Can you tell I've been on a steampunk kick recently? Speaking of which, do any of you have any suggestions for good steampunk books? I've read both the Airborn series by Kenneth Oppel and the Leviathan series by Scott Westerfeld, and I love them both. I think it's something about airships. Seriously, they're just the coolest. Things. Ever. I almost wrote my NaNo11 about a girl on an airship, however I gave up that idea for my circus idea. Perhaps not the best choice, considering my circus story sort of... flopped. I won, yes, but that poor novel... not pretty. Not pretty at all.
Also, it's my last day of break today. I don't want to go back. Even though I was totally lazy, and didn't actually really see, well, anybody, and watched far too much TV, it was a nice break. Sigh. Also, I'm guessing I'll be posting less, as once again I'll be back in school.

As to good steampunk novels, have you read Cherie Priest's books? I've only read Boneshaker, but it's fantastic and has airships.
ReplyDeleteSteampunk, steampunk . . . off the top of my head, there's Worldshaker by Richard Harland and Incarceron by Catherine Fisher. I know I've read more but I can't think of the titles.
ReplyDeleteINCARCERN/WORLDSHAKER!!!!!!! =D
ReplyDeleteI have yet to see the appeal of Steampunk...I kinda like the technological advances of this century! But I love Westerfield (Pretties, but that's more sci-fi...Doctor Who lines) and my son loved Leviathan. I have no recommendations, sorry!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestions! I spent about two hours searching for good steampunk, and didn't come up with too much. Now I have stuff to read. ;)
