Location: Alief, TX		Looks like you're on the right path. I've read six of your chosen ten books, and will get another this year. The Scott Westerfeld and Cherie Priest series are more sciency steampunk, and there's lots of airship in them, but they're very strong series. The Mark Hodder is completely outlandish and wonderful. The Gail Carriger series is fun and fluffy, airships present but only as background in a much more gaslamp fantasy world. Difference Engine is foundational, as important as Anubis Gates or any of the Blaylock. And the Ekaterina Sedia is just beautiful. Here's hoping that you finish this a convert.

And btw, if you really like what you read, there is a Gaslamp Fantasy challenge going on. You'll have quite the head start.
