The Preppy Book Princess

  Hello Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you chose to stop by The Preppy Book Princess today for another book review. If I'm being honest, today has been an absolute trainwreck! I got some absolutely horrible news from my job, my husband had a lot of work drama of his own, and we got some devastating personal news this week as well. I'm also trying to type this up while attempting to put a spaghetti dinner on the table for my hubby and I after a long day at work, and if I'm being completely honest, I'm not in the greatest mood. However, I know that we all have these days, and I'm trying to overcome the ickiness by counting my blessings, spending time with Jesus, and curling up with some really amazing books.  Which leads me right into today's review. Previously I had read Christmas from the Heart of the Home by Susan Branch (review here), and I didn't end up loving it as much as I expected to. I was still wanting to ...

I'm Kirby, and I'm so excited to welcome you all to my little bookish corner of the internet.

  Hello Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you took the time to join me here today on The Preppy Book Princess. Over the last few months, I've been trying to work my way through the many piles of unread books in my home library. If I feel something seems inappropriate or perhaps even blasphemous to my faith, it'll be discarded, but the rest I've been trying to finally make a dent in. Unfortunately, today's review comes from one of these titles that ended up being a pretty disappointing experience. I'll be sharing my full review down below, but I will say ahead of time that I do not recommend picking this one up if you're also a Christian reader who is trying to find clean titles that don't contain inappropriate content.

I'm Kirby, and this is my bookish world, where I get to share all about the wonderful and not so wonderful books I've been reading as of late. A little awhile ago, I decided to dive into reading more of L.M. Montgomery's books, as the Anne of Green Gables series has always been a favorite, and yet I hadn't read too much by her outside of those. This has been such a fun journey, and I'm honestly loving getting to visit more of her beautiful writing.

  Happy Monday Bookish Lovelies :) I hope you all had a wonderful weekend, and I'm so thankful you've decided to start your week off by stopping by my little corner of the internet. My weekend was pretty crazy busy (thanks to work being insane), but I loved getting to spend Sunday having quality time with Jesus and my hubby, and curling up with some wonderful reads. Since we got kind of a huge unexpected snowstorm over the weekend, I was especially grateful for great reads to curl up with inside out of the cold.  One of those wonderful reads is one that I'm hear to tell you all about today. I'm looking forward to sharing this particular review, and I hope you'll all keep reading down below to hear what I ended up thinking about this particular title.

If I'm being honest, the past week was a little bit of a doozy around here! Work's been crazy, life's been crazier, and I'm so thankful that Jesus is always with me no matter the circumstances. To get a bit of an escape from all the craziness, I've been enjoying ending my evenings with devotionals with my hubby, and curling up with some great Christian fiction titles. I recently had the chance to read my first ever full length novel by one of the most prominent authors within the Amish fiction genre, and today I can't wait to tell you guys all about it.
