The Preppy Book Princess

Happy November Everyone :) While I'm sad to see fall coming to an end, I'm also excited to be moving into the Christmas season as it's always my favorite. Now that October is officially over, I want to share with all of you my wrap up of all the books I finished during the month. I felt that October wasn't as great of reading month for me as September was. This was due in part to the fact that I had a bunch of other time commitments, and wasn't able to finish as many books. And it was also due to the fact that I ended up having a few books this month that I didn't enjoy as much as I was expecting to. However, let's jump right into the wrap up. A September Bride by Kathryn Springer: This novella from Autumn Brides was my first read of the month, and I adored it. The small town, book store setting, the two protagonists who get off on the wrong foot, and the historic reenactment wedding all endeared this story to me, and I gave it five out o...

Happy Halloween Bookish Friends :) I feel that during Halloween so many readers love to gobble up spooky stories, and it's something I don't do too often as so often a lot of the content makes me uncomfortable. However, if any of you are in the same boat, and you're still wanting to enjoy spooky reads that don't compromise your beliefs, then I'd love to recommend some deliciously scary Christian fiction novels that will deliver on the spooky story side, but will keep the content clean and faith based. Lonestar Series by Colleen Coble: If you're looking for a series that combines dude ranches, cowboys, and sinister plots that will keep you on the edge of your seat, all wrapped up in a giant reminder that God's plan is always the perfect plan, than Colleen Coble's Lonestar Series is the series for you. This is still one of my favorite Colleen Coble series. Check out my reviews of this series here and here . Alaskan Courage Series by Dani ...

Hello Everyone :) I hope you're all having a great week, and living your best life :) In some ways September and October weren't the greatest months for me. I spent a large portion of it sick with a cold, and then asthma complications, and it seemed to be a pretty stressful month for work as well.  However, there were still many many moments throughout the months that reminded me just how blessed I am, and one of those moments was the weekend getaway my husband and I did to do some shopping. While we were away we visited my favorite Chapters bookstore of all time, and I picked up some new books that I'm very much looking forward to reading, and today I'm here to share them with you all. One of my first finds was this particular edition of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I'd collected most of her other books in this exact design, but every store was always sold out of Pride and Prejudice, and this included online. We found it this time, and I snagge...

Hello Everyone :) I hope you're all doing well, and I want to thank you for joining me for another book review today here on The Preppy Book Princess. I've mentioned before that I don't actually read a lot of non-fiction books, but every so often I do, and sometimes I find a new favorite book in the process. That's definitely what happened with my newest non-fiction read, and I couldn't wait to share all about it with you guys.
