Happy Monday Everyone :) I hope you all had a great weekend, and I want to thank you all for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess. For today's review, I'm excited to share a review for a book that's the third release in a series of which I'd already read and loved the first two books.

The Christmas Sisters by Sarah Morgan Review

Happy Friday Everyone :) A couple of weeks ago, I participated  in a Christmas In July readathon. I talked about it in a previous blog post which you can find here, and I have to say I really ended up enjoying it for the most part.  It was kind of  fun to sink myself into holiday themed reads during the middle of the heat, humidity and crazy busy times at work, and I may have to do one of these every July. Today I'd like to share a review with you all of one of the books I read for the readathon. This particular title was for the group book challenge. The host of the challenge picked this book for everyone participating to read, and it ended up being a pretty enjoyable read for me for the most part.

July 2019 Reading Wrap Up

Happy Friday Everyone :) Can you believe it's already August? I'm personally excited that fall is just around the corner, but I can definitely understand those that are sad to see summer come to an end as well. Since we are already into August, I thought today would be a fun day to share with you all my reading wrap up from last month. July was a pretty good reading month for me. I read some pretty amazing titles, I took part in a readathon, and I actually finished quite a few books. Here's the books I read in the order in which I finished them. Midnight On The River Grey by Abigail Wilson: This was the perfect read to start off July with. It was an amazing story that kept me guessing right until the end, and I gave it four out of five stars, Full review here. Mandie and the Dangerous Imposters by Lois Gladys Leppard: I always enjoyed the Mandie titles where she'd go to visit Uncle Ned, and this one was no exception. I gave it four out of five ...

Christmas In July Readathon Wrap Up

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...

One Day In December by Josie Silver Review

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. One unforgettable love story. Laurie is pretty sure love at first sight doesn't e...

The Killing Tide by Dani Pettrey Review

Hello Everyone :) How's your week going so far? Mine has been really amazing actually. I've been enjoying the Christmas in July readathon I'm taking part in so very much, and I'm also really enjoying the devotional I'm currently working my way through as well. I've been feeling a lot more inspired about everything lately, and I hope that's also coming across in my more recent blog posts. If you've been following my blog for awhile, then you probably already know that I love Dani Pettrey's novels. They're always deliciously scary, but always have a strong faith element at the core of the story, and that's a fact that's very much appreciated by this Christian book blogger. Her upcoming release was one of my most anticipated releases of 2019, and I'm so thankful to Bethany House for giving me the amazing opportunity to advance read this. Today I'm here to share with all of you what I thought about it! The Kill...
