Rating: 5 stars.  This book was absolutely fabulous! I want to recommend it to everyone I meet. It's definitely going to be one of my favourites of the year. The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue is about Monty, a guy in the 1700s who is going on a tour with his best friend and great love, Percy, and his sister, Felicity. During their travels, they learn a lot about each other and get caught up in a conspiracy which leads them to be on the run. I may not be able to fully express my immense love of this book, but I guess I can try, right? Well,  first of, I love books with pirates in them, so this book became even better because they were in it! The settings in TGGTVAV were very well described and interesting. This book takes place first in England and then in France, Barcelona and Greece. These are all places that I'd love to visit so reading the gang's adventures was great! I absolutely loved the characters: Monty and Percy are absolute adorable and F...

Rating: 3 stars I received an e-copy on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. (Thanks!) I've heard of this author before; she wrote With Malice . When I read the synopsis for this book and found out that the author is Canadian, I knew I had to request it on NetGalley. All in all, I did like what the author was trying to accomplish with this book but I found the end product to have fallen a bit flat.  The Hanging Girl is about Skye Thorn, a girl who needs money to move into an apartment with her high school friend in New York. Skye pretends to be a psychic to make her way through high-school. She agrees to help someone in school fake a kidnapping and keep the police investigation going with her psychic skills so that they can get the ransom money and do what they want. But it all goes wrong and Skye is stuck with the aftermath.

Rating: 3 stars The Night Circus is an experience! I'm not joking, Erin Morgenstern is amazing at making the reader feel like they are actually in the scene she is describing. Even though I read this book 2 months ago, I distinctly remember the descriptions of smells and sights of the circus the most. The smells of cotton candy and caramel corn are now Night Circus smells in my mind. The Night Circus follows the lives of Celia and Marco, two talented people who can do magic. Their guardians put them in a magical contest to the death and the circus is the setting of this battle.  But what the guardians did not count on was the length of this contest and the fact that the two contestants would start to fall in love. I did like this book, but I think it was overhyped by Booktubers for me. Every video I saw was people who were in love with this book, but I wasn't as in love with it. It could be that I read this book over a month instead of in like a week, but I felt k...
