| Etiquette & Espionage (Finishing School #1) by Gail Carriger |
Sophronia feels she has more important things to do with her life than learn proper tea etiquette, how to carry on inane conversations with gentlemen or the correct posture for a sitting, but as they say, "mother knows best." Poor Sophronia is shipped off to Mademoiselle Geraldine's Finishing Academy for Young Ladies of Quality to learn the in's and out's of becoming a lady of worth, but that is not all she learns, for she soon finds herself perfecting not just her curtsy, but her tactical espionage as well. Becoming a lady is dangerous business in Gail Carriger's first young adult novel, which takes place 25 years prior to
The Parasol Protectorate series. Tighten those corsets, girls, and welcome to a different kind of finishing school!

Sooo I know I'm super late hopping by, but better late than never, right!? This one seems awesome! I love this idea of turning Finishing School into something a little more adventurous and sinister - so much fun! Plus, that cover is divine; I love the font!
