The 2017 Steampunk Readathon Info and Sign Up Post


**THE STEAMPUNK READATHON IS BEING POSTPONED DUE TO MY SON AND HIS GIRLFRIEND NEEDED TO COME HERE TO SEEK SHELTER FROM HURRICANE IRMA. NEW DATES ARE TO BE DETERMINED**

Last year I hosted my first Steampunk Readathon and because it was so much fun I've decided to bring it back again this year!  The readathon will run Sept 9 through Sept 15. I have created a Twitter specifically for the readathon @Steampunkathon.

This will be a low pressure challenge. Maybe you are new to the genre of steampunk so only want to read one book. That's okay! I still want you to participate. You may even already be reading steampunk books and not know it. 

Here are some suggested steampunk books:
