The Preppy Book Princess

Hello Friends :) How are you all doing? During the craziness going on everywhere in our world right now, I just want you all to know how appreciative I am that you took the time to stop by my little corner of the internet. I know that I've been spending a lot of time reading other blogs and watching Youtube videos and such, and I'm really thankful for these awesome bookish communities that keep us connected during these days of social isolation. Today I'm here to share a review of a book with you all that ended up not being exactly what I was expecting.

My husband and I ended up having an extremely stressful weekend, but I'm hopeful that this week will be off to a much better start.

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you've all had a great week, and that you're all looking forward to the weekend. My husband and I are planning to continue working on the remodel of our home library, and I'm very excited to get it closer to being done. For today's post, I'm excited to once again be linking up with Hoarding Books for another edition of First Line Friday. For anyone unfamiliar, First Line Friday is a fun, weekly meme that simply consists of sharing the first line from the book you're currently reading. During all these days of self isolation, I've been trying to read some of the books I've had on my TBR for quite sometime, and it's one of those titles I'm going to be sharing today.

Hello Everyone :) I hope you're all doing well, and I want to thank you for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess. I've been spending a lot of time lately on the remodel of our home library, but I've been trying to still make lots of time for reading fantastic books. For quite a few years, Wanda E. Brunstetter has been a favorite author of mine, and I was excited to learn that her publishing house is re releasing her very first published novels in a gorgeous new bindup.  I was pleasantly surprised to get to have the opportunity to review these three new to me stories, and today I'm looking forward to sharing with you all what I ended up thinking about them A Heartwarming Romance Collection by Wanda E.

Hello Friends :) I hope 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. Ever since I read the first book in the Alaskan Courage series many years back, Dani Pettrey has become one of my all time favorite authors. I've read everything she's ever written, and her upcoming release was another title featured in my Most Anticipated 2020 Releases Post. I ended up getting through this one pretty quick as I was super invested in the story, and now I'm looking forward to sharing with you all what I ended up thinking about it.

Happy Monday Everyone :) I hope you all had a fantastic weekend, and I want to thank you all for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess. I've been book blogging for almost five years now, and bookstagramming for four. During those years, I've had many amazing experiences, and I've come to love a lot of different things about being apart of these awesome communities. However, I think that my favorite part of it all is getting to discover amazing authors and amazing stories that I may not have ever known about if I wasn't a part of the bookish community.  For today's review, I'm looking forward to sharing with you all one of these books and corresponding authors that I had the pleasure of connecting with on Instagram, and I can't wait to share with you all about this beautifully written story.

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you've all had a great week, and that you're looking forward to the weekend. Today I'm excited to once again be linking up with Hoarding Books for First Line Friday. First Line Friday is one of my favorite weekly memes, and it simply consists of sharing the first line of the book you're currently reading. I've had a lot of extra reading time on my hands lately because of all the social distancing, and as such, I've been able to read a lot of the titles that have been sitting on my shelves for quite some time. Today's book is one of such titles, and I'm happy that I finally found the time to get to it as I'm really enjoying it so far. All's Fair in Love and Cupcakes by Betsy St. Amant: About the Book: Kat inspected rows of the same old cupcakes. They seemed to blink back at her, as if they knew she was capable of so much more.

Hello Everyone :) I hope you're all doing well, and I want to thank you all for joining me here today on The Preppy Book Princess. I've been blogging so much lately. I've had so many reviews that I had to get written and edited and the like, but I really wanted to take part in another book tag. It's truly been a hot minute since I last posted one, and off the top of my head, I can't even remember what the last one I posted even was. Lately, I've been seeing the Stay at Home Book Tag pop up all over the bookternet, and it seems like a really fun one to participate in. This particular tag was created by Princess of Paperback over on Youtube, and you can check out her original video here. Let's go ahead and get started. Laying In Bed-Book You Could/Have Read In A Day: From the moment I started The Truth in Tiramisu, I literally couldn't put it down.
