The Preppy Book Princess

  Good Morning Everyone :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you decided to take the time to drop by The Preppy Book Princess for another book review today. I'm Kirby, and I'm excited to welcome you to my little corner of the internet. A couple of years ago, I stumbled upon the multi author Tales From Grace Chapel Inn series, and ever since, I've been trying to work my way through as many of the titles as I can find. It's a slightly older series, so my library hasn't had every title available, but I have had the opportunity to read quite a few so far. If you're interested in checking out those reviews, you can find them all under the Tales From Grace Chapel Inn label at the bottom of this post. Otherwise, I hope you'll all keep on reading down below for my review of the most recent title I had the opportunity to finish.

  Hello Everyone :) 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. If you're familiar with my blog, then you'd know that my primary reading genre of choice is Christian fiction. However, I used to be a huge fan of young adult fiction, and every so often I get the urge to give another one of these (secular) young adult titles a try. The one I'm going to share with you today had me intrigued, and I decided to give it a go. Keep reading down below to discover if it ended up living up to my expecations.

  Hello Bookish Lovelies :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so excited you've decided to drop on by The Preppy Book Princess for another book review. Can I just start out today's post by stating how thankful I am for the Christian fiction genre? I know it has its faults, especially the downward trend of newer published titles diminishing the faith content, but I'm so grateful I can pick up wonderful reads that are clean and honor our Lord, and give me the opportunity to continue to nurture my love of the written word, without compromising my faith to do so. That being said, let's dive right into today's review of another wonderful title from this genre. I've been (slowly) working my way through the wonderful multi author Tales From Grace Chapel Inn, and I've already reviewed quite a few of these titles on my blog. You can check out those reviews below: Back Home Again Going to the Chapel Recipes and Wooden Spoons Hidden History Winter Wond...

  Happy Monday Bookish Lovelies :) Thank you so much for joining me (Kirby) here on The Preppy Book Princess for another book review.

  Happy Wednesday Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I want to thank you all for joining me another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess. If I'm being honest, this week has been a bit of a rough one so far. We've had several big, unexpected expenses fall on our doorstep, and there's been also a bit of hurtful drama that's definitely caused some stress and hurt feelings. However, I'm so thankful for Jesus through all of these tough times, and I'm honestly not sure how people who don't know Him make it through all of life's challenges. I'm trying my best to focus on my blessings rather than on the bad stuff, and one of those blessings is the many Christian fiction titles I get to read and review for all of you. I recently had the chance to read a wonderful Christian historical fiction title that I can't wait to tell you all about it, and I hope you'll all keep reading down below for my full review.

  Happy Monday Everyone :) I pray 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. Before I jump right into today's review, I want to take a minute and say that my prayers are with everyone affected by the horrific shooting in Allen Texas this past weekend. It's unimaginable that this kind of evil has struck again, and I pray over that entire region, and I ask that you would all do the same. As well, my prayers are with everyone who has been evacuated and endangered from the dangerous wildfires rampaging throughout Alberta and Saskatchewan right now. This entire situation has also been weighing heavily on my heart, and I pray for everyone's safety, including the residents, the volunteers, and the many first responders risking their own lives to try and fight against the out of control blazes. I'm feeling extremely blessed to be safe in my home this morning, and it's a reminder of just h...
