The Difference Engine | 
so-soMeh. I really wanted to like this more... I didn't feel like the plot really went anywhere, but it was a fun steampunk romp which was very enjoyable in parts.
+16pts for this book as a TBR... Brings my total for the week to 88pts for #MerryReaders #WinterGames
(2 holiday reads, 1 TBR read, 4 holiday movies - home alone 1 & 2, elf, love actually)
bailedThis was a pick for my specfic book club and it's the first book we've chosen that I won't be finishing. I've really enjoyed William Gibson's books in the past, but this plot just dragged on and felt pretty misogynistic. I struggled to get about halfway through before our meeting and based on the discussion I don't think it's something I'll return to. #marchreads #steampunk

pick25th book of the year.
I FINALLY finished The Difference Engine. My brain hurts and I just spent 20 minutes all over the internet trying to clear up all the details that were still fuzzy. I don't even know how to actually go about reviewing this book, I can't. I can just say I honestly loved it and am glad I finally read it. Yay steampunk, the end.
so-soI was so excited to read this book and must admit to being a bit underwhelmed by it. The concept behind it was great and there were many wonderful world building details, but I just really couldn't get into it as I was expecting. I don't know if it was the writing style or what, I'm having trouble figuring that out. However, I'm glad I finally read it.
I'm struggling here guys. It's been days and I'm only 77 pages into this book. I've never been what I'd consider a fast reader but I usually do better than this. It's not that I didn't enjoy the first part of the story but it just keeps wandering away from the story to describe in great detail machines I can't wrap my imagination around. I really wanted to love this and haven't decided to give up yet but I don't know. Advice would be appreciated.
My order from #Thiftbooks finally came in today. These plus my charity shop haul last week and my TBR pile is getting a little high. What to read first? I think I've decided though, that's why I tagged it.
This is the only book I have read that might fit the #Steampunk theme. In it Babbage perfects his "computer". I read it years ago, don't remember much else about it. ?#SeasonsReadings2016
A combination #bookhaul and #Litsygoespostal #bookmail ! I am very excited to read The Gettysburg Ghost - it looks like a perfect short and spooky book for #AllHallowsRead ; thank you, Paradise! 👍🏻And, of course, I had to feed my short story collection addiction just a little w/my man Joe Hill. Finally, my wife and I got into a steampunk design show that made me realize I'd never read the Gibson book that helped start it all...
