Comming! Steampunk Week!

What I have been enjoying about steampunk is that different cultures and time-lines get blended into the costumes and worlds which I find so interesting. This is a world in which almost anything can happen in a pioneering way. I hope you find it as interesting as I do. However, coming this week:

An author who was the inspiration for the week! A great guest post and giveaway by Philippa Ballantine! Squee!
There also may be other giveaways within the week as well... *looks mischievously*  so you need to stay tuned. :)

Of course if you are new to the genre, I have some reviews I hope that will inspire you to pick up your first book to enjoy. There are some great books out there and not just the few you have heard about! So, I didn't add the Gail Carriger series (ebooks 1-3 discounted right now for $9.99 details HERE) or The Iron Duke only because it already has so much "press" out there in bloggy-land. Doesn't mean that I forgot them or don't love them, just that I wanted to show there are more books in the genre out there. 

I do hope though that you will enjoy the week!

  14. Ooh, yay for steampunk! One of my favs has got to be Cherrie Priest. Only she could mesh the Civil War with zombies and with steampunk!
