Boneshaker | 
#BookReport
Managed to finish off three of my reads this week which felt amazing because it seemed like I was making no progress at all for a while.
#WeeklyForecast
Goal this week is to finish Labrynth Lost then dig more into Orphan's Tale. The Heinlein should go pretty fast as it's my commute book.
pickThis was a weird mashup of alt history, steampunk, and zombies of all thing but it kind of worked for me lol. I did the audio and Kate Reading and Wil Wheaton were the perfect portrayal of their POV characters. Wil Wheaton really sold the troublesome teenager angle. Overall this was fun and I liked the way the characters came together through adversity.
pickI listened to an audio version of this. Wil Wheaton read the part of the son. I really enjoyed his narration. The story was also quite good. I'm curious to read the next book in the series.
pickAn awesome steampunk adventure with two great narrators! Love the world Priest established; Seattle has become a biohazard zone after Leviticus Blue drov his Boneshaker drill under the city, releasing the "blight," a gas that turns people into shambling monsters. When Briar Wilkes' son goes under the city wall to find answers, she has to go after him and see for herself what the city's become after 15 years.
Audio knitting and enjoying my new Schitts Creek stitchmarkers and a Blueberry Bliss from my local coffee shop (to go of course). #audiobooks #knittersoflitsy
Heading out to the porch to get a little audio knitting in before it gets too crazy hot, and try and get a Bingo on my #summerlisteningchallenge from libro.fm! Anyone else participating?
#scarathlon #TeamStoker Just finished this and I‘m not impressed. I usually love steampunk but even with zombies this was a snooze fest. It fits the team theme.
pickJust finished this #steampunk pick up for #booked2018!
It was a lot of steampunky fun, with blight zombies and airships galore! I loved all the adult characters introduced but the teenage son character fell pretty flat for me. I think the rest of the books in this series follow other character‘s perspectives so I‘ll definitely check those out. Cherie Priest! 🙌🏼
⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
so-soI‘m not sure steampunk is really my thing. I thought this was okay. I listened to it and the narration by Wil Wheaton made it worth it. I was entertained by the book but probably not a series I feel compelled to continue. #booked2018
I‘m listening to this one for my first #booked2018. #steampunk. Listening rather than reading because Wil Wheaton
Off to a late start but hopefully can knock out all 6 before the end of the month @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft
My package arrived on Monday, but i forgot to post an update! Thanks i loved all the cute knick nacs! @kaysworld1 . I say we should do a buddy read! #steampunkgoespostal #steampunk
Thanks for the tag @JenlovesJT47 ! ?
1. Book-book? I gave Boneshaker 5* (Thanks for the recommendation @elkeo !) But I've read a whole slew of 5* graphic novels recently (the Locke and Keys and the first 2 Paper Girls. All thanks to Litsy!) #BlameLitsy #BlameitonLitsy
2. I don't give out a lot of 1*, but this: The Phantasmagorical Astrarium Compendium. ?
3. "Wait, What?"
4. @SamHeartCoffee @Chelley @Mollyanna @Pogue

Wow. Just wow @Betty!! You spoiled me! I love that we both gave each other the same graphic novel 😂 seriously though, thank you! The books, the tote and matching change purse, the necklace and mug...oh and not pictured, two delicious dark chocolate bars! 😋 Everything is amazing and I love it! 💜 #steampunkgoespostal @Mommamanzi
So excited about these #steampunkgoespostal goodies from @Crewgurl !!! I will find so many crafty uses for these gears! And this great big bag of chocolate heaven is so amazing!!! You definitely spoiled me!! I love my mug, socks, and I can‘t wait to brew some tea and dig in to these books! But my absolute favorite thing is the dragonfly necklace. Dragonflies are in my top three of favorite animals!!! I‘m so excited!!!!
This was lent to me by a really good friend who said it was a fun read. So I‘m gonna give it a go!#prereadathon
so-soIt's real slow in the beginning, (no joke, it took me several days to get through the first few hours), but it is worth it for all the badass older ladies, some fantastic world building, and a twist I did not predict at all.
