Ok dont make fun of me but I picked these up at Goodwill and thought they wpuld be a fun read. 
They really shelved the Parosol Protectorate series as YA? LOVE that series but I never really thought of it as YA. Suppose it works though, definitely worth reading!
Well... If you total up all the aggregate users that shelved it YA, it makes it appear that way. That is why I called it a sales pitch.Steampunk is a pretty narrow genre, and clowns like Cassandra Clare that water it down, in the hopes of mass market swallowing. aren't enough, to make it popular enough, to get it voted here. So I just settle for the branding. :-)
I agree! The Parasol Protectorate series is an amazing read no matter what they call it. ;-)
Would actually be a much better choice to try and get Steampunk introduced to the group.
We will take nominations until the 15th.
We have 8 days left for nominations.

"I second the series. :)
Today is the last day to get your nomination in for the vote.
I wasn't going to vote since I am new to the group. The books nominated have some bad reviews. Especially the Graceling series. Since the books nominated by Guy have much better reviews and I am curious about steampunk I am voting for the Leviathan series.
I will put the vote up in a little bit.
Oh ya... And never put too much stock in reviews... People tout Cassandra Clare like she is God's right hand, and the best thing since sliced bread, but there is a large faction of mouth foaming haters that would see her nailed to cross for the garbage she puts her name on. (Well, the stuff that she hasn't stolen and put her name on is garbage, the plagiarized stuff is good.)Oh god don't get me started on James Frey...
Personally, I have found many books I liked that many thought were tripe. :-)

This is a YA group, so your series choice needs to have at least 25 users that have shelved it as YA. You can see that by looking at the right hand side, near the middle of the first book in the series information page.
Post all of the books in the series here, so the members can read all of the books if they need to in making a choice.
***It needs to be a series that is complete, or will be complete by the time it comes to an end for the group, because we do not want to be left hanging, waiting for a book "someday".
