The Preppy Book Princess

Hello Everyone :) I hope you're doing well, and that you all had a fantastic weekend! Unfortunately, mine didn't go quite the way I planned. I came down with an awful virus that's been going around work, and it hit me pretty hard. I spent most of the weekend without any energy to do even the littlest things, and basically I mainly just laid around watching Disney vlogs on YouTube, and making a huge dent in my TBR pile. Thankfully, a bunch of the books I'd ordered from the library came in before the weekend, and one such book is the one I want to review for you all today. The Secret Life of Sarah Hollenbeck by Bethany Turner: Source: Library Publisher: Revell Publication Date: October 3rd, 2017 Genre: Christian Fiction/Chick Lit Synopsis: Becoming a Christian is the best and worst thing that has ever happened to Sarah Hollenbeck. Best because, well, that's obvious. Worst because, up to this point, she's made her very comfortable living ...

Happy Friday Everyone :) Friday means it's once again time for First Line Friday, hosted by the lovely Hoarding Books. For this week's first line, I'm going to be sharing the first line from a book that I'd had recommended to me over and over again, Castle on the Rise by Kristy Cambron, which is of course the sequel to The Lost Castle. About The Book: A storied castle. A band of rebels. And a nation chasing the centuries-old dream of freedom . . .  What legacy will they leave behind? When Laine Forrester travels to France to attend her longtime friend's vineyard wedding, she expects to find a bride on the brink of a fairy-tale life. But after a series of unforeseen setbacks--a devastating diagnosis, a castle restoration put on hold, and the emergence of deep-seated family dynamics that threaten to derail the new couple's fledgling marriage--it seems the storybook life Laine had imagined for her friend--and once, for herself--is suddenly crumbling...

Hello Everyone :) I hope you're all doing well, and I want to thank you for joining me for another book review here on the Preppy Book Princess. February was a month where I ended up finishing quite a few books, most of them were really good, but there were a few that I ended up not enjoying as much as I was hoping to. It seems that for the most part I tend to feature primarily positive reviews on my blog, but every now and then I think it's important to review books I didn't enjoy as well, as it's not possible to love every single book I read. You Won't Know I'm Gone by Kristen Orlando: Source: Library Publisher: Swoon Reads Publication Date: January 16th, 2018 Genre: Young Adult Fiction Series: The Black Angel Chronicles Synopsis: Going rogue in an effort to rescue her kidnapped parents has cost Reagan Hillis her automatic ticket to the Training Academy. But becoming a Black Angel is the only way Reagan will be able to exact reveng...

Good Morning Everyone :) Do any of you ever discover a book that you really love by an already fairly established author, and then decide to go back and read some of their earlier releases? Well, ever since I first read The Life Intended by Kristin Harmel, I'd really been wanting to read more of her books. I ended up reading When We Meet Again  in January, and had a pretty positive experience with it as well. When I discovered that she had written a young adult novel a few years ago that features one of my favorite book tropes-the famous person falling for the regular person-I knew I needed to give it a try. It was such an adorable read, and today I'm excited to share my full review of it with all of you guys. When You Wish by Kristin Harmel: Source: Library Publisher: Delacorte Books For Young Readers Publication Date: February 12th, 2008 Genre: Young Adult Fiction/Contemporary Synopsis: Star Beck is super-duper megastar famous. She rocks–liter...

Hello Bookish Friends :) Since we're already into March, I thought today would be a perfect day to share with you all what books I plan on reading this month. I'm hoping I'll have a great reading month, and have less two star reads than I did in February. Here's the books I'm hoping to get to this month: On a Summer Tide by Suzanne Woods Fisher: I don't know too much about this arc I recently requested from NetGalley, but it sounds like a beautiful contemporary novel with an island setting, and I'm hoping I'll very much enjoy it. Beastly by Alex Flinn: I've really been wanting to reread this one lately. I loved it when I read it for the first time back in 2014, and I'm hoping that I'll love it just as much this time around. Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas: I have yet to read this series, but it's my best friend's all time favorite. She asked if we could do the first book as our March book club pick,...

Happy March all my bookish friends :) I'm happy that we're hopefully well on our way out of the freezing cold temps that seemed to plague my province for most of last month. And since it is already March, it's time to share my wrap up with you all of the books I finished during the month of February. I finished eighteen books during the month of February. Of the eighteen, most of the books I did end up enjoying, although I did still end up having a couple of two star reads unfortunately. As always, my wrap up will be in the order I finished the books, and not in either a best to worst or worst to best order. When You Wish by Kristin Harmel: My first read of February 2019 was this cute Young Adult contemporary novel. I'd really enjoyed the couple of adult fiction titles I'd read by Kristin Harmel, and so when I heard she had a ya novel about a famous teenager falling in love with a regular teenager (which is one of my favorite tropes ever) I knew ...
