R.
A. Vucci is hosting the 5th annual Clocks,Cogs,
and Mechanisms Reading Challenge this year. When this challenge was first
created, the world of steampunk was still fairly unknown, but not new. This is
a genre that has been inspired by the works of H.G. Wells, Jules Verne, and
H.P. Lovecraft to name a few. For those who have never experienced steampunk, a
typical steampunk novel takes place in the Victorian era and involves lots of
steam-powered technologies ahead of their time. There are variations and other
time periods that fall into this category, but the Victorian era ones are the
most common.
There
were the levels to this challenge:
Brass
Gears: Read 1-3 books
Flight Goggles: Read 4-7 books
Button-up Boots: Read 8-11 books
Clockwork Corset: Read 12+ book
Flight Goggles: Read 4-7 books
Button-up Boots: Read 8-11 books
Clockwork Corset: Read 12+ book
I
don't read a lot of steampunk, but I have enjoyed my brief forays into the
genre. So I decided to go light and committed to the Brass Gears level. I
finished that up on August 2nd (finally got my review done!). Thanks to R. A.
Vucci for hosting this one.
