Happily Ever After by Denise Hunter Review

  Hello Bookish Lovelies :) Happy Good Friday! I pray today that we're all able to spend time reflecting on what this day and this week truly means. Thank you so much for joining me (Kirby) here on the Preppy Book Princess today for another book review. For the past little while, I've been sharing my reviews of the Smitten novellas included in the Smitten Book Club bindup. Most of these have been a lovely send off to the series, and if you'd like to check out my reviews of the first three titles in this bind up, you can do so using the links below: Love by the Book by Colleen Coble Shelved Under Romance by Kristin Billerbeck A New Chapter by Diann Hunt Today's review is going to be for the final installment in this fun novella series, and I was especially looking forward to how everything was going to wrap up, and since Denise Hunter is one of my favorite authors, I knew she'd do a fantastic job.

Laura's Shadow by Allison Pittman Review

  Hello Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you decided to drop by The Preppy Book Princess for another book review today. If you've been reading my blog for awhile, then you'd probably be quite familiar with my love for the multi author Doors to the Past series.  It's been such a wonderful treat to get to read about so many beloved pieces and people of history, and how the authors tie it all into mysteries concerning both the past and the present. I've read and reviewed quite a few of the titles in this series on my blog already, and if you're interested in checking out any of those reviews, you can do so using the links below: The Lady in Residence by Allison Pittman Hope Between the Pages by Pepper D.

Shelved Under Romance by Kristin Billerbeck Review

  Hello Bookish Lovelies :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you decided to drop by my little corner of the internet. Here on The Preppy Book Princess, I love sharing about my love of Jesus and books, and I especially love sharing about books that keep Jesus at the front and center of them. I've recently been working my way through the last four novellas in the Smitten Novellas series which is written by four pretty well known Christian fiction authors. These particular novellas comprise the bind up, Smitten Book Club, and I've been enjoying working my way through them. If you'd like to check out my review of the first novella from this particular bind up, you can do so using the link below, otherwise keep on reading down below to read my review of the second novella.

  Hello Bookish Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you decided to drop on by The Preppy Book Princess today. I'm Kirby, and I'm excited to welcome you.

We Have This Moment by Diann Hunt Review

  Hello Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you decided to join me today on The Preppy Book Princess. Grab yourself a cup of tea, wrap up in a warm blanket, and settle in to read my review of a cozy, faith based read that I am going to be highly recommending. I started reading the Tales from Grace Chapel Inn series about halfway through 2022, and I've honestly enjoyed every title I've read. I love how cozy and atmospheric the series is, I think it's wonderful how many authors have contributed to this series, and just how well their voices blend, and I think it's also a refreshing change to have a Christian fiction series where romance doesn't play a huge focus. I've reviewed quite a few of these titles on my blog already, and if you're interested in checking those ones out, you can do so using the links below: Back Home Again Going to the Chapel Recipes and Wooden Spoons Hidden History Winter Wonders Home for the Holiday...

Love by the Book by Colleen Coble Review

  Hello Bookish Lovelies :) 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 recently had a chance to finally finish a book series that I started quite awhile ago, and I honestly can't believe I waited so long to finish it. The Smitten novellas are a wonderful collection of stories from four of the best authors in the Christian fiction genre, and I'd read the first two collections (consisting of novellas 1-8) a couple of years back, but I'd never gotten around to reading the last collection. I'm so thankful I recently had the chance to change that, and today I'd like to share my review of novella number nine with you all. Keep on reading down below to find out what I ended up thinking about it.

The Room on Rue Amelie by Kristen Harmel Review

  Hello Everyone :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you decided to drop by The Preppy Book Princess for another book review. I'm Kirby, and I'm so grateful you're here. The Preppy Book Princess has been my little bookish corner of the internet since September 2015, and I continue to love getting to share my thoughts about the many books I read with you all. Up until a couple of years ago, If anyone had asked me what my favorite time period to read in historical fiction was, I would have without a doubt said World War Two. Unfortunately, as of late, I haven't had much luck with a lot of the titles within this genre, and it's kind of kept me back from reading as many within because of the fact they just haven't been as good. However, when I stumbled upon this particular title, I was definitely intrigued. I'd had wonderful experiences with a couple of this author's titles in the past, and I was hopeful that it would end up bei...

The Rose and the Thistle by Laura Frantz Review

  Happy Monday Bookish Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you decided to stop by The Preppy Book Princess for another book review today. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Yesterday was actually my birthday, and after an extremely rough start to it, I ended up getting to go to the city for a few hours with my husband, my mom and stepdad, and my nephew. We had a wonderful Chinese food dinner, got to soak for a couple of hours at a lovely mineral spa, and finished out the evening with ice cream before heading back home. I was thankful for such a relaxing way to get to spend my birthday, and now I'm thrilled to be back blogging today to share with you all about a wonderful Christian historical fiction title that I recently finished. This was another one of the titles from my 2023 Most Anticipated Releases Post , and  I can't wait to tell you guys all about this one, so keep on reading down below for today's full review.
