Clocks, Cogs and Mechanisms Reading Challenge 2012

Steampunks - models Liza James and Jared Axelr...Image via Wikipedia

The title of this challenge is pretty self-explanatory unless you don't know what steampunk is. Steampunk in case you did not know is an up and coming genre of fiction that takes place in older time periods, typically Victorian and involves lots of steam-powered technology. If you want some more information about steampunk follow the link for more information: Steampunk

This challenge runs from January 1st-December 31st.

What do I let count as steampunk?
You can count books like "The Time Machine" by H.G. Wells and other books that are considered precursors to steampunk, I have no problem with you counting graphic novels like Full Metal Alchemist.

They do not have to be on a paper to count, your ebooks count as well.
You can also count these books towards other challenges.

Brass Gears: Read 1-3 steampunk books
Flight goggles: 4-6 books
Button-up boots: 7-12 books
Clockwork Corset: 13+ books

Sign up below by posting and leaving a link back to your blog. I hope you have a wonderful time with this challenge!
Happy Reading!!!

  7. Hi, I just saw the link for this on Cineastesbookshelf and since I am doing another steampunk challenge thought I would sign up for yours to, as long as doubling up on titles is okay?. I will read at least five titles. Is there a badge I can use for my post? Post not up yet: http://genteelarsenal.blogspot.com/ but will be.
