After bumping this for Witch Slap (#netgalley), I‘m back with Alexia and company. This series is just so delightful. I‘m going to be sad when it is over.
Anyone have any recommendations for light steampunk reads like this? Think Steampunk cozy.
While I absolutely ❤️ the Newbury & Hobbes and Jackaby series, the Parasol Protectorate is such lighthearted fun.
I didn‘t get as into her Finishing School books; I‘m not into YA leaning stories right now.

ChaoticMissAdventures I adored this series! It is so much fun and I liked the balance of romance and adventure. I used to be super into Steampunk, this was by far my favorite and I thought, the best written series. If you enjoy graphic novels The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is a fantastic steampunk read (not as funny as this.) or if you can find it (smaller press) Agatha is also amazing 3mo
ChaoticMissAdventures Also look for books by Pip Ballantine (Phoenix Rising); and she gets mixed reviews on Goodreads but I enjoyed most all of Cherie Priests books, they don't have the same romance steamy lines but are pure steampunk books like 3mo

Maybe it‘s because I went to a tea (Harry Potter themed) today, but I‘m finding myself drawn back to this series again.I love these steampunk supernatural little adventures.
Perhaps this will be my next read. I‘d like something lighter after Lone Women.

April's Doublespin was another delightful romp in the Parasol Protectorate series.
I'm doing quite well this year, though I did use one of my two #vetos for April's #bookspin choice.

I‘ll play!
1. Alexia Tarrabotti from Soulless- she‘s practical, funny, and a force to be reckoned with. I found her when I was in my mid 20‘s and she was what I needed.
2. Sarah Bishop from the All Saints trilogy- I love those books, and Diana‘s Aunt Sarah feels more like a real woman than the two protagonists.
3. Sophie from Howl‘s Moving Castle- she‘s so real and so feisty! #wondrouswednesday

Eggs Wonderful descriptions 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 2y

This was the tiny break I needed before I work on my two massive reads for the challenge and a work project that I‘ve been putting off. Meat Cute is a prequel and cute and silly and just adorable. It was like opening a box of chocolates and grabbing one at random to discover that, wow! It‘s a really good ganache! (Not my photo, but pertinent to the story.) #pop23 #shortestbookonmytbr

squirrelbrain Aw now I want a baby hedgehog! (edited) 2y
Cortg Adorable! We have a hedgehog storytime at the library I work at coming up. It‘s always a big hit! 2y
MissHel @Cortg ohmygod, seriously?! That‘s the best! One of our branches has read to a goat and before they were reading to chickens. A hedgehog would be AMAZING! 2y

I have a bad habit. When I really love a series, I acquire all of it… and then I don‘t finish it. Sometimes ever. I LOVE the Parasol Protectorate. I love the entire Parasoloverse, except I have three books that I can‘t bring myself to finish. Here‘s number one. It‘s a prequel, and it will certainly be the least serious thing I read all year (unless I‘m very lucky.) #pop23 #shortestbookinmytbrpile

Ruthiella Good luck! 👍 2y
