#FinishingSchool
review

After a pre-Christmas trip to London, staying with her sister, and Christmas itself, Sophronia and friends return to the school for the New Year Tea only to find that it has been infiltrated by Picklemen.

A satisfactory wrap-up to the series with quite a few surprises on the way.

Siddheag receives distressing news about her pack and Sophronia and the other girls put their training into practice to help her and incidentally foil the latest plot of the Picklemen.

It's been 3 years or more since I read the previous installments so I was a bit hazy on the details of what had happened. Fortunately there is fan wiki to remind me who was who. Great fun.

If anyone saw Monique, a well-dressed woman of quality, dangling from the doorway, they apparently assumed everyone had difficulties in life and moved on.

IriDas Is that the first line? Because that‘s certainly an attention grabber. 😮 7d
rwmg @IriDas No, I posted the first line earlier. I just thought I'd share this line because I thought it was funny. 7d

"Funambulist,” said Sophronia Temminnick, quite suddenly.

Thanks for the #Two4Tuesday tag @TheSpineView

1️⃣ After grade school I was hit or miss. If liked the subject (English, writing, History) I was good but if I wasn‘t interested (Math) I didn‘t apply myself & was not great!

2️⃣ I loved the Finishing School series & Mademoiselle Geraldine‘s Finishing Academy for Young Ladies of Quality seems like a fun school to learn useful skills like espionage, poisoning & proper curtsies.

Tag—you‘re it!🤗

TheSpineView Thanks for playing! 1mo

It's been too long (2020) since I've read all of Gail Carriger's Parasolverse. And of course I needed to make a Google Doc that is color coordinated with Book Covers. https://bit.ly/48ATIxR

Then because there's nothing better than listening to Fictional Hangover
https://www.fictionalhangover.com/ discuss and it's thanks to Ms. Gail that I found Podcast, added in Episodes for corresponding books.

The book gods have spoken, and here's what I should be reading this month. If all goes well, I'm starting a new series from my shelves and my cooking will improve.

I love Gail Carriger. Her books are always such a great escape. That ending had me shook though. I can‘t wait to see how this series ends.

A steampunk finishing school. That floats, concealed, in the clouds. Because why wouldn‘t it. Where they teach etiquette and espionage. And there are werewolves and vampires, for that supernatural hit. I love getting entangled in Gail Carriger‘s worlds on days when I just need to get lost in some delightful happy for awhile.
