A Patchwork Past by Leslie Gould Review

  Happy Wednesday Friends :) I pray you're all doing well this week, and I want to thank you all for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess. These last six months have been such a struggle for me personally. I've talked quite a bit about the attack from the enemy I've been dealing with, and honestly, sometimes it gets discouraging that it's been dragging on so long. I love spending time in prayer and in studying God's Word to help pull me through each day, but I've also come to love my time spent reading Christian fiction. I've become so much fussier about the type of content I'm allowing myself to read, and this has definitely been the right decision for me and has helped me so much. The world is such a scary place right now, and I don't want to put anything extra into my mind that doesn't need to be there. Last week, I had the chance the read and review Leslie Gould's upcoming novel, and today I'd like to sh...

The Lost Girl of Astor Street by Stephanie Morrill 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. Can you believe today is March 1st? It feels like Christmas was just a couple of weeks ago, and now we're well on our way to spring. I also can't believe it's already been almost a year since all this lockdown stuff started, and I've been struggling a bit more lately as it just seems like there's no end in sight to it all. However, I've been trying to spend more time with Jesus, which definitely helps, and I've also had the opportunity to read a lot of really great books. The review I'm going to share with you all today is for a book that I actually read and wrote this review back in July, but never had the chance to post it. Hopefully you're all having a great Monday so far, and hopefully you'll all enjoy reading this review.  I love young adult mystery novels, and I when I heard about a fantast...

When Twilight Breaks by Sarah Sundin Review

  Happy Friday Friends :) I hope you're all having a great week, and I want to thank you for joining me (Kirby) here on The Preppy Book Princess for another book review. I've been reading a lot of historical fiction lately, and I recently finished an amazing book by Sarah Sundin that I can't wait to tell you all about.

If she fails to truthfully report on major stories, she'll never be able to give a voice to the oppressed--and wake up the folks back home. In another ...

The Day of Ezekiel's Hope by Donna VanLiere Review

  Good Morning Bookish Friends :) I hope you all had a great weekend, and that you're all looking forward to the week ahead. Mine was a little stressful as I've been having a weird pain in my lower back, and have to wait until later today to see the chiropractor. I'm thankful I was still able to keep up around the house, and had the time to do some Bible study and more reading. A little while ago, I shared my review of the first book in Donna VanLiere's end time series (review  here ), and today I'm excited to share with you all my review of the upcoming second book in the trilogy. The Day of Ezekiel's Hope by Donna VanLiere: Source: Publisher via NetGalley Publisher: Harvest House Publication Date: March 16th, 2021 Genre: Christian Fiction/Speculative Fiction Synopsis: Millions have vanished… War has erupted around the globe… Cities have been ransacked and overrun with lawlessness… Yet this is only the beginning of the chaos that is to come.

Amish Midwives by Amy Clipston, Shelley Shepard Gray and Kelly Long Review

  Happy Friday Friends :) 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. If you've been reading my blog for awhile, than you probably already know this about me, but if not, I'm going to go ahead and state that I absolutely love Amish fiction. I've long since been fascinated by their culture, and the fact they they choose to live their lives in only ways that honor the Lord.  The very first Amish fiction book I ever read was when I was probably 13 or 14 and I read Beverly Lewis' The Shunning, The Reckoning, and The Confession trilogy. My interest was sparked right from that point, and I've read countless and countless titles since then. In the current crazy days we're living in, I find Amish fiction to be so uplifting, and I've been choosing to read these titles a lot lately. I recently had the chance to read an upcoming Amish novella collection by three well known author...

The Girl in the Painting by Tea Cooper Review

  Happy Wednesday Friends :) I hope you're all doing well, and I want to thank you for all for taking the time to stop by The Preppy Book Princess for another book review. My province is still under orders where we're not allowed to gather with other households, and we're just coming out of an extreme cold spell. So those two situations have basically meant that I've had a lot of extra reading time on my hands lately, so I've been getting through my stack of review books much faster than normal. Today's review is from a first time author for me, and I'm excited to share with you all about my experience. The Girl in the Painting by Tea Cooper: Source: Publisher via NetGalley Publisher: Thomas Nelson Publication Date: March 9th, 2021 Genre: Christian Fiction/Historical Fiction Synopsis: A young prodigy in need of family. A painting that shatters a woman’s peace. And a decades-old mystery demanding to be solved. Australia, 1906 Orphan Jane Piper is nine years o...

The Paris Dressmaker by Kristy Cambron Review

  Happy Monday Friends :) I pray today finds you all in good spirits. Did you have a good Valentine's Day? My hubby and I chose to have dinner at home, and spent the evening together watching a movie and playing board games. With everything that's been going on with me personally and with the state of our world this year, I felt like Valentine's Day this year more than ever needed to be focused around Christ's love for us, and not so much on the other side of things.  I'm been studying my Bible so much more these last few months, and have been really sad to see some of the Christian speakers I've always so admired speaking in ways that completely contradict the scriptures. I've realized more than ever just how important it truly is to know the Bible inside and out, and I'm disappointed in myself for not noticing these discrepancies  in the years prior. I've been thinking a lot lately about the scriptures that talk about people being lead away in late...
