In the hopes of making her into a proper lady, her mother enrolls Sophronia Temminnick at Mademoiselle Geraldine's Finishing Academy for Young Girls of Quality. There she learns about proper etiquette in dress and dance but soon Sophronia learns her Finishing school's lessons also cover topics in weapons, deceit, death, and espionage. Instead of feeling unsettled by these revelations, Sophronia feels she has finally found a place she fits in and actually has a knack for the deadly arts. . Why did it take me so long to read this series? It has all the things I like--Why did it take me so long to read this series? It has all the things I like--Victorian era steampunk setting, paranormal creatures living among people, sassy and smart heroines, sharp stabby weapons, and tea (I could not get through one of these books without at least making a cup of tea)--Etiquette and Espionage: Finishing School Book the First by Gail Carriger @gailcarriger was such an entertaining read! . The first book was so much fun--like when Harry first gets to Hogwart's if Hogwarts had lessons in the language of handkerchief messages and using a grappling hook to swing from one balcony on to the next on a dirigible. Sophronia is also a very likable, smart character who you can't help rooting for. I highly recommend this if you're looking for a story and character that turns class and female roles in society over on its head. . What's a book or series that you put off but finally read? Do you have any steampunk recommendations? . Thank goodness it's Friday! Yesterday I went hunting for NYCC Exclusive Funkos and found two out of four that I wanted! Today, one of the libraries near me is having a used book sale. I'm hoping to find some Stephen King and Vince Flynn books and any others that catch my fancy. 😉 . For #grimdragon World Teacher's Day: These characters have a lot to learn! A little late but Sophronia and the other ladies of quality in the first book have a lot to learn before they are considered "finished". .

#AmpersandJune17 [22/30]: Steam • Steampunk is such a fun genre to read!! I love it because a) it's usually based in Victorian/ Regency England (one of my favourite settings), b) you get some really interesting technology, and c) there's usually some magic or paranormal element involved! • Do you have any steampunk recs for me? I'm always up for more! . . . . . #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookphotography #booktography #books #instabook #instareads #reading #read #booknerdigans #bookworm #booknerd #bookish #booklover #bookaddict #bookblogger #aussiereaders #ausyabloggers #bookstagrammer #Soulless #parasolprotectorate #gailcarriger #etiquetteandespionage #steampunk

So, I finished Etiquette and Espionage earlier on, and whilst it had its flaws, it was still a fun and quirky book! I'm going to start Curtsies and Conspiracies next! I also realise here are four books in this series, but my copy of book no. 4 isn't arriving until tomorrow! #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #justfinishedreading #currentlyreading #gailcarriger #etiquetteandespionage #candles #quirky #fun #coverlove

I initially tried to read Etiquette & Espionage by Gail Carriger during my loooong reading slump but given that nothing could hold my interest at that time, I quickly gave up on it. I always knew it was a book I would adore though and intended to return to it so several years later I listened to the entire series over roughly two weeks. I have not been able to stop chattering about this series and am excited to reread/listen to Blameless so I can restart The Parasol Protectorate series! And now we're all caught up on my bookstagram break!
