pickI‘ve had most of this series in my Audible library for several years but I‘m only just now getting around to listening to it. I found it enjoyable for the most part. Riots in the streets are actually pretty scary. I have a question for my friends in the #LitsySciFiBookClub and for anyone else who cares to offer an opinion. Is Steam Punk science fiction or fantasy? I‘m of the opinion that it is science fiction.
iread2much I think it can be science fiction, but I think most the stuff I‘ve read it more fantasy - with werewolves and vampires 😁 1y
CatLass007 @iread2much So you‘ve been reading Steampunk that also has werewolves and vampires? Interesting. Well, there are only humans in this series. But what series or authors are you reading? Sounds like they could be fun. 1y
iread2much @CatLass007 I love the Parasol Protectorate series by Gail Carriger. Fabulous series, quite funny, and lots of werewolves and vampires 😊 1y

CatLass007 @iread2much I have the Parasol Protectorate on my never ending wish list. I guess I missed the part in the book blurb about vampires and werewolves. Now I want to listen to it even more. 1y
CatLass007 @iread2much I just looked at the book blurb again and there in the first paragraph of Soulless is the part about vampires and werewolves.🤷♀️ (edited) 1y
iread2much @CatLass007 I hope you enjoy it! I love that series, it‘s a constant reread for me, and I enjoyed most of the series set in that world. 😊 1y
CatLass007 @iread2much Thank you. Growing up and for probably the first 35 years of my life, my go-to genre was science fiction. I read mysteries and fantasies too, but at some point I started reading and listening to mostly urban fantasy. I want to get back to reading more science fiction and I‘m getting a little more added to my monthly reading plan. It‘s not really a fixed plan, but it‘s more of a plan than I‘ve ever had before. I guess all the (cont)⬇️ 1y
CatLass007 @iread2much dystopian YA that I started “snacking” on back when The Hunger Games first came out would count as science fiction. But I think it‘s back to a more adult diet for me. I still haven‘t gotten back to The Hunger Games prequel, and I‘m not in any rush. 1y
iread2much @CatLass007 I highly recommend Mercedes Lacky‘s Hunter series! It‘s sooooo much better than the Hunger Games (IMO) and combined YA dystopian with some fantasy elements, so I think it might interest you. Enjoy your reading and good luck with your reading plan!![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

HunterCatLass007 @iread2much I think I‘ve read other other stories she‘s written, although I can‘t remember which. And something really cool is that her Hunter series is included with my Audible subscription and I had already added the books to my library. Thank you for such a resounding recommendation. The series has been bumped up on my list, thanks to you. 1y
iread2much @CatLass007 that‘s great! I hope you enjoy them 😊 1y
CatLass007 @iread2much Thank you. There are quite a few of her books that are included with my Audible subscription. And she has a collaborator or two with several of those books. Interesting. 1y
Bookwomble Steampunk as a term was coined by K. W. Jeter for his tagged sci-fi novel, but there are precursors of the style before he named it. It's developed into a hybrid genre that can include fantasy and supernatural elements. I guess that if it looks like steampunk, locomotes like steampunk and clanks like steampunk, it's steampunk! 🚂🤖🤖🤖😁Morlock Night (edited) 1y
Morlock NightCatLass007 @Bookwomble Thank you. I like knowing the origins of words. Who knew you could explain so much in so few words? Something odd is that I just used the 🚂 emoji in a text to my cousin, who is a train conductor. I didn‘t even know there was a train emoji until about two minutes before I read your comment. I will look up the book you tagged. 1y
