The Preppy Book Princess

  Happy May Friends :) 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. I can't believe we're already into a new month. Lately I've found that the time seems to be slipping by even faster than normal, and it's reminding me just how important it truly is to try and enjoy each and every day. One of my favorite ways to do this is by reading amazing stories whenever I have the free time to do so, and today, strange as it may sound, I'm here to share my review of a Christmas themed read with you all. I adore reading Christmas books all year long, especially when I'm having a hard time as I find they really give me a nice case of the warm fuzzies.  I recently finished Sheila Roberts' newest Christmas release, and today I'm here to share with you all what I ended up thinking about it.

  Happy Thursday Friends :) I pray today finds you all well, and I want to thank you all for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess. I'm personally really looking forward to this weekend. Monday is Thanksgiving here in Canada, and my mom is hosting our family Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday. I always enjoy helping her with it, and ever since moving out so many years ago, I always have fun preparing a few different dishes to take with me to her place. This year I've been going through many recipes trying to decide what to make, and I can't wait to get to work in the kitchen in the following days. Before I jump into all that though, I thought it would be fun to share a bonus extra book review with you all this week. Last year, around this same time, I read my first novel by Jane Kirkpatrick (review here ), and it wasn't, unfortunately, a positive experience for me. I was really wanting to try another one of her books, to give them another chance...

  Happy Friday Friends :) 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.

Today I'm excited to be sharing with you all my review of the fourth book in D.E Malone's Blueberry Point Romance series.

  Happy Friday Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and that you're all enjoying the teaser to the start of one of my all time favorite seasons. While I know that fall does not officially begin until September 22nd, September 1st always seems like the start of it to me, and I'm already loving the leaves changing color and the cooler temperatures.

  Happy Thursday Friends :) I'm actually here a day early to share with you my most recent book review, as I have some fun plans for the next couple of days that would make posting a little more difficult. I'm actually going to the city with my family for a couple of days, and I'm especially looking forward to getting to go swimming with my nephews. We will be leaving here in a couple of hours, but before I left I wanted to share one more book review with you all.

If you've read my blog before, then you'd probably know that I love dual timeline novels.

Happy Monday Friends :) I hope you all had a great weekend, and that you're looking forward to the week ahead. I actually ended up spending the majority of my weekend in my house as we're going through another heatwave, and I just didn't feel like dealing with it. Because of this, I was actually able to finish 3 books over the course of the weekend, and today I'm excited to share my review of one of those books with you all. It may seem funny to have been reading a Christmas book during a heatwave, but it worked for me, and I'm here to tell you all about it. The Mistletoe Countess by Pepper D.

Happy Wednesday Friends :) I pray 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. Today has already been a really awful day for me, and not going to lie, I've spent a large portion of it in tears. However, as easy as it is to focus on the bad, I really don't want to do so, and instead, I want to focus on sharing a new book review with you all of a title from a series that is quickly becoming a favorite for me. That series is the multi author Doors to the Past series, and today I'm excited to share my review of the upcoming fourth book. Keep reading to see what I thought of this upcoming release.

  Happy Friday Friends :) I hope this week has found you well, and that you're all looking forward to the weekend. I apologize for my absence this week. I ended up spending five nights at the lake with my family, and while I had still planned on posting on my blog, the weak and spotty Wi-Fi made that a no go. However, it was really nice to get to disconnect for a few days, and spend some time with my family. I  had so much fun with my nephew, my mom, my stepdad, and enjoyed the short visits we were able to have with some of my other family as well. While we were on vacation, I ended up getting a chance to read Amy Clipston's upcoming contemporary novel, and I couldn't wait to share with you all what I ended up thinking about it. The Heart of Splendid Lake by Amy Clipston: Source: Publisher via NetGalley Publisher: Thomas Nelson Publication Date: September 14th, 2021 Genre: Christian Fiction/Contemporary Synopsis: Bestselling author Amy Clipston transports readers to ...

  Happy Wednesday Friends :) I want to thank you all for following along on this Christmas in July series on my blog, and today I'm excited to get to bring to you all the tenth and final post in the series. I had promised at the start of this series, that I would be including a couple of upcoming Christmas book releases for this year in the reviews, and since I shared one of these reviews as the first post in the series, it made sense to save the other one for the last post. I hope you all enjoy my last Christmas in July review, and that you'll all end up taking a chance on this upcoming release. I truly adored it, and I can't wait to tell you all about it.
