Books & Brews at Wolfden Brewing

Books & Brews at Wolfden Brewing

As a reader, I've been to a few author events at breweries and they are amazing. Now I am going to be one of those authors at a brewery! You are invited to come and enjoy the first ever Books and Brews at Wolfden Brewery in September.

I heard about this event from a fellow writer and was excited to submit an application. (Yay!) I got a response almost immediately, but all the spot were filled. (Boo!) My writer friend, however, was accepted. (Yay!) I asked to at least be placed on the waitlist. (Boo!) The response was that my writer friend offered to share her table. (Yay!) So not only do I get to be part of Books & Brews, but I get to hang out with someone special! (Even more Yay!)

Books & Brews will be held at Wolfden Brewery, 112 West Lake Street in Bloomingdale, Illinois on Sunday, September 14, from 1:00p until 3:00p. They created a Facebook event and 140 people have already responded, so it looks like it will be a great afternoon. In addition to their draft beer, Wolfden also offers cocktails and food, a luxury many breweries don't have. Although it's not in my neighborhood exactly, I have been to Wolfden Brewery before and enjoyed it very much. 

I'm really looking forward to this inaugural Books and Brews event and hope you will come out for a cold one and new read!

What is Agatha Annotated?

This website is the home of the Agatha Christie database as annotated by Kate Gingold, hence the name Agatha Annotated.

It's a rich glossary of

  • nearly 1900 terms
  • over 200 illustrations
  • 347 French phrases

Kate found them while reading Agatha Christie novels, and wrote them, along with definitions curated from years of research, into this database.

Currently the first 11 Christie books, those she wrote in the 1920s, are annotated here. 

Anybody can be a member and gain access to this rich glossary. Visit the Community page to learn the details.

We took the 1920s terms and published a book, Agatha Annotated: Investigating the Books of the 1920s, now available on Amazon in Paperback or Kindle format.

Kate will be adding to the database and members get the new terms and definitions first before the second volume is printed, plus members can comment and ask questions about the terms and Kate and other members can reply.

We hope you enjoy. Click around the pages to learn more.

Kate Gingold

... has been a huge fan of the works of Agatha Christie her entire adult life. Christie's vivid descriptions of picturesque English life in the early-to-mid twentieth century fascinated Kate, but many of the people and places were unfamiliar to her. A writer herself, as well as a researcher and historian with several local history books to her credit, Kate began a list of these strange words and set out to define them. Now, Christie fans like you and all those who come after will be able to fully enjoy the richness of Agatha Christie novels with their own copy of Agatha Annotated.
