Books on Tap, Phoenixville Public Library’s book discussion group for 20and 30-somethings, will meet at Great American Pub, 148 Bridge St., Phoenixville, on Tuesday, May 31, at 7:00 PM. The group will discuss “Gideon the Ninth,” the award-winning bestseller by Tamsyn Muir. The Emperor needs necromancers. The Ninth Necromancer needs a swordsman. Gideon, brought up by unfriendly, ancient retainers and countless skeletons, is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse. She packs up her sword, her shoes, her dirty magazines and prepares to escape. But her childhood nemesis won’t set her free without demanding a service.
