message 11: by Danny (new)

Danny Knestaut (dannyknestaut) Hello. I picked up Whitechapel Gods by SM Peters a few years ago and fell in love with the steampunk aesthetic. It was rich, atmospheric read, the kind that reminded me why I fell in love with reading. I've since been looking for good steampunk books to read, so I thought I'd join a few groups and collect some suggestions.

Pamela aka Scottieluvr (scottieluvr) Hello Steampunkers!!

I've just returned to Good Reads - after life got in the way - so am looking forward to more challenges and book discussions. I'm also a fan of weird western/steampunk combinations.

Brit (shewouldread) | 3 comments Hi Hi! I've been reading Steampunk but have forgotten to post in here! Also would love to find a co-blogger for the SteamPunk genre if anyone in here is interested!

Maldeb (meldab) Hello....... is this group still active?

It seems a bit quiet out there, I am hoping to get some good advice on future reading material.

Cheers :)

Hello! No, it doesn't seem like this group is still active. I can try and offer you some advice, however, or at least trade recommendations. I know what a struggle it is to find good steampunk reading.

We still do the steampunk challenge on our blogs, but we haven't had the time to do the book club version of it because life got in the way.


message 17: by Maldeb (new)

Maldeb (meldab) oh that's a shame. I was hoping to get some good tips on reading material. I will keep an eye out here just in case things change and someone is able to get things going again. Thanks

Yea, I personally probably won't be back into the reading regime until later this year because I'm currently in my 3rd trimester of pregnancy and my baby will be here end of April/early May.

However, here are some helpful links if you're looking for more Steampunk books!

- Goodreads Steampunk
- Popular Steampunk Books
- Best Steampunk Books

Hope those help you with some reading material!

Maldeb (meldab) Thanks Stephanie,

I really appreciate it. Good luck with the bub.....my baby days are well and truly behind me, although I'm sure it will be grand babies in a few more years. Thanks for the links and take care. :)
