The Preppy Book Princess

Happy Monday Everyone :) How's the weather where you are? Unfortunately, we're still fighting off winterish temps, but I'm definitely hopeful that Spring will finally be just around the corner. Even though it's a tad late, today I'd like to share with you all my April 2018 TBR list! I do have fifteen books in my pile that I hope to finish in April, and who knows I may even end up reading more than that. These fifteen are the ones that I for sure hope to get to this month though, and most of them I'm really excited about reading. 1) Fawkes by Nadine Brandes: I actually had this one on my March TBR list, but unfortunately I had several other arc commitments to get to first, and so I didn't end up having time to read it. It's definitely one of the books I'm the most excited to read this month, as I've already heard such great things about it. 2) Falling For You by Becky Wade: Becky Wade is one of my all time favorite authors,...

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you've all had a great week, and if you're lucky enough to have had vacation plans for spring break, then I hope you had a lovely, restful vacation, and had the time to enjoy some great reads. Neil and I did not go away for spring break, which we honestly never do anyways, but I was thankful to have some extra free time this week to catch up on my TBR list. I've been blessed to have received a few arc's from NetGalley over the past month that I've been really excited about, and today I'd like to share my thoughts with you all on one that I was highly anticipating reading. I've reviewed several of the books in the Montana Rescue series before, and you can find those earlier reviews here , here, here and here .  Storm Front by Susan May Warren: Source: Publisher (Revell) via NetGalley Publisher: Revell Publication Date: May 2018 Genre: Inspirational/Action Romance Synopsis: A tornado has destroyed a ...

Hello Everyone :) I hope you're all doing well, and I want to thank you all for joining me today on The Preppy Book Princess. I feel that anyone who's a bookworm probably has certain tropes that they find really irritating, especially when they're present in books over and over again, and I'm definitely no exception. While I've talked many times on my blog about what some of my favorite tropes are, including the "famous or royal person falling for the regular person" and "a romance that develops from a friendship", I've yet to truly do a post on my least favorite bookish tropes, and I decided today was definitely the day to rectify that. Insta Love: It's no secret that I'm not a fan of insta-love in novels, and this is primarily because the romance never feels real or authentic when it develops like this Instead, it starts to feel more like insta-lust or insta-attraction. I'm not a fan of books that the whole relatio...

It's seriously hard to believe it's already April! I mean does anyone else feel like Christmas was literally just here, and now it's already Easter? Speaking of which though, I hope you all had a great Easter weekend with your friends and family. I definitely enjoyed the time Neil and I were able to spend with my family and with each other remembering the true reason behind the Easter holiday. Of course, part of the reason it doesn't feel like it's already April for me is that we have Christmas weather going on right now. We've literally had tons of snow, and freezing temperatures, and it does not feel the slightest bit like spring yet.  Anyways, long winded intro aside, today I'd like to share with you guys all the books I finished last month. During March I had the pleasure of reading my own books, public library books, church library books, and some really exciting arcs. So let's go ahead and get started with my March 2018 wrap up! The bo...

Hey Guys  Happy Good Friday :) In 2016 I had the pleasure of getting to advance read Julie Cross' Chasing Truth, and I ended up enjoying it immensely. I was really excited for the opportunity to advance read the second book in the series, Hiding Lies, this month, and today I can't wait to share with you all what I thought about it.  Hiding Lies by Julie Cross: Source: Publisher (Entangled Teen) Via Netgalley Publisher: Entangled Teen Publication Date: April 17th, 2018 Genre: Young Adult/Suspense Synopsis: Fans of Veronica Mars or Ally Carter will love the snarky, whip-smart former con artist Eleanor, in this sequel to  Chasing Truth .

Happy Wednesday Everyone :) I hope you're all doing well, and I want to thank you all for joining me today on The Preppy Book Princess. Last week I finally got around to reading a book that I had purchased on my Kobo years ago, and once I finished it I knew I wanted to talk about it with all of you guys here on my blog. I especially like showcasing self-published titles on my blog when I read them, as I know they often don't get as much love and attention as their mass published counterparts do. Since Fall for You is an example of one such title, it was definitely one I wanted to review once I finished it. Fall for You by Cecilia Gray: Source: Bought for myself Publisher: Gray Life, LLC. Publication Date: February 10th, 2012 Genre: Young Adult/Contemporary/Retelling Synopsis: Dive into the fabulous, fun lives of six Academy girls as their friendships are tested, torn and ultimately triumph… To say Lizzie and Dante are polar opposites is the under...
