Posted originally and unabridged to our Patreon

The time has arrived for our final book chat of 2025, and what a delightful treat we have! This month, we’re discussing the start of Madame Gail‘s excellent Finishing School series, Etiquette and Espionage. From the charming characters and the witty repartee to the plot shenanigans and fashionable escapades, this novel is filled with great humour and marvelous world building. It is a pleasure of a read!

And yes, Madame Gail is, in fact, joining us for this book chat! It’s a double Gail weekend! Listen to her monthly live on Saturday and then join us Sunday for our more intimate book chat. Bring your questions for Gail. I will do my utmost, as always, to make sure everyone has a chance to ask Gail at least one question during our discussion.

This is my happy little reminder that you never need to finish the book to join us for our monthly chat, but there may be spoilers. For the best experience, please join us in our Virtual Tea Parlour on zoom at 4:30 PM Pacific (Seattle)–5:30 PM Mountain (Tucson) — 6:30 PM Central (Madison)–7:30 PM Eastern (Montreal) or follow along on our YouTube channel.

The zoom link for our Virtual Tea Parlour will be posted approximately 2 hours before the event here and on the Facebook event page.
