I think this was my first "steampunk" read, and I loved the world Wesley Allison (HistoryWes on MR) created. It was intriguing how past, future, and magic is all one in the world. Brechalon is a short novella prequel to the first novel, The Voyage of the Minotaur, and I'm anxious to begin book one.

I'm on Part Two of The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne, this month's book club book. It was a bit slow in the beginning until I realized that it was written in the late 1800's (before TV) and the long, detailed descriptions were probably used to "paint" a picture for readers of the era.

I've also begun, Future Diary by Sakae Esuno ( a manga pbook) that was an impulse buy when I was purchasing a Mother's Day gift for my mom.
