finished reading

I haven't enjoyed a series in a while--where I finish a book and immediately move on to the next installment.  I am so caught up in Emma M. Lion's world that I just can't get enough.  Emma's quest to find employment is madcap and funny! I enjoyed the celebration of Emma's birthday as she finally came of age and is now the mistress of Lapis Lazuli House and of her destiny!  The Golden Age of Friendship with Islington, Pierce, and Hawkes is ramped up in this volume.  

From the publisher:

There is bedlam, and there is delightful bedlam.

This afternoon touched on the second, much to my pleasure.

The Year is 1884 and Emma M. Lion has, at long last, gained her majority. Entering a golden age of friendship with Pierce, Islington, and Hawkes, Emma is confident she will manage whatever comes her way. It is The Season she must help Arabella secure a husband, while navigating the threat of Aunt Eugenia, the unflagging adoration of Charles Goddard, and the amusing unpredictability of St. Crispian’s. But the secrets of her trusted friends are what might very well bring about disaster.

Emma M. Lion offers up her Unselected Journals, however self-incriminating they may be. Armed with wit and a sideways amusement, Emma documents the curious realities of her life at Lapis Lazuli House.
