I feel as though I have read Gail Carriger’s Finishing School series in a whirlwind and am a bit bereft that I do not have the last book in the series - Manners & Mutiny to read upon finishing Waistcoats & Weaponry. I’ll be honest and tell you all that I feel each book gets successively better, so […]
Curtsies & Conspiracies by Gail Carriger | Book Review
October 13, 2015
Binge reading a series is pretty much my favorite. Within the span of about a week or so, I consumed Gail Carriger’s Finishing School series.
