  Good Morning Sweet Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you've taken the time to drop on by The Preppy Book Princess today for another book review. I'm Kirby, and I always look forward to welcoming you to my little bookish corner of the internet. Unfortunately, it's been awhile since my last post, and that's because this week has been a bit of a humdinger. On Thursday night my husband went to the emergency room for what we though was a small issue that should be easily treated. Unfortunately, instead he ended up being rushed in for emergency surgery the next day, and everything's been a whirlwind since. I'm beyond thankful that he's doing well, and it was nothing life threatening, but it's definitely been a hard week, and I needed to take some time off to step back and be there for him. He's still sore and recuperating, but I'm going to pop on here and try and get a quick review up for you all. I hope you...

Merry Christmas in July my Bookish Lovelies! I've been planning for quite awhile to do a Christmas in July series on my blog, as I have so many Christmas book reviews saved on my computer that I really didn't want to wait until November/December to share. So while I'm still not sure how many times I'm going to be able to post in the next few weeks, I've decided that other than the ARC reviews I'll need to share on a specific timeline, the rest of this month will be devoted to Christmas reviews.  I hope you'll join me for this fun series! Today's review is going to be for a fun collection of children's stories I stumbled upon at the used bookstore one day, and I hope you'll all keep reading down below for my full review.

I'm Kirby, and I'm thrilled to have you here on my little bookish corner of the internet.
