[Book Review] The Girl WIth The Windup Heart By Kady Cross & Philz Coffee Ether
Spoiler alert: there is no girl with a windup heart in The Girl With The Windup Heart - in fact, the word windup doesn't appear anywhere in the entire book. Still loved the book though, it's very much like The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen, characters with extraordinary abilities in a steampunk Victorian setting, but with more couples and romantic couple-ly plotlines.

[Book Review] Circus Games By Lilliana Rose & JumpinGoat Coffee Roasters Wine Infused Chocolate Coffee
Circus Games is the second book in the wild-west-meets-space-age Steampunk Mecha Mania series and takes place a week after the end of the first book, Circus Escape, with Nessie now running the mechanical machine fighting circus she was so obsessed with in the precious story. This also puts her in close quarters with Joy, the mecha operator she had become so smitten with. The problem is Nessie has no experience and no idea how to handle the Mecha Mania business – she has no idea how to handle a potential relationship with Joy right now either.

The Circus Of The Damned is set in a shadowy Victorian-esque world sprinkled with a few steampunk elements (I pictured it with kind of a Tim Burton goes to the circus kind of vibe) and populated with a cast of unique circus performers with unusual abilities, highly organized street thugs, and one frustratingly debonair devil.

[Short Story Review] Circus Escape By Lilliana Rose & Jelks Coffee Roasters Its A Joy Flavored Coffee
If you’re a fan of the much loved, but under-appreciated, TV show Firefly (and its companion movie Serenity), you’ll probably enjoy this short story. It’s got the same kind of wild-west-meets-space-age Steampunk vibe going on with a whole lot of robot-vs-robot thrown in.
