I thought this steampunk-like adventure with mystery and romance was a lot of fun. The characters have great banter and there is a good amount of cheekiness. There is supposed to be a second book in the future and I would pick it up too. #Booked2023 #GaslampFantasy

A Victorian British aristocrat who (while secretly an inventor and military arms dealer) is in desperate need of a husband so as to keep her fortune teams up with a slightly bumbling American cowboy-esque spy to locate 3 missing scientists kidnapped from a ball, & prevent a lethal weapon from falling into the hands of the enemy. This was a good enough read. I think there are stronger examples of the steampunk genre but it was entertaining enough.

Goodness! How dare he!

Oh, just wait and see how he dared. He even dares to do a lot more provocative things involving reading material.

🤣🤣🤣

mrsmarch I‘m slightly intrigued but also I‘d go crazy...I‘ve never had that spelling of my married name inflicted on me before! 4y

julesG @mrsmarch It took me several attempts to get it right in my review, too. 🙈🙈🙈 Looked a bit like drunk typing to me. 4y

mrsmarch @julesG UE? Get it all the time. OU? I live with it. Just a U? Y‘all be forgetting a letter, I just don‘t know which one. 4y

GingerAntics This quote us odd, but the commentary on it is GREAT!!! (edited) 4y

Steampunk-esque mystery romance adventure - I have no other way to describe it.

Lots of fun. Witty banter. A heroine who takes no nonsense. A hero who has flaws like reading in public, or wearing a Stetson. 😁

This is what my Sunday looks like. Because, guess what broke yet again Friday evening?

Candles burning, very cozy blanket, the curious and goofy #GhostCat, thermos with tea, knitting bag, laptop, books...

@squirrelbrain, I'll answer your emails later, both of them. It was actually my turn. Mea culpa!

I did something really stupid last week Thursday. The stupid thing? I walked from my desk to the kitchen. Well, that's what I intended to do. I fell flat on my face on the way. Have lovely bruises on forearms, knees, shins.
Anyway, my physiotherapist thinks taping with kinesiology tape might help with the foot drop. (yes, @GingerAntics it matches my hair)

I've decided, not walking around might be the best solution. 😏

Megabooks Get well soon! 4y

Lreads I‘m sorry that happened. I hope everything heals quickly! 💕 4y

Cathythoughts Oh no , I hope you feel better soon. X 4y

Susanita Oh dear. I hope you feel better soon. 4y

Andrew65 Ouch! 😢 Hope fully recovered soon. Read keeps me sane too! 4y

GingerAntics Ouch! It‘s still illegal to pull one of the children out of school and make them your servant? Make them carry you around and get things for you, so you can avoid walking. I hope you feel better soon. If this magical tape helps, yay for tape!!! You have a lot of blue things in your life. 4y

julesG @GingerAntics It's funny how the blue things turn up. I'm not doing it on purpose, other than the hair. Kids still have to go to school. 4y

julesG @Megabooks @QuietlyLaura @Cathythoughts @Susanita @Andrew65 - Thanks! 4y

Megabooks Also I have a chronically sprained ankle right now and just ordered this compression support from American Amazon. Perhaps they have something similar in Germany? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B071CW3XST?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image 4y

Megabooks Obviously check with your therapist. 💙💙 foot and ankle pain is no fun! 4y

GingerAntics Because blue things are awesome and they find the awesome people!!! There are valuable life lessons in helping, though. Stupid school. 4y

julesG @Megabooks Thanks! I have foot drop due to multiple sclerosis. I have several torture devices that I can wear or add to my footwear, in addition to having to wear compression stockings (like an old lady). I have eliminated possible sources of accidents (rugs, etc). It's all helping to a certain extent. And then there is that one day every few months when my fatigue is kicking in, I'm not paying enough attention and fall over my own feet. 4y

julesG @Megabooks At the moment, the best course of action is trying to strengthen my core muscles. Because that might help with balance. 😐 I'm a work in progress. 😉 4y

Megabooks @julesG how did I not know you have MS? I‘m so sorry I missed that! I‘m glad you have a plan of action to work on your core strength. 💜 4y

julesG @Megabooks Thank you. I don't need to mention that I hate all the core exercise, but I'm doing it anyway. 😣 4y

Caroline2 Ouch! I hope you feel better soon! 4y

julesG @Caroline2 Thanks! Have entered the purple-yellow phase of bruising. So, I'm on the mend. 😁 4y

BiblioLitten How are you feeling now? 💜 4y

julesG @BiblioLitten Better. Still bruised, still wearing my blue tape. But no longer too stiff. Thanks for asking. 4y
