Never Say Goodbye by Mandi Blake Review

Hello Everyone :) 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. I'm so happy to say that I survived the last couple of weeks at work, and I'm beyond belief thankful that everything should be back on its way to normal once again. For today's post, I'm excited to share with you all an upcoming book that I know you're all going to love! A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of reading and reviewing Mandi Blake's debut novel, Just As I Am, and I loved Addie and Declan's story so very much. You can check out that review here . So when Mandi contacted me asking if I'd be interested in reading and reviewing the second book in the series, I couldn't have been more excited. After reading this one, I was completely blown away, and once again, I'm amazed by just how fantastic of a storyteller Mandi truly is! But I'm getting ahead myself, let's go...

Today I'd like to share a review for a book by an author who's earlier reads continue to be some of my all time favorite contemporaries, and I was quite curious as to whether or not this one would live up to hear earlier releases for me or not.

Midnight on the River Grey by Abigail Wilson Review

Happy Friday Everyone :) How's your reading going so far this summer? Last month, I kept having one, two and three star reads, and I was so thankful for the few four or five star books that I encountered that broke the tireless cycle.

I had the opportunity to read and review a recently released novel from Revell Publishing as part of the Revell Reads Blogger Program, and today I'm beyond excited to share my review of this beautiful book with you all.

June 2019 Wrap Up

Happy July 1st everyone! And happy Canada Day to all my fellow Canadians. I'm so relieved to have the last two weeks behind us, and that work is finally entering into a more normal pace. I'm also hopeful that July is going to be a great reading month for me, and that I'll have way less one and two star books than I did during the month of June. Now that's not to say that I didn't read any good books in June, as I definitely did, and I discovered many new favorites. However, there were a few that ended up being quite disappointing, and I'm hoping that won't be the case for July. Here's all the books I read in June, listed in the order of which I finished them: Don't Look Back by Jennifer L Armentrout: I've long been a fan of Jennifer L Armentrout's books, and Don't Look Back was one that I was really looking forward to reading. I still enjoy reading young adult thrillers, and this one had me intrigued from the synopsi...
