The Preppy Book Princess

Hello Everyone :) I'm going to be doing a very different kind of post today than what I'm used to. I've seen quite a few booktubers doing this lately, and I thought it would be fun to check up on my own post this way too. What I'm going to be doing is going back to my very first book haul I ever posted on my blog, and see how many of the books included in that hall have I actually read. For me, my very first book haul was my Christmas book haul of 2015 which I posted on January 1st, 2016 and you can find it here. This was all the books I hauled in that post, and let's jump in and see how many I've actually read. Holiday Homecoming by Jean C Gordan: I'm happy to say that this one I have actually read ✔ The Doctor's Christmas Wish by Renee Ryan: I have also finished this one already ✔ The Bachelor's Homecoming by Karen Kirst: This one I have not read ✖ The Rancher's Christmas Proposal by Sherri Shackleford: I've read th...

Happy Monday Everyone :) and Happy Thanksgiving To All Of My Fellow Canadians! I have to say that the frigid temperatures we've been experiencing lately have me even more so in the mood to read Christmas books than usual. I'd especially been craving reading some good cozy mysteries, and thankfully I found a couple of interesting sounding ones on NetGalley to read during these chilly fall nights. Today I'd like to share with you all my thoughts on the first one I finished as it was definitely a pleasant surprise. Twas the Knife Before Christmas by Jacqueline Frost: Source: Publisher (Crooked Lane Books) Via NetGalley Publisher: Crooked Lane Books Publication Date: November 13th, 2018 Genre: Cozy Mystery Series: A Christmas Tree Farm Mystery Synopsis: A Christmas delight,  ’Twas the Knife Before Christmas  will charm the stockings off readers of Joanne Fluke and Leslie Meier.

Hello Bookish Friends :) Last month I managed to not only finish all of the thirteen books I put on my TBR list, but I actually over doubled my list and ended up finishing 27 books. You can read all about my September reads in my wrap up post.  I have high hopes for October being a fantastic reading month as well, and today I'm going to share with you all the books I hope to get to this month. The To All The Boys I've Loved Before trilogy by Jenny Han: These are my friend's and my book club picks for October, and I'm very much looking forward to rereading the first two, and finally reading the third book. The Queen of Zombie Hearts and A Mad Zombie Party by Gena Showalter: I hope to finish this series this month, and am looking forward to doing so. You're The One That I Want by Susan May Warren: Also looking forward to finishing the Christiansen family series this month. Ash and Quill by Rachel Caine: I'm not lo...

Hello Everyone :) I hope you're doing well. For me, it's always bittersweet to finish a series that you've really come to love. I often procrastinate on finishing the last book, as I'm just not ready to see the series come to an end. In the last couple of months I've really fallen in love with Debbie Viguie's Sweet Seasons, and I recently finished the last book. I knew I needed to share my feelings about it with you all. The Spring of Candy Apples by Debbie Viguie: Source: Library Publisher: Zondervan Publication Date: February 9th, 2009 Genre: Christian Fiction/Young Adult Fiction/Contemporary Series: Sweet Seasons Synopsis: They’re fun! They’re quirky! They’re Sweet Seasons—unlike any other girls’ books you’ve ever read. You could call them alternative, God-honoring chick lit. Join Candy Thompson on a sweet, lighthearted, and honest romp through the friendships, romances, family, school, faith, and values that make a girl’s lie as f...

Happy Tuesday Bookish Friends :) You're all getting a bonus post from me this week. Why is that you may ask? Well it just happens to be release day for an amazing collection of holiday stories by four very talented ladies, and I'm very excited to have had the opportunity to read and review this one for you all.  I hope you'll all take a chance on this lovely Christmas collection, and let's go ahead and jump right into the review. The Christmas Heirloom: Four Holiday Novellas Of Love Through The Generations by Karen Witemeyer, Kristi Ann Hunter, Sarah Loudin Thomas, and Becky Wade: Source: Publisher (Bethany House) Via NetGalley Publisher: Bethany House Publication Date: October 2nd, 2018 Genre: Christian Fiction/Historical Fiction/Contemporary Synopsis: In Kristi Ann Hunter's "Legacy of Love," Sarah Gooding never suspected returning a brooch to an elderly woman would lead to a job . . . and introduce her to the woman's grands...

Good Morning Guys! I can' honestly say that September was one of the best reading months I've had in a very long time. I finished so.many.books! Now I will say this was mainly because I ended up sick with a nasty cold for a few days, and didn't do much besides read, but still. I ended up reading some really amazing books, and only had a few duds this month which is always a bonus. Plus I ended up crossing off every single book I had on my original TBR, and read quite a few additional ones besides.  As this is going to be a loooong post today, I'll be keeping my thoughts on each of the books fairly brief. The books will be listed in the order of the ones I finished first to last. Stealing The Preacher by Karen Witemeyer: This was such a great choice for my first book of the month. I loved Crockett and Joanna, and the strange circumstances by which they first come into each other's company. Five out of five stars! It Had To Be You by Susan May Wa...
