The news is on WBEZ.

From WBEZ Chicago, I'm Greta Johnson and this is the Nerd At Book Club.

It's just like a regular book club, except maybe people don't know if you're reading a super sexy romance novel.

This month's selection is Sarah McLean's truly delightful bombshell.

This is a book that has several sorts of explosive situations.

It's about Cessli Talbot, who's squad of bad ass ladies is working to take down the patriarchy in 1830s London.

There is also a broad shoulder gent with a sketchy past named Caleb.

That is all I'm going to say for now because here is your spoiler warning.

If you haven't read the book and you don't want spoilers, go listen to the interview we did with Sarah McLean.

It is in the feed. She is a delight.

If you have read the book or you are cool with spoilers, welcome.

I am super excited to introduce you to this month's panel.
