Merry Christmas in July my Bookish Lovelies! I've been planning for quite awhile to do a Christmas in July series on my blog, as I have so many Christmas book reviews saved on my computer that I really didn't want to wait until November/December to share. So while I'm still not sure how many times I'm going to be able to post in the next few weeks, I've decided that other than the ARC reviews I'll need to share on a specific timeline, the rest of this month will be devoted to Christmas reviews.  I hope you'll join me for this fun series! Today's review is going to be for a fun collection of children's stories I stumbled upon at the used bookstore one day, and I hope you'll all keep reading down below for my full review.

  Good Morning Sweet Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you chose to take the time to stop on by The Preppy Book Princess today for another book review. I have to admit that I'm one of those weirdos that reads Christmas books all year long. I love getting the chance to temporarily step back into my favorite season, especially when there's tough things going on in my life. However, I can't deny that there's something extra special about getting to read these titles during the Christmas season itself, and so today seemed like the perfect day to share this review with you all in case any of you are currently on the lookout for Christmas themed reads to fill your TBR during the next few weeks. I hope you'll all keep reading down below for today's full review.

  Happy Wednesday Sweet Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you've taken the time to drop on by The Preppy Book Princess this morning for another book review. I'm Kirby, and I'm thrilled to have you here on my little bookish corner of the internet. Life's starting to get a little crazy around here with the many things that the Christmas season brings with it, and I'm sure it's the same for many of you guys. Other than spending time with Jesus, one of my favorite ways to take a momentary step back from the craziness is to curl up with some wonderful Christmas reads. I recently had the chance the reread a Christmas story that I remember loving several years back. I felt a little bit differently about it this time around, and since I never reviewed it on my blog the first time, I thought I'd go ahead and do so this time. I hope you'll all keep reading down below and join me today for another book review. Christmas with ...

This Christmas season, I've had the immense pleasure of getting to work my way through some of the titles from the multi author Christmas in Redemption Ridge series.

Ever since I read the first title in the Cape Light series back in 2008, it's been one of my all time favorites. These books actually hold a lot of memories for me, as yeah that first time I read them back in 2008? Well it happened to be while I was lying in a hospital bed for the first of many visits to try and figure out what was wrong with me. In such a scary, uncertain time, I loved getting to read about a small town where faith, family and friendships have stood the test of time, and I...

We're going to be continuing on today with the five days of book reviews. and today brings us to review number two.  It may still be August, it may still be summer, and it may seem like a weird time to be thinking about Christmas, but today officially marks my first review of the 2023 Christmas releases.

  Hello Everyone :) 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. You may think it's a little strange that I'm sharing a Christmas book review with you all during the middle of April, but I have to say that it seemed like a perfectly fitting time to do so. See our area got a huge snowstorm last night, and my yard currently looks like it's already for Christmas to come around again. My mom and I had appointments in the city yesterday, and neither one of us was expecting to have drive home in the middle of snow flurries. Spring around here can bring with it some crazy circumstances I tell ya. But anyways, long winded intro aside, let's dive right into today's review.  Today's review is going to be of a fun, Christmas themed novella collection from one of my recently discovered favorite authors, and I can't wait to tell you all about it.

I'm Kirby, and if you didn't already know, I absolutely adore Christmas books. It's officially December, and I'm ready to start sharing all the Christmas reviews. Of course, I will still have some non Christmas reads to share with you all this month as well, but I'm hoping to get to share many reviews of Christmas themed reads before the end of December.  A couple of years ago, I had read and loved the first title in Melissa Tagg's Enchanted Christmas collection. You can check out that review below: One Enchanted Christmas I always wanted to go back and read the other titles in the series, and I finally had the chance to do so.
