2016 Steampunk Reading Challenge

Hosted by In Wonderland

This year I am participating in the Steampunk Reading Challenge hosted by In Wonderland. I have chosen to do the Navigator level where you read 6-10 books, so I don't overwhelm myself with too many challenges this year.

Here is where you can find out more: http://www.inwonderlandbookblog.com/2015/12/2016-steampunk-reading-challenge-sign.html


Here is what I am planning on reading: 

If I read more than 10 Steampunk books this year I will definitely move up a level, but for now this is what I am going to reach for. Feel free to join me in this challenge!
