Hi my Dears!It's been a while since I posted a Waiting on Wednesday and I've been dying to post this super awesome upcoming 2013 release!! Etiquette & Espionage by Gail Carriger sounds totally amazing! Gail Carriger is a very popular by her Parasol Protectorate adult Steampunk series and The Finishing School is will be her first work for Young-adult readers (even though many of us are not teens anymore XDDD) So, I couldn't been more excited about this upcoming release! I also adore the cover and OMG!! I want this one now!!! =DDD
dd it to your Goodreads asap! ^_____________________^
Etiquette & Espionage (The Finishing School #1)
by Gail Carriger
Coming out on February 13th 2013!
It's one thing to learn to curtsy properly. It's quite another to learn to curtsy and throw a knife at the same time. Welcome to finishing school.
Fourteen-year-old Sophronia is the bane of her mother's existence. Sophronia is more interested in dismantling clocks and climbing trees than proper etiquette at tea--and god forbid anyone see her atrocious curtsy. Mrs. Temminnick is desperate for her daughter to become a proper lady. She enrolls Sophronia in Mademoiselle Geraldine's Finishing Academy for Young Ladies of Quality.
But little do Sophronia or her mother know that this is a school where ingenious young girls learn to finish, all right--but it's a different kind of finishing. Mademoiselle Geraldine's certainly trains young ladies in the finer arts of dance, dress, and etiquette, but also in the other kinds of finishing: the fine arts of death, diversion, deceit, espionage, and the modern weaponries. Sophronia and her friends are going to have a rousing first year at school.
First in a four book YA series set 25 years before the Parasol Protectorate but in the same universe.
What are you waiting on this Wednesday?
