revisit some favorite characters, and be introduced to some new ones as well.

Happy Friday Everyone :) The first week of December is almost over, and it's getting to crunch time for finishing up all your Christmas shopping. I finished the last of mine on Wednesday, and now I've got a pile of things that need to be wrapped, and I'm anxiously awaiting packages I ordered to get here in the mail. I thought for today's post, I'd like to do something a little different. I thought it would be fun to do a bookish gift guide for the book lovers in your life this holiday season. I've got ten items to share with you all today, and hopefully it will give those of you that still have some shopping left to do some ideas. A Signed Copy of their Favorite Book: What's more exciting for a booklover then getting a copy of a book that is signed by their favorite author. Indigo always has a section of signed books on their website,  and I've gotten a few from here before. They're usually not priced higher than the regular book is and...

Happy Wednesday Everyone :) I hope you're all having a great week so far, and that you've gotten to enjoy some quality time with amazing books. My week has been pretty busy; but I have still gotten to enjoy some time  with my hubby, and also some time curled up with some new amazing reads. Can you guys believe that Christmas is just over two months away? That seems crazy, and yet at the same time exciting, as there's nothing I love more than the Christmas season. If you've been reading my blog for awhile, then you'd know that I adore Christmas books. I read new ones each and every year, and since we are getting closer and closer to Christmas, today seemed like the perfect day to review a new one for all you guys.

Hello Bookish 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. Last month I participated in a Christmas in July Readathon, which you can find my wrap up here , and today I thought it would be fun to share with you all a review from one of the favorite books I ended up reading during the readathon. Love Finds You In Frost, Minnesota by Judy Baer: Source: Library Publisher: Summerside Press Publication Date: September 30th, 2013 Genre: Christian Fiction Series: Love Finds You Synopsis: When Jack returns home to Minnesota, he meets the town’s newcomer. She’s bubbly, beautiful . . . and his latest adversary.

Happy Monday Everyone! I hope your week is off to a great start, and that you're finding time to enjoy the last few days of July! If any of you saw from about a week and a half ago, I'd shared my TBR for the Christmas in July readathon I was taking part in. The readathon took place last week, and ended on Saturday, so today I thought it would be fun to share with you all of my results from said readathon. I'm going to list the books in the order in which I enjoyed them the least to the most, and I'll also mention which challenge I used each book for. One Day In December by Josie Silver: I had chosen this one for "a holiday themed read", and I'd heard nothing but great things about it. Unfortunately, my experience with this one was not the slightest bit positive, and it actually ended up getting a rare one star rating from me. You can check out my full review here. A Boy Called Christmas by Matt Haig: This particular title I chose...

Hello Bookish 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'm going to be continuing on today with reviews for the holiday themed reads I read during the Christmas in July readathon I participated in this week. Unfortunately, the title I'm going to be reviewing on my blog today was not only the worst book I read during the readathon, but it's safe to say that it's also easily one of the worst books I've read this entire year. Are you curious as to why that is? Well then keep reading on and I'll tell you all about why this particular title was such a disappointment for me. One Day In December by Josie Silver: Source: Library Publisher: Broadway Books Publication Date: October 16th, 2018 Genre: Women's Fiction Synopsis: T wo people. Ten chances.
