Awesome Steam Punk Read!

Recently started reading “Soulless” by Gail Carriger and it is the best $8 I’ve ever spent. It so happened that I was hanging out in Borders with my friend Mark when we wandered into the Science Fiction section, our fave section in the store besides arts, crafts and graphic novels. I stumbled upon this author by chance b/c the cover work was right up my alley of strange and unusual. In an age of technology, I still prefer a good hard copy to sit in the shade on a lovely day and feel the breeze on my skin as I read a good book. And this is a book I tell you you should read. Carriger doesn’t disappoint.
