This was an engaging and fun read with plenty of adventure and action and likable main characters. There were times when the continuity of the world-building stuttered a little, but overall a fun pick.

This was another #NewYearWhoDis pick, so thanks for the recommendation @Cupcake12 & for the match @monalyisha !!

TheAromaofBooks This also checked off the Debut box for #JanuaryBookBingo and the Non-Human Characters box for #TurningPagesBingo! 5y

Today's #libraryhaul is all Litsy's fault - mostly books for #NewYearWhoDis along with two for January's #AuthoroftheMonth , Fredrick Backman (actually have never read one of his books!) January's TBR is already stacking up!!

@Cupcake12 @Soubhiville

Cupcake12 That looks like a great pile! Enjoy x 5y
TheAromaofBooks @Cupcake12 - thank you!! I'm excited!! 5y
Soubhiville That‘s great! I‘ll be reading Us Against You as well 😊 5y
TheAromaofBooks @Soubhiville - Backman is one of those authors who has been on my periphery for a while, but I have never quite gotten around to reading. One of my book blogging friends has been on me to read Beartown and its sequel for quite a while, so I think January may finally be the time!! 5y

Super excited about participating in #NewYearWhoDis with my match @Cupcake12 !! I haven't even heard of a couple of these, so I am excited to explore some new books!! Do any of you see a favorite here??

Cupcake12 I love them all but How to Stop Time is my fave.....and the movie is out next year! Hope you enjoy ❤️📖 @TheAromaofBooks 5y
monalyisha I agree. Matt Haig‘s a great writer! 5y
TheAromaofBooks @Cupcake12 - They all sound good, although I may skip Beetle Boy since bugs kind of give me the heebie jeebies!! Hopefully you can find some books you enjoy from my list as well!! 5y
TheAromaofBooks @Cupcake12 @monalyisha - I don't know how I haven't heard about How to Stop Time before, as it totally sounds like my kind of book!! I'm excited to read it. 5y

I don‘t normally like this type of of book but the cover design jumped out at me. I wasn‘t disappointed as I began to read about a beautifully drawn world that had a great plot and lovable characters. On to the next one in the series now.

It's like a combination of Neil Gaiman's Coraline & Stardust but leaning more into steampunk and with space pirates. Also! Why do we as readers and writers under use space pirates?! As an adult reading middle grade, this is quite predictable.For the target audience, this would be a good read with good morals, lovable characters. There's nothing graphically violent but it's darker and has an eerie feeling for most of the book. Solid Halloween read.

eri.reads You had me at space pirates... 5y

The books are perfect, the candle smells amazing (and yes—seems very Victorian!), & I‘m so excited about the teas! I‘m already wearing the necklace—it matches the skirt I‘m wearing.😊The caramels look yummy, and I‘ll be sure to record my steampunk adventures in the journal.😉 Also—such cute wrapping paper!! Hope your box arrived okay?

Several trips to the DIY store, especially to the shelves at the very back of the large shop, have made Monday and Tuesday a real success. Today is a little laid-back. Met some friends for breakfast, spent the afternoon reading, but there will be another trip to the DIY store later.

Lazy day today. I needed it. 5k steps so far. Not bad, actually, for a lazy day.

Got some reading time, made plum crumble and finished the fingerless mittens - inspired by the tagged book.

Second day with lots of steps (my average is 5k), hardly any reading, and a lot of active minutes.

Not quite sure what I'm enjoying more right now: Sitting outside at 31°C but there's a breeze that is blowing at my fabric panels. I have iced oat-milk coffee, incense sticks, and -last but not least- a middle grade steampunk story.

Managed to read over 16 hours within the official 48 hour time frame. It was 18.5 hours if I use my local time, CEST, as reference points. I'm sure I could have done 24 hours with an intriguing audiobook. That means, better planning next time.

Finished 4 books, made progress on three more.

I thought it was hay-fever with a bit of a cold. Now it's the other way round. Gah! Can I get a break? Stat! I hate being ill all the time.

Seth and I just finished this story set in steampunk, Victorian England. We both enjoyed it though for the age it's aimed at (I'd say 10+) we'd perhaps have liked a bit more back story about the intriguing mechanicals and mechanimals. It's an unusual, gripping story despite a couple of brutal parts which were perhaps passed over a little too quickly. We're excited to read the follow up - Moonlocket - next. (Covers are gorgeous too) #raisingreaders

Mehso-so

Peter Bunzl's debut fantasy novel for children aged 12+ is a solid steampunk adventure with a strong main character, some great world building and genuinely creepy scenes but it's hampered by two-dimensional antagonists and guessable twists.
