I've had this idea in my head for awhile that I would love to do a bunch of Steampunk features one month. Spotlight Steampunk books, give some Steampunk books away, maybe have some guest posts... and maybe 
someone would even sponsor a Steampunk jewelery giveaway. I can't do it on my own though. So I'm hoping some authors and some Steampunk fans would be willing to pitch in for Giveaways, Reviews, Guest Posts, etc.
If I get enough interest I'll have a button made and make it a big event!
UPDATE: It's on! I've got some guests posts, some giveaways, and some reviews already lined up. But I need MORE!
Also, I know of many Steampunk Novels, but I'm sure I'm missing a few as well. So if you could list some of your favorite Steampunk novels in my comments section, that would be awesome!
If you want to participate or have questions please email me at candace_redinger(at)yahoo(dot)com
sounds fun!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read it yet, but I know that LEVIATHAN is steampunk. This is actually brilliant, because I haven't read any steampunk yet but really really want to! Awesome idea :P
Oh yeah, Leviathan has been on my WL forever!
ReplyDeleteI've read some Steampunk but not even close to everything I want to! A month of Steampunk would really push me to get some of them read!
Sounds like a fun feature. I haven't read any Steampunk but I want to. I have Leviathan at home.

Have you asked any of the authors if they are willing to be interviewed and do a giveaway? Or the publishers, sometimes they willing to give books or swag.
ReplyDeleteI don't know a lot of steampunk, the ones you have listed are the only ones I am aware of since I just learned this is a genre..lol
I haven't read much Steampuck, though I've been meaning to. I can think of one though, Incarceron and the sequel Sapphique by Catherine Fisher. If I read a steampunk, I'd love to do a guest post!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. I haven't read any steampunk books yet so if you do feature them for a month, I'll at least get introduced to some.
ReplyDeleteIt'd be great, I love steampunk!!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know Steampunk was a genre, and I thought I hadn't read any, but it tears out I have (His Dark Materials, and Incarceron).
ReplyDeleteI think it's a great idea!
I'll help out! I'll make you a button! ;) lol This is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. Gail is amazing!
ReplyDeletePhilip Reeve's Hungry City Chronicles!!!! I love his work... even more than Leviathan.
ReplyDeleteWell, I declare. What a brilliant idea! Perhaps, I will have to make some tea and debate over the possibility over other steampunkery books.
