This will be my third or fourth read of E&E, and probably my third of C&C (goodness I love Gail's stories). I've been a huge fan of Gail's since her first book, Soulless, so when she announced she'd be writing YA I couldn't have been more excited (I read primarily YA).
I own my copies, but I've only read the ARCs before (I only read paperbacks). But I purchased E&E in paperback to get signed a few months ago, so I'll be reading E&E in finished paperback for the first time next month (I'll be curious to see if I notice any differences!).
Looking forward to discussing the books with everyone! :)
Hiya, Nicqui here (pronounced Nikki).This will be my first reread of the series. I discovered Carriger earlier this year. A Goodreads friend whose reading habits I trust gave E&E rave reviews so I was curious. I got the books and fell in love with the world Gail created. When I was finished with the first two, I needed to read anything else by Gail so I got Parasol next and basically devoured all seven books in about ten days. Even though I read them earlier this year, I feel like I neeeeeed to read them again.
I own my copies but they are digital (Kindle) editions. I'll be rereading my digital copies. I'm so excited, I can't wait.
My first time doing a re read and re reading the espionage series! This should be fun as I'm really excited when w&w comes out. Thanks to my friend who recommended Gail Carriger or else I wouldn't have read such witty series. This was my first steampunk series and I've been reading more books of the genre ever since. The story just leaps out of the pages and the romance is absolutely witty! I love the colorful characters and shocking secrets and scandals, that I really can't wait to see what happens. :)
Hi my name is Brooke and this is my first time rereading this series. I was in the mood for a spy school book and found E&E at the stoor and fell in love with it and picked up the Parasol series because i needed more!
Hi,I'm Nova, I'm very, very new too good reads and my friend Nicqui above there, introduced me to the site and to Gail Carriger. This my first re-read but I doubt it's going to be my last. I can not wait for November 4th.
Hi, I am Kittie (or Katja in "real" life).I stumbled over Soulless after I joined Goodreads and as there was so much praise I decided to give it a try.
It took me a little while to get into it (mostly, to get used to Alexia's voice) but once I was over that I really loved it. After that I read the entire Parasol Protectorate Series and now moved on to Finishing School. I am usually not a big fan of YA but I am really excited to find out if this is going to change...
Hi, Kittie! Hi, Nova! *waves*I can guarantee, Kittie, that it will change.
Welcome!
Anyone up to a re-read of FS books before Manners & Mutiny is released in early November 2015?

This girl!
Right here!
Are we doing the reread in October or do we do one book per month leading up to it so that busier members can participate too. Either way is fine with me. We could have theory discussions too.
