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

pickThis 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

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
pickSoulless is the first volume in the Parasol Protectorate, a steampunk series with vampires, werewolves and a protagonist who is neither, but is extremely capable to defend herself with a parasol.

Written in the type of over the top English that US authors tend to use when writing about English high society especially when writing about the Regency/ Victorian periods but still amusing on it‘s own merits. Still on Ch 1
(ETA: Ch 3. I‘m starting to feel it may be intentional)
Not sure when Canterbury became a port city but, hey, if HM QV can have a shadow parliament filled with vampires, werewolves and ghosts instead of Opposition, why not?
pick#NSR221 Steampunk Science Fiction @Nessavamusic This was such a cute book. If you like steamy Victorian romance with some vampires, werewolves and mad scientists and voila you have yourself a steam punk novel that you will really enjoy.

The Parasol Protectorate series is #SetInAnotherCentury - a steampunk alternative history version of Victorian Britain. They are also fun & funny books. ☂️ 💜
