Spectacular steampunk
Steampunk is a genre typically set in the Victorian era, sometimes Edwardian area with elements of science fiction or fantasy. The key aspect of steampunk is the use of steam for innovations.
Sometimes the steampunk setting plays major roles in the story and plot, sometimes it is just the background setting.
(This list is a work in progress of collecting steampunk novels, I have more to add when I go through my shelves and finish reading the book steam punk FAQ, and suggestions are welcomed)

Books mentioned in the book “steampunk FAQ” by Mike Perschon have been added to this list and it was a fantastic resource, especially for a steampunk fan

A side note I will be going through the books cited in “steampunk FAQ” at a future time and deciding if they fit with what I want to present as steampunk, especially as Perschon has noted some of the books that started the genre no longer live up to genre standards
