I haven't read any steampunk books. Are they really good compared to cozy mysteries?

I read a wide variety of genres and sub-genres so I am probably not the best person to answer this question. To me, it was a historical romantic suspense novel with a few interesting modes of transportation, and various paranormal aspects to it. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I am not sure what steampunk books by other authors are like since this is my first one. I would say that cozy mysteries do not generally have as much action as this one. It is also not set in a small, quaint town or village but in London and Edinburgh. I highly recommend this book and can't wait to go back and read the first 3 books in the series.

Finished two non-cozies this week: To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf, and The Twenty-One Balloons by William Pène du Bois.

The first was a reread for me. Took a little less time to read than the first time, but was still a bit of a chore slogging through her extremely long “stream of consciousness” paragraphs. Beautiful writing, but you really have to work for it. This was a classic group read.

The latter is a middle-grade Newbery Medal-winning book that I thought was okay. There are parts that are rather technical for this age group, but I can see the adventure appealing to most fourth or fifth graders. I read this one for the Popsugar Ultimate Challenge (read a book with “20” or “twenty” in the title”).

In addition to three cozies so far this month, I’ve also read eight short stories. Three were from the monster anthology previously mentioned—I’m about halfway through that one now. The two I enjoyed the most were “The Watcher” by Sheridan le Fanu and “The Were-wolf” by Clemence Housman (sister of A.E. Housman).

Three were read online, two of which were by Ray Bradbury: “There Will Come Soft Rains” and “The Pedestrian.” Also read two by William Faulkner.

Next up: Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh.
