Madame Askew and The Grand Arbiter

January 18th at 4:30 PM Pacific (Seattle)

The beginning of the year means we return to our convivial monthly book chat, hosted by me and my dear comrade in bookish nonsense, Bill Bodden. I am thrilled to share this month’s book pick, Esprit de Corpse by Ef Deal. This rollicking steampunk mystery is a wonderful way to start our year together! The delightful author will be our guest this month so do bring your questions for her. As always, I will do my utmost to make sure everyone gets the chance to ask at least one question.

Our book chat is the third Sunday of the month, January 18th, at 4:30 PM Pacific. 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.

Excited for a new year of Steampunk, Gaslight, and Historical Fantasy reads? Be certain to save our reading list for the coming year.
