About this author

Soulless by Gail Carriger
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
There's a reason that this book (and series) is so popular: Soulless is a delightful Steampunk confection that manages to pull together disparate genre elements into a satisfying whole, and does it with style.

How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe by Charles Yu
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
