Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish

Happy Tuesday, readers! It’s been a while since I posted a Top Ten Tuesday post but I’m excited to share with you a newly discovered genre that I absolutely can’t get enough of – STEAMPUNK! I know, I know, I am pretty much late into this genre but I am planning to remedy that.

Here are some Steampunk books you need to add to your TBR pile (if you haven’t already done so).

Also, please note that I have basically only read a few Steampunk books because

Evernight by Kristen Callihan
The Falconer by Elizabeth May
4/5
4/5

EVERNIGHT by Kristen Callihan

OMG! That was my reaction when I read this book. I was blown away by the awesomeness that was Holly Evernight and Will Thorne! I love this spin on Beauty and the Beast and it’s a definite must read. This book is about Holly Evernight who has the power to manipulate iron and a Sanguis demon who she created an iron heart by force. Yeah. DRAMA! And holy hotness Batman!

THE FALCONER by Elizabeth May

I didn’t expect much with The Falconer. In fact, I have been putting this off for a number of years. Little did I know that this book would ABSOLUTELY BLOW ME AWAY! I love the YA elements to this plus, there isn’t really a romance! And did I mention that there is a mysterious fae prince?

CLOCKWORK ANGEL by Cassandra Clare

Even though I am not a fan of The Mortal Instruments, I absolutely enjoyed Clockwork Angel. In fact, I breezed through the 3 books in this series!

 

Steampunk Books that I need to Read ASAP

I am now on the lookout for these books! I have already added these books to my TBR pile with my goal to read these book before the end of this year!

      Thanks for the recs, Steph!

      I also started reading Etiquette and Espionage a few years ago but I had a hard time getting into it! Maybe this time will be different! 🙂

    Soulless and the rest of the Parasol Protectorate series is SO great! Really funny and full of great characters. And if you like it there is a prequel YA series that I also really enjoyed; first book is Etiquette and Espionage. I loved The Falconer too. Otherwise I haven’t read much steampunk, I’ll have to add some of these to my list! The fact that you loved Clockwork Angel without liking TMI has me interested because I only read City of Bones and wasn’t impressed. I tend to go for steampunk-lite it seems, like Timekeeper and The Dark Unwinding.

      Oh Morgan, Clockwork Angel is more steampunk-lit AND there is a love triangle but everything else worked for me which was why I enjoyed it. I also only read City of Bones and it was bleehh… haha

      I started reading Etiquette and Espionage a few years ago but wasn’t into it. I may retry reading it soon! 🙂
