The Preppy Book Princess

  Good Morning Bookish Lovelies :) It's another wonderful day, and I'm thrilled that I get to start my day by spending it with you all. I love getting to chat about books, especially Christian fiction, and I'd love if it you'd drop me a comment at the end of the post if you've read this title I'm going to be talking about today and/or you're wanting to read this title. This particular author is a new to me author, and I actually stumbled upon this title on the clearance shelf when I visited a certain Christian bookstore for the first time. I was intrigued by the synopsis, and I decided to go ahead and purchase it, and give it a try. I hope you'll keep on reading down below to join me for today's full review.

  Happy Friday Friends :) I pray you've all had a wonderful week, and that you're all looking forward to the weekend. My week has been slightly on the stressful side and our area has also been under extreme heat warnings for the past few days. Needless to say, I've been enjoying spending some time curled up with my book in our nice air conditioned house. I'm not the biggest fan of summer in general, although there is always something to appreciate about each of the distinct seasons that our Heavenly Father has blessed us with. Today I'm going to be sharing with you all my review of a recently released Christian historical fiction title, set during World War Two. I hope you'll all keep reading down below to find out what I ended up thinking about this much hyped book by other book bloggers. Until Our Time Comes by Nicole C.

  Happy Friday Sweet Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you've taken the time to join me (Kirby) here on The Preppy Book Princess today for another book review. Life can be pretty tough as of late, and other than spending time in Bible study and prayer, one of my favorite things to do to help lift my spirits is to indulge in fiction that honors our Heavenly Father. I know I can expect great things whenever I choose to pick up a Sarah Sundin novel, and I was highly anticipating reading her new release. Today I can't wait to tell you guys all about it, so I hope you'll keep reading below and join me for today's full review.

  Hello Everyone :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you decided to drop by The Preppy Book Princess for another book review. I'm Kirby, and I'm so grateful you're here. The Preppy Book Princess has been my little bookish corner of the internet since September 2015, and I continue to love getting to share my thoughts about the many books I read with you all. Up until a couple of years ago, If anyone had asked me what my favorite time period to read in historical fiction was, I would have without a doubt said World War Two. Unfortunately, as of late, I haven't had much luck with a lot of the titles within this genre, and it's kind of kept me back from reading as many within because of the fact they just haven't been as good. However, when I stumbled upon this particular title, I was definitely intrigued. I'd had wonderful experiences with a couple of this author's titles in the past, and I was hopeful that it would end up bei...

  Good Morning Bookish Lovelies :) 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 can't believe it's already the first week of December! It feels like fall literally just happened, and suddenly Christmas is going to be upon us in a few weeks. I love this time of year that celebrates the most amazing gift any of us could ever have received, and I pray you're all taking time to reflect on the true meaning for the season. Usually at this time of year, I prefer to share reviews of heartwarming Christmas themed reads, and that's what I will be doing again this year for the most part. However, I'm stepping away from that today to share my review of a recently released Christian historical fiction title from a new to me author. I hope you'll all keep reading down below for today's full review. The Warsaw Sisters by Amanda Barratt: Source: Complimentary ...

  Good Morning 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. One of my favorite historical fiction time periods to read about is the period surrounding World War Two. I've read some pretty amazing books within this genre over the years, and I love discovering new to me bits of history along the way. Unfortunately, I've also discovered quite a few books within this genre that I really haven't enjoyed as well, but that doesn't usually stop me from picking up more books within this genre that I discover along the way.  I recently had a book by a new to me author recommended by a fellow book blogger, and I was really looking to diving right into it. Today I'm looking forward to sharing with you all what I ended up thinking about it, and I hope you'll keep reading below for my full review.

  Happy Friday Friends :) I pray your weekend is off to a great start, and I want to thank you all for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess. I'm excited to move past the events of this week, and I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing of things at work, at home, and here on my blog. If you've been reading my blog for awhile, then you probably are well aware that I love World War II fiction. It's one of my all time favorite historical fiction eras, and I've lost count of just how many books I've read set during this time over the years. However, I have to be honest that the last little while I've ended up reading quite a few I didn't enjoy. I was desperately searching for another great title within this genre, and I was hopeful that today's book might be it.

  Hello Friends :) Back in July, I had done a Christmas in July themed week on my blog that was a lot of fun. If you remember, the last book review I shared as part of Christmas in July was The Wish Book Christmas by Lynn Austin, and you can find that review here. I didn't realize when I first picked it up, that it was actually a companion novel to her earlier release, If I Were You. I ended up going back and reading that one before I finished Wish Book Christmas, and it seemed fitting to review it all for you today. If I Were You by Lynn Austin: Source: Libby App Publisher: Tyndale House Publication Date: June 2nd, 2020 Genre: Christian Fiction/Historical Fiction Synopsis: From bestselling and eight-time Christy Award-winning author Lynn Austin comes a remarkable novel of sisterhood and self-discovery set against the backdrop of WWII. 1950.  In the wake of the war, Audrey Clarkson leaves her manor house in England for a fresh start in America with her young son.

  Happy Monday Friends :) I hope you all had a great weekend, and that you're all looking forward to the start of another week. Happy Memorial Day to all of my US friends.  Yesterday, my province finally released some of the visitation restrictions that have been in place for the last couple of months, and it was so nice to finally get to visit my family again. I had a lot of fun with my nephews, and we spent a couple of hours getting to try out a new slip'n'slide and then getting to enjoy some pizza together for supper. I'm looking forward to getting to spend more time with them in the upcoming weeks.  I also had the chance to finish a World War Two fictional novel that I've seen greatly hyped by many reviewers lately, and today I'd like to share with you what I ended up thinking about it.

Happy Wednesday Friends :) There's a lot of unease and concern over the current state of the uncertain times our world is currently finding itself in. I pray that wherever you're reading from today, that you're staying safe and healthy, and choosing to stay home as much as humanly possible to do so. I've going to be off work for at least a couple of weeks, so I will only be leaving my house if I absolutely need necessities, and have no choice but to run out to the store for a few things. I'm planning on catching up with the pile of ARC's that was building up quickly while I've been so busy with work, and I'm hoping to have some time to try some more creative things with my blog and other social medias. I've also already been trying some new recipes for cooking and baking things, and I hope to continue that as well. Today I'd like to share with you all a review of an upcoming April book release.
