Statuesque steampunk
I love to read. I read everything, from teen and adult romance, autobiographies, fantasy fiction and the recent naughty mummy books; and there are some books that just really touch your imagination! When I read I am transported to that time and place of the novel – it’s really a form of escapism. I’m not saying that I need to escape my life, but sometimes it’s just nice to be free of the worries and pressures of reality and pretend you are somewhere else for a little while.
A couple of years ago I started reading by Cassandra Clare. I was transported back through time to Victorian London where 16-year-old Tessa Gray had travelled to find her lost brother. It is in London that she is confronted with the terrifying Downworld, where vampires, warlocks and other supernatural beings stalk the streets. Tessa carries with her a clockwork angel necklace that ticks away day and night and throughout the series we come to learn that this angel necklace is so much more than just an ornament.
