Rothenburg, Germany & the Leviathan trilogy by Scott Westerfeld Ornament The fragile hand-painted glass sphere came from an idyllic town in Rothenburg, Germany. The Christmas store I got it from was like its own holiday village. I wrote a blog about this town that is found on the Romantic Road. It still is one of my favorites from my trips to Europe. Books Leviathan, Behemoth, and Goliath I listened to on Audible in December. The narrator is awesome with accents, which helps me get lost in the story. It takes place in Germany and other countries around the time of World War I. Although parts of the books are historical, my imagination had to kick into high gear to picture the machines that were created from other species and metal. Whenever I imagine the metal machinery I automatically go to the walkers in Star Wars. This is my first real exposure to the steam punk genre and I really like it. I recommend these books to people who like history mixed with their fantasy, but be prepared to use your imagination. Blog about Rothenburg: carlasbooks.weebly.com/carlas-candor/december-20th-2015
