Welcome to Litsy!

Though I‘m just a touch disappointed that the book cover designers did not put an 8-pointed star on the cover, it is the only quibble I have about the whole genre-bending Victoria Trilogia! The final book wraps everything up with a bit of extra melodrama, fun, action and thrills! Lewis Carroll & Sir Arthur Conan Doyle show up with all the usual suspects😉

I read "The map of time" a long time ago and I loved it: victorian England, time travel, intricate stories. Then I found out it was part of a trilogy, but the last one was never translated in Italian, so I forgot about it. Now that I can read in English I'm very excited to start this one (and I hope there will not be a lot of references to the other books).

I'm not sure what qualifies as steampunk. My interpretation (sans Google) is Victorian dystopian/science fiction with cool gadgets and outfits, along the lines of H.G. Wells. I love that premise and don't know why I haven't read more of it. I've read the first two books in this series by Felix J Palma, which features a fictional H.G. Wells. This is the third in the series (and the only one I could grab). #steampunk #seasonsreadings2016

Me and my bright ideas 💡😞The photo on the left isn't the half of it. Photo on the right shows some progress on the top two shelves. Good news is that I've pulled the AtoZ challenge books and they are on a shelf behind me, and the poetry shelf in another room is done.
