Hot cup of tea and a book. Perfect way to recover on this frigid New Year's Day.

Full disclosure: I know the author, but I'd love this book even if I didn't.

Dropping everything to read my much awaited ARC from Faith! Isn't the cover beautiful?! #OperationNebraskaAuthor

She said his sister used to "give him the devil" because he didn't go to church on Sundays. But the land was his church, she said. [...] That's worship-- one man caring for his little bit of creation, sustaining it so it can support even the seventh generation.

Fantastic. Not only did Shoemaker truthfully and beautifully paint the Nebraska prairie & its inhabitants, she makes the reader experience the fear & pain that people of German ancestry & German immigrants felt during the anti-German sentiment that ran rampant coast-to-coast during WWI. Similar to what is happening today.

I love this description of the plains in winter because that is exactly what it looks like. #OperationNebraskaAuthor

My next pick for #OperationNebraskaAuthor is the 2016 One Book One Nebraska Winner and in light of the world we're in today, it's tale of the immigrant experience and prejudice caused by nationalism during WWI is something we can relate to now.

Not all goggles and gears, this steampunk novel is all adventure with the random automaton & steam engine. We follow Captain Roberts of the airship Horizon as he works to repair the ship after an explosion & rebuild his crew, all while trying to keep out of the attention of Sir Smothers, the man who controls shipping across the globe.
Suspense, air pirates, &Victorian robots, what else do you need?
