Olivia Twist by Lorie Langdon Review

Good Morning Everyone :) I hope you're all doing well, and thank you for joining me here today on The Preppy Book Princess. A few weeks ago I read (and loved) the Doon series by Carey Corp and Lorie Langdon. So when I heard that Lorie Langdon had a new book that was basically a YA re imagining of Oliver Twist, I was intrigued, and knew I wanted to give it a try. Today I'd like to share a quick review with you all about my thoughts of it. Olivia Twist by Lorie Langdon: Source: Library Publisher: Blink Publication Date: March 6th, 2018 Genre: Young Adult Fiction/Historical Fiction Synopsis: Olivia Brownlow is no damsel in distress.

When she is taken in by her uncle after a caper gone wrong, her life goes from fighting and stealing on the streets to lavish dinners and soirees as a debutante in high society. But she can’t seem to escape h...

Any Dream Will Do by Debbie Macomber Review

Good Morning Bookish Friends :) I hope you're all doing well. As I'm sure many of you are aware, Debbie Macomber is one of my all time favorite authors. She'd actually had a couple of recent book releases that I had yet to read, so I really wanted to try and get to them last month. One of these such books is the one I'm going to be reviewing for you all today.

Now, determined to start fresh, she finds herself in search of a place to stay and wanders into a church to escape from the cold. Pastor Drew Douglas adored his wife. But when he...

The Secret Life of Sarah Hollenbeck by Bethany Turner Review

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 ...
