"Waiting on Wednesday" is a meme created by Jill at Breaking the Spine that features books yet to be released that we're really looking forward to. This week my book is "Etiqette & Espionage".
Title: Etiqutte & Espionage
Author: Gail Carriger
Released: February 5, 2013
Publisher:Little Brown
From Goodreads:
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.
Thoughts:
I have. literally. been waiting 6 months to read this book. The wait has been killing me! I am getting desperate here...someone revive me by satisfying my hunger!
After that ordeal...I won't say anymore. You have read enough.
What are you waiting on? Leave me a link!
This one has been on my list for a long time, too. I'm also wayyyy behind in her other series, so I really need to catch up. Great pick :)
