LOVE The Native Star. Not easily obtained in the UK but such an enjoyable book! *NM* Kallichore Send a noteboard - 06/10/2011 10:54:02 AM
Hm... Light and happy and charming.

Have you read Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones?

I'm reading a book now called All Men of Genius by Lev AC Rosen that fits that description. It's steampunk influenced by Twelfth Night and The Importance of Being Earnest. I haven't finished it yet, but I'm most of the way done and I very much doubt it will end badly.

I was completely charmed by The Native Star by M. K. Hobson. It came as a surprise to me since I never would have picked it up based on the description. I'm glad I kept hearing it was good so I ended up trying it since I loved it!

The Cloud Roads by Martha Wells was a light book that I enjoyed reading. It's somewhat black and white but a good story.

For short and fun books, I liked the first two books in the Heroes series by Moira J. Moore. The first book is Resenting the Hero (ignore the horrible cover). I still need to read book 3; it's on the TBR.
