Waiting on Wednesday: The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy by Mackenzi Lee


Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine. Today we are waiting for The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy by Mackenzi Lee!

Second book of The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue was just released yesterday! 

Publication date: October 2nd, 2018
Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books
Felicity Montague is through with pretending she prefers society parties to books about bone setting—or that she’s not smarter than most people she knows, or that she cares about anything more than her dream of becoming a doctor.

A year after an accidentally whirlwind tour of Europe, which she spent evading highwaymen and pirates with her brother Monty, Felicity has returned to England with two goals in mind—avoid the marriage proposal of Callum Doyle, a lovestruck suitor from Edinburgh; and enroll in medical school. However, her intellect and passion will never be enough in the eyes of the administrators, who see men as the sole guardians of science.

But then a small window of hope opens. Doctor Alexander Platt, an eccentric physician that Felicity idolizes, is looking for research assistants, and Felicity is sure that someone as forward thinking as her hero would be willing to take her on. However, Platt is in Germany, preparing to wed Felicity’s estranged childhood friend Johanna. Not only is Felicity reluctant to opening old wounds, she also has no money to make the trip.

Luckily, a mysterious young woman is willing to pay Felicity’s way, so long as she’s allowed to travel with Felicity disguised as her maid. In spite of her suspicions, Felicity agrees, but once the girl’s true motives are revealed, Felicity becomes part of a perilous quest that will lead her from the German countryside to the promenades of Zurich to secrets lurking beneath the Atlantic.

After the success of the first book we have now the story of the second Montague sibling! First was Monty and now is Felicity's turn. I have yet to read the series but I am planning on it for next month. I will probably binge-read both of them. I have only heard good things about the book... anyone willing to share their review/experience?


Are you excited about THE LADY'S GUIDE TO PETTICOATS AND PIRACY?
