Me: “Never judge a book by its cover!”
Also me: *buys an entire book series because I love the covers* 😳

In my defense, look how amazing these covers are (in a bizarre steampunk kinda way)! 🤩

LitStephanie The automated aristocrats one is pretty bizarre! 😁 2y

Gissy Love those covers too! 😍🙋🏽‍♀️Did you read the series? Sounds interesting! 2y

DaveGreen7777 @LitStephanie Agreed! 😁 2y

DaveGreen7777 @Gissy I did read the “Spring-Heeled Jack” book. It was good… but very bizarre! It even featured a steampunk version of Charles Darwin himself! 😱 2y

Gissy @DaveGreen7777 That is weird😳 2y

Branwen These DO look amazing! 😱💕📚 A totally justifiable purchase, in my opinion! 😁 2y

DogMomIrene I so get this. I‘ll see beautiful rebranded covers for series I love and I have to restrain myself.😂 2y

DaveGreen7777 @Branwen HA HA, thank you! 😁 2y

DaveGreen7777 @DogMomIrene I‘m glad Littens can understand my purchasing practices! 😁 2y

Avanders Lol. I…. Always judge books by their covers. But like… just books. 🤭😂 2y

DaveGreen7777 @Avanders Very good advice! 😁 2y

Avanders 😁 Also, when you read the first one of these … tag me? I may be interested 😄 2y

DaveGreen7777 @Avanders I have actually read the Springheeled Jack book. I really liked it! It‘s weird and dark at parts, but it‘s such a fascinating alternate history that even features steampunk versions of famous historical figures like Charles Darwin and Florence Nightengale! 😱 2y

Avanders Oooh ok fun! Thanks! 😁🤩 2y

RaeLovesToRead How did I miss this post?? 😲 I adore the UK covers to thus series too ❤ 2y

RaeLovesToRead *this 2y

DaveGreen7777 @RaeLovesToRead Hee hee, fun fact, whenever I see a poll on Bookstagram asking if the U.S. or U.K. covers are better, more often than not I vote for the U.K. ones. The U.K. has all the coolest stuff, especially when it comes to book covers… and rock bands… and Raes! 😎 2y

RaeLovesToRead Awww! 😊💕 You guys have The Killers though! When I finally manage to visit the US, I'll probably end up buying a load of books I already own, but with US covers 😁😁 2y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Me too!! 2y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Where does everyone buy UK covers? 2y

pick

A delightfully humorous romp through steam-punk, alternate-history Victorian England. Light-hearted & frequently funny. Great for those who like steam-punk, Victorian Era mysteries, or historical fiction.

so-so

It was a good read, but the last part seemed a bit rushed. I feel like there could be more to this story.

Decided to finally continue reading a book I'd put down months ago and found this Valentine's card I'd been using as a bookmark 😊❤
Anyone else like to use cards as bookmarks?

For all that I read over 17h this weekend, I only finished one graphic novel and a book with only 2 Ch. left. This because I read ALL THE BOOKS, and one of them is 1k pages long. 😂 So let's start another one, why don't I? 🙄 This one is short. Short stories even. And essays. And not in Litsy database, so I tagged the first book in the series.

TobeyTheScavengerMonk I liked The Strange Affair of Spring-Heeled Jack but never kept going with the series. One day, I suppose... 6y

Leniverse @TobeyTheScavengerMonk I‘ve only read the first one too, but this companion volume is available on Kindle Unlimited where I currently have a 3-month trial. It‘s a companion to the first two books, so I guess I should have read book 2 first, but it doesn‘t seem too heavy on the spoilers. 6y

This alternate history steampunk series chronicles the adventures of real-life explorer Sir Richard Francis Burton and his buddy, real-life poet and sado-masochist Algernon Swinburne. The bad guys find this out when they capture and torture Swinburne and he has the time of his life. #booklove17 #SandM

Leniverse 😮 I must have this! 8y

TobeyTheScavengerMonk @Leniverse I haven't read the rest of the series, but this was a fun wild ride. 8y

Leniverse It certainly sounds it! 8y

This is the only steampunk book I've read. I do have others (including the rest of this series) but they're all in boxes (hence no photo). I quite liked it, suited the mystery lover in me. I read so long ago, I don't recall who were all the (real) Victorian people in it. I would however want to own what passed for a taxi in this book. Would make a killing flitting people about town. #seasonsreading2016 #steampunk

melissanorr This has been on my TBR since I stumbled across it at the library! 8y

drokka @melissanorr I really need to find the next ones to catch up on the series. If only we could invent a time machine. 8y
