The Preppy Book Princess

Happy Friday Everyone :) I pray this week finds you all safe and healthy. As I've been spending so much more time at home than normal, I've also been finishing a lot more books. One of my favorites I finished this week was The Happy Camper by Melody Carlson, and so I decided to feature it for today's First Line Friday post. If you're unfamiliar with First Line Friday, it's a weekly meme hosted by Hoarding Books where you simply share the first line of the book you're currently enjoying. The Happy Camper by Melody Carlson: About The Book: Home is the place to heal, right? At least, that's what Dillon Michaels is hoping as she leaves her disappointing career and nonstarter love life behind to help her grieving and aging grandfather on his small Oregon farm. The only problem? Her eccentric mother beat her there and has taken over Dillon's old room. After a few nights sleeping on a sagging sofa, Dillon is ready to give up, until she recei...

Good Morning Everyone :) I hope you're all having an okay week so far. It's been a little disheartening seeing the craziness that's come in with the new developments of the corona virus, and I'm keeping the safety of everyone in my prayers. I pray for everyone affected, and for the mass hysteria to calm down as it's starting to seem dangerous in itself. Today I'm here to share with you all another review from my list of my 2020 most anticipated releases , and I'm excited to get to share with you all what I ended up thinking about this particular title. The Map from Here to There by Emery Lord: Source: Library Publisher: Bloomsbury YA Publication Date: January 7th, 2020 Genre: Young Adult/Contemporary Series: The Start of Me and You Synopsis: Acclaimed author Emery Lord crafts a gorgeous story of friendship and identity, daring to ask: What happens  after  happily ever after? It's senior year, and Paige Hancock is finally l...

Happy Monday Friends :) I pray that wherever you're reading from today that you're staying safe and healthy. My hubby is still working right now, but other than that we are completely staying at home, unless we absolutely need necessities. I've been taking advantage of being at home so much to try out some new recipes, and to get ahead on the pile of review books that are releasing in the next few weeks. How are you coping with everything going on with the covid-19 situations? Are you at home, or are you still in the workforce? What have you been doing to keep yourself entertained while at home? Today, I'm excited to share a new book review with you all. I really think it's important to do everything we can as book bloggers right now to get the word out about new books. With the library closures and independent book store closures because of the virus, it's a little harder for books to succeed right now, and I want to try and do my part to help ea...

Happy Sunday Friends :) I have a bonus post this week to share, as this Wednesday is the official start of the O.W.L.S magical readathon hosted by G from Book Roast on Youtube, and I'm extremely excited to be participating for the first time ever. I did take part in the bonus readathon she hosted at Christmastime, but this is my first time participating in the full thing. I will leave links at the bottom of this post to the Magical Readathon Website, G's announcement video, and the Magical Readathon Twitter. Basically this readathon is a Harry Potter themed readathon in that the spring readathon is themed to the O.W.L.S and the summer one is themed to the N.E.W.T.S. You have to pick a career choice, and then complete your "O.W.l.S." by completing reading challenges for each class. After much deliberation, I decided to go with "Care of Magical Children" for my career choice, and it requires 8 O.W.L.S, or 8 reading prompts. Which are the following: ...

Happy Friday Everyone :) I pray that this week finds you safe and healthy, and protected from all the craziness in these uncertain times. I'm going to be off of work for a couple of weeks, and will not be leaving my house unless absolutely necessary. I've been enjoying catching up on the pile of ARC's I have releasing in the next few weeks, and the one I'm most excited about is probably Becky Wade's upcoming release. Before I could get to that one though, I needed to read the prequel novella that she recently released, and it's going to be my pick for this week's First Line Friday. If you're unfamiliar with First Line Friday, it's a weekly meme hosted by the lovely ladies at Hoarding Books, and it simply involves sharing the first line of the book you're currently reading. Take a Chance on Me by Becky Wade: About the Book: When baker Penelope Quinn steps in to help her brother’s family through a medical crisis, she’s forced into ...

Happy Wednesday Friends :) There's a lot of unease and concern over the current state of the uncertain times our world is currently finding itself in. I pray that wherever you're reading from today, that you're staying safe and healthy, and choosing to stay home as much as humanly possible to do so. I've going to be off work for at least a couple of weeks, so I will only be leaving my house if I absolutely need necessities, and have no choice but to run out to the store for a few things. I'm planning on catching up with the pile of ARC's that was building up quickly while I've been so busy with work, and I'm hoping to have some time to try some more creative things with my blog and other social medias. I've also already been trying some new recipes for cooking and baking things, and I hope to continue that as well. Today I'd like to share with you all a review of an upcoming April book release. The Socialite by J'nell Ciesielski: ...

Hello Everyone :) How has your week been going so far? Mine's been a little crazy as I've been picking up a lot of extra shifts at work lately. It's been good though too as it's allowed me time to check some more things off my to do list at work. However, because of how much I've been working, I haven't had quite as much time for reading and reviewing. When these situations emerge, one of my favorite things to do is read novella length books. It allows me to still be able to read, and still have time to write reviews on my blog for you guys. Recently I finished a lovely little clean romance novella, and today I'm excited to share it with you all. Rachael Bloome's The Clause In Christmas was one of my favorite reads from last year, and you can find that review here . I was really excited to dive into another story from her.