And with all the love and respect possible, Wil Wheaton does whiny teenage boy real well. 😂
I'm in this weird place where I'm more looking forward to the next one than I think I liked this one. 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
Why am I struggling so much with this one?
#catsoflitsy #huxleythecat
pickA steampunk novel that I actually enjoyed and wasn‘t bored to tears by. I have the second one but I‘ll have to see about getting my hands on the rest
Hoping I get this finished before midnight tonight. It‘ll be close, I‘m considering going to see the greatest showman this afternoon. I‘m about halfway through and I have to admit that this is the first steampunk book I‘m actually enjoying so that‘s a good sign.
What to read next? Looking at these three. Ghost Bride? The Nest ? Or Boneshaker?
pickThough I certainly enjoyed this one, I can't help but admit I could have enjoyed it more.
It had a lot of really great elements, from anachronistic inventions to blight gas induced zombies, and a fun plot with just the right amount of tension and surprises. However, it generally felt a bit rushed. There were so many things I would have liked to spend more time on.
Still, overall, quite a fun read.
The other lady waiting in this doctor's office and I have the same methods of waiting.
Starting this one, which will be my #letterP for #LitsyAtoZ. Can't remember the last time I read any steampunk other than short stories. 🤔
pickThis was my first steampunk and I loved it! It reminded me of the books I loved when I was obsessed with fantasy. Zombies, pirates, sci fi, and an adventure fueled by a mother's love for her son; what more could you ask for!?
It's hard to tell in the light I'm provided now but the font in this book is brown. I love it! I hope I end up liking this book because it's so long 😳
Started reading this on audio (read by Kate Reading and Wil Wheaton) on recommendation from @elkeo .... so far, loving it!! 👍🏽👍🏽 Let's see... a machine is built in the late 1800s in alternative Seattle and either malfunctions or is used with ill intent, either way resulting in the destruction of the city, the death of many, and potentially the release of toxic gas that causes the city to be quarantined. Fast forward 15'ish years to this book..
Oh Lort, but this book is dragging! After reading Brimstone and adoring it, I'm finding this a disappointing and dull read. The narration is very good, but even with just an hour left, part of me feels like bailing - does this series get better? 😭😭😭
New favorite section of the bookcase. #steampunk
Used books book haul for this week! And of course I went in "just to browse..." ? #bookhaul #usedbooks #feverseries #KMM #dragons
pickThis was a fun read. I suspended my disbelief and went on the crazy steampunk ride. I did feel it could have used some editing, but overall a good pick. ⭐⭐⭐1/2
#steampunk #recommendedreading
Narrated by Will Wheaton? Get your geek on! #geeklove #steampunk
pickJust finished Boneshaker on Hoopla and loved it! Love stream punk worlds and there was a lot of action and intrigue in this one! Will be looking forward to the rest of the series!
$10 book haul at Half Price Books today. All clearance + 20% off. Score! #bookhaul
Halfway through this audiobook and loving it!!! Anyone else read these?
so-soGoing into listening to this book I had no idea what this book was about. I like it had two different narrators for each point of view. The story was okay but I do not feel the need to run out and find the next book.
Oh, steampunk, how I love you in all of your glorious formats...even that Key and Peele sketch.
On of the left is Cherie Priest's Boneshaker which started one of the most well-known steampunk series, it basically defined the genre. On the right is an amazing new novel by Nisi Shawl called Everfair, steampunk in an alternate Belgian Congo timeline.

My nephew listens to even more audiobooks than I do and he also makes a lot of #steampunk wearable art. I listened to Boneshaker on his suggestion but it wasn't quite my cup of tea. Too many plot holes. My favourite #steampunk is Angelmaker.
I was supposed to read this for my book club, but I never got around to finishing it. Now, it's been so long that I need to start over, and it needs to join my loooong #tbr list.
