The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy by Mackenzi Lee
After reading The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue, I was so excited to read a book all about Felicity. But unfortunately, I’m just really disappointed in this book. The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy follows Felicity as she travels around Europe chasing her dream of becoming a doctor. Similar to the first book, there’s chaos, romance and adventure!
The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee
After hearing about The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue for a while, I figured it was time I tried it. I really enjoyed the storyline and the characters! The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue follows Monty as he embarks on his Grand Tour of Europe with his best friend Percy and his little sister, Felicity. But, their Grand Tour does not go according to plan!
When We Caught Fire by Anna Godbersen
When We Caught Fire is a quick historical fiction book that focuses on friendship and love. While I was incredibly excited for this book, it fell flat for me. When We Caught Fire follows Emmeline, a young socialite, and her best friend Fiona, a lady’s maid. After seeing her old childhood crush, Emmeline must decide if it’s worth pursing and losing her place in society.
My Lady Jane by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton and Jodi Meadows
After hearing about My Lady Jane, I knew it was a book I needed to read. I’m so glad I enjoyed it as much as I did! My Lady Jane is a fictional retelling of Lady Jane Grey. It follows Jane as she is the Queen of England for a total of nine days.
Mad Miss Mimic by Sarah Henstra
Mad Miss Mimic is an enjoyable historical fiction. I’m not sure I would pick it up if I saw it at the bookstore so I’m glad I tried something different! Mad Miss Mimic follows a young girl named Leo who happens to have a severe speech impediment. Because of this, she’s often overlooked by others and finds socializing difficult.
