I actually just read this at the beginning of September, but I'm still excited to discuss it with the group :) It's still fresh in my mind and was a fun read.
So what does everyone think of it so far?
I'm still waiting for my library copy. I haven't been able to get hold of any of the choices this month which is frustrating....
This is such an enjoyable book!! I have the second book on my tbr shelf just waiting to be read!
i have had this book for months and haven't read it yet, am so glad for the opportunity to read it :)
So as the month comes to an end what are every ones thoughts on this book? I'm curious to hear what everyone else thought/is thinking.
i really enjoyed this book and have now got the second book :) i thought it was really fun read but i struggled with the names which delayed my reading a little so i just came up with my own pronunciations.

Fourteen-year-old Sophronia is a great trial to her poor mother. Sophronia is more interested in dismantling clocks and climbing trees than proper manners--and the family can only hope that company never sees her atrocious curtsy. Mrs. Temminnick is desperate for her daughter to become a proper lady. So she enrolls Sophronia in Mademoiselle Geraldine's Finishing Academy for Young Ladies of Quality.
But Sophronia soon realizes the school is not quite what her mother might have hoped. At Mademoiselle Geraldine's, young ladies learn to finish...everything. Certainly, they learn the fine arts of dance, dress, and etiquette, but they also learn to deal out death, diversion, and espionage--in the politest possible ways, of course. Sophronia and her friends are in for a rousing first year's education.
