Keeping Christmas by Allison Pittman Review

  Good Morning Bookish Lovelies :) 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 today for another book review. It's been a couple of long crazy weeks, and unfortunately that means my blogging time has been practically non existent. However, I wanted to get at least one more Christmas in July post up before the end of the month for you all, and that's exactly what I'm here to share today.  Today's review is a review that I'm particularly excited to share with you all, and that's primarily for two reasons. 1) I love getting to share about books during the Christmas season (or the Christmas in July season) that highlight the true reason for the season, and this one definitely does. 2) If you didn't already know this about me, which I'm sure some of you don't, I absolutely adore A Christmas Carol. I've read and watched so many variations and spin offs over the years wi...

Pollyanna by Eleanor H. Porter Review

  Good Morning 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 today for another book review. I'm Kirby, and I'm excited to welcome you to my little corner of the internet. At the start of last year, I made a bit of a bucket list for 2024.  enjoyed checking off some of the items on the list as the months went on, and one of the items I had included was to read two new to me classic novels. I adore classic novels, but I can kind of get into the habit of just rereading my favorites over and over again instead of giving new ones a try. A few months prior, I read The Wizard of Oz for the first time (review here ), and I adored it. I decided to go with a children's classic for my second pick as well, and I finally got around to reading Pollyanna. I've been wanting to read this book for the longest time, and it was everything I could have possibly hoped for. I hope you'll all ...

The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum Review

  Hello 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 today for another book review. I'm Kirby, and I'm so happy you're here. At the start of 2024, I made a kind of bucket list for the year if you will. I included 29 things that I wanted to complete during the year, and I didn't really talk about it here on my blog. Primarily this was because a lot of it was personal, and weren't things I was comfortable sharing publicly, but one of the things on the list was to read two new to me classic novels. I adore the classics, but lately I seem to just be rereading favorites instead of giving new ones a try. Since The Wizard of Oz was sitting on my shelf, it seemed like the perfect one to start out with. I wholeheartedly enjoyed getting to read this beloved title, and today I can't wait to share with you guys what I ended up thinking about it. Keep reading down below for to...
