The Parasol Protectorate Boxed Set
The Parasol Protectorate Boxed Set: Soulless, Changeless, Blameless, Heartless and Timeless | Gail Carriger
11 posts | 23 read | 20 to read
Alexia Tarabotti is laboring under a great many social tribulations. First, she has no soul. Second, she's a spinster whose father is both Italian and dead. Third, she was rudely attacked by a vampire, breaking all standards of social etiquette. Where to go from there? From bad to worse apparently, for Alexia accidentally kills the vampire -- and then the appalling Lord Maccon (loud, messy, gorgeous, and werewolf) is sent by Queen Victoria to investigate. With unexpected vampires appearing and expected vampires disappearing, everyone seems to believe Alexia responsible. Can she figure out what is actually happening to London's high society? Will her soulless ability to negate supernatural powers prove useful or just plain embarrassing? Finally, who is the real enemy, and do they have treacle tart?The Parasol Protectorate is a comedy of manners set in Victorian London: full of werewolves, vampires, dirigibles, and tea-drinking.This bundle includes the whole series: Soulless, Changeless, Blameless, Heartless, and Timeless.

Finally have time for Summer Wrap Up.☀️

I just adore friends who get me.🤓 When I hosted Social Distancing 📚 and 🍻 Club last Saturday, I was gifted with a new Parasol. So Perfect as I've spent the Summer in the Parasolverse. ☂️

Not the right book - but Meat Cute isn‘t in the list yet. This is absolutely not the place to start with this series, but if you‘re a Connell and Alexia fan, this is the prequel that you wanted and it delivers. And if you‘ve read The Finishing School series there‘s a treat for you here too.

It‘s been a while since I stayed up past my bedtime with a book, but I finished the last two books of this #Libby compendium over the last two mornings, at 12:50 and 1:30 AM. I find these books silly and delightful and sometimes unforgivably frivolous, but apparently that‘s exactly what I needed to combat anxiety this week. I‘m already making plans to dive into Carriger‘s YA series next.

iread2much I love this series, but I hated the series about Prudence. The Finishing School series is fun though, I highly recommend it. 6y

You like steampunk, supernatural or sherlock? Yes? Than you should read this wonderful funny book series. It has mysteriously disappearing vampires, a steamy romance with a werewolf Lord, a snarky soulless main character, a gay vampire Lord and a very handy parasol. It's so funny and I love the steampunk references.
Alexia has a sharp mind and is totally set on following the clues, spice up her spinster life and prove her innocence along the way.

JenWindramReads I've heard great things about these books! 7y
adoredpages @JenWindramReads they're definitely worth a look! 😊 7y

If I had the money and the wherewithal I'd totally make steampunk fashion a part of my life - so I choose Alexia as my #characteriddressupas for #booktober

Crinoline_Laphroaig This series is next up on my binge reading list. Can't wait! 8y
Litlady Very cool! 🙌 😎 8y

Turns out the full Parasol Protectorate series is only $16.99 for Kindle. Decided to buy the whole thing since I have been enjoying Soulless so much.
