I’ve managed to get my hands on a copy of Queen Victoria’s Book of Spells. It’s another collection (this time of gaslamp fantasy), but I’m curious to see if it’s any good.

Hotter Than Steam: Steampunk media that are PoC written or centered
Not all of this is diesel, but if you’re looking to be less of an imperialistic jackass, then broadening your worldview is necessary.
Reading List: Primary Works
If anyone was interested. And, since I had a mini-rant about how not to Japanese steampunk, I felt compelled to share.
And, hey, reading material.

Best Steampunk Books (456 books)
460 books based on 2398 votes: Soulless by Gail Carriger, Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld, Boneshaker by Cherie Priest, Perdido Street Station by China Mié…
I find the title somewhat misleading.
From my experience with some of these, they aren’t really all that ‘good’—they’re just read often. So, if you want to sample this list, be a little aware that a startling number of these books are of exceedingly poor quality.

Barbecue WIN!
Ryazan Deulino’s amazing 4-ton locomotive barbecue pit has three bays and a brick-lined furnace. Some of the controls in the cab are functional, too! The wheel turns the rotating spit. All aboard!

I’ve always looked up to Annie Oakley as a bit of a childhood hero. But I never really thought I would look up to her as a style icon.
Yet here I am, re-examining her clothing as a costumer and thinking ’that’s actually pretty snazzy, and practical’.
Yes, I’ve decided to adopt her style of dress for more casual Steampunk. It’s much later than I would have liked (I have a fondness for 1870’s and all it’s floofy frilly wonders). Yes, her clothing is a bit ‘young’ for me. The shortness of the shirt indicates a girl in her pre-teens and early teens. But thinking of the steampunk ‘universe’, and how you would be exposed to all sorts of moving parts and mechanisms, the long, and sometimes wide skirts I often seen (and don’t get me started on hoopskirts!) don’t make that much sense to me.
Ballgowns are nice. For balls.
