The Preppy Book Princess

Hello Bookish Friends :) Thank you for joining me for another review here on The Preppy Book Princess. As spring temps emerge, I've really been in the mood to read more lighthearted chick lit type of reads, especially if those reads are about a vacation. That's the primary reason I chose to pick up the book I'm going to be talking about with you all today, and of course the fact that I'd heard some pretty amazing things about it from other book bloggers. The Theory of Happily Ever After by Kristin Billerbeck: Source: Library Publisher: Revell Publication Date: May 1st, 2018 Genre: Christian Fiction/Chick Lit Synopsis: According to Dr. Maggie Maguire, happiness is serious science, as serious as Maggie takes herself. But science can't always account for life's anomalies--for instance, why her fiancé dumped her for a silk-scarf acrobat and how the breakup sent Maggie spiraling into an extended ice cream-fueled chick flick binge. Concern...

Happy Friday Everyone :) I missed participating in First Line Friday last week, as I had a family emergency come up last weekend. Thankfully everything worked out okay, and I'm thankful as always to our amazing Heavenly Father for always being there, and for the grace He extends to all of us on a daily basis. This week on my blog has been all about Becky Wade's newest release, Sweet On You, so I knew for this week's First Line Friday I had to share the first line from this one. Sweet On You by Becky Wade: About The Book: Britt and Zander have been best friends since they met thirteen years ago, but unbeknownst to Britt, Zander has been in love with her for just as long. When Zander's uncle dies of mysterious causes, he returns to Washington to investigate. As they work together to uncover his uncles tangled past, will the truth of what lies between them also come to light? My Thoughts: I have yet to not love anything Becky Wade has written, and Swe...

Good Morning Everyone :) I hope you're all having a great week so far! It's officially May, and I have to be honest and say that I'm quite happy about that fact. April was one of the most stressful months I've had in a very long time, as my family dealt with so many emergencies during it, and I spent a lot of time in prayer, and trying not to stress. I'm hopeful that May will be a much better month. April was also a month where I didn't read quite as many books as normal, mainly because of everything else that was going on, and so this wrap up will hopefully be shorter than my normal ones are. I've listed the books in either the order I finished them, or grouping books in a series together. They are not listed in either a best to worst or worst to best type order. Mandie by Lois Gladys Leppard: I continued on with my re-reading of the Mandie series by Lois Gladys Leppard in April, and I finished six more titles. My favorite w...

Happy Monday Everyone :) I hope you all had a fantastic weekend. Unfortunately, mine was not the greatest as three of my family members ended up having serious health complications, and we also had a huge winter storm blow in on Sunday afternoon that really complicated getting anything done around here. However, one great thing about the weekend is that I finally got the chance to finish reading Becky Wade's newest book that releases tomorrow!!! You guys know that Becky is one of my all time favorites, and that this particular title was on my most anticipated releases of 2019 pos t. Sweet on You by Becky Wade: Source: Publisher Via NetGalley Publisher: Bethany House Publication Date: April 30th, 2019 Genre: Christian Fiction/Contemporary Series: Bradford Sisters Synopsis: Britt and Zander have been best friends since they met thirteen years ago, but unbeknownst to Britt, Zander has been in love with her for just as long. When Zander's uncle dies of ...

Good Morning Everyone :) I hope you're all having a great week so far, and I want to thank you all for joining me here on The Preppy Book Princess. I've been working on this particular post for quite awhile, and I'm excited to finally get to share it with all of you guys. I feel like a lot of readers are still unfamiliar with just how many titles currently exist within the Christian Fiction market, and this particular genre is still getting stereotyped as containing only historical fiction and westerns. (Although those are pretty amazing in their own right!) Today I thought it would be fun to take a look at some of my favorite, or more popular regular fiction books, and then make a comparison to a Christian Fiction book. Like the title of the post states, this will be a "if you like this, give that a try." Let's go ahead and get started. Anyone who's read my blog for awhile will know that I'm a huge fan of time travel, and that this...

Good Morning Everyone :) I hope you're all having a great week, and that the weather is bringing lovely spring temps wherever you're reading from today. Are any of you enjoying any fun vacations during the Easter spring break? My hubby and I did not end up going away anywhere, and  stayed at home, however, I'm hoping that we'll still have time for at least one more vacation of some sorts this year. For today's post I wanted to share with you guys another review from The Year of Weddings novella collection. It's been quite awhile since I finished the first year of these short stories, and now I've finally got around to starting the second year of stories. Love at Mistletoe Inn by Cindy Kirk: Source: Bought For Myself Publisher: Zondervan Publication Date: November 25th, 2014 Genre: Christian Fiction/Women's Fiction/Novella Series: Year of Weddings Synopsis: They've helped orchestrate the perfect day for countless couples. ...

Happy Good Friday Everyone :) Welcome back to The Preppy Book Princess, and to another week of First Line Friday, hosted by Hoarding Books. If you're unfamiliar, First Line Friday is a weekly meme that involves sharing the first line of the book you're currently reading. My choice for this week is: Only Uni by Camy Tang: About The Book: Senior biologist Trish Sakai is ready for a change from her wild, flirtatious behavior. So Trish creates three simple rules from First and Second Corinthians and plans to follow them to the letter. No more looking at men as possible dates, especially non-Christians. Second, tell others about Christ. And third, she  will persevere in hardship by relying on God. And just to make sure she behaves, she enlists the help of her three cousins—Lex, Venus and Jennifer—the only Christians in their large extended family. But Trish’s dangerously tempting ex-boyfriend, Kazuo the artist, keeps popping up at all the wrong moments, and her gran...
