character name: The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick

adjective 1: Magic Flutes by Eva Ibbotson

occupation: The Vampire's Assistant by Darren Shan

noun2: Etiquette & Espionage by Gail Carriger 

I just read the greatest book!

This guy Hugo ends up in the middle of a magic conspiracy. Turns out his ancestors were pirates, and he might be the key to finding the hidden knife. It’s a mythic artifact that disappeared centuries ago, and now a shadowy group of assistants are looking for it. No one knows what uncovering it might do, but these guys are willing to hunt for it.

I won’t say anything else. But believe me, if you like dark stories with unrest and espionage, you have to read this one. 

Just want to say a quick thanks to the people who hosted these, they were so fun :)
