Woops. So I may have forgotten to update my book list for the last three months.

3. Dragonquest - Anne McCaffery - 4*
4. White Dragon - Anne McCaffery - 4.5*
5. Freedom's Landing - Anne McCaffery - 3.8*
6. Freedom's Choice - Anne McCaffery - 4.25*
7. 3 in 1 - Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy; Restaurant at the End of the Universe; Life, the Universe and Everything - Douglas Adams - 3.5*
8. The Grand Tour (or the Purloined Coronation Regalia) by Patricia C. Wrede and Caroline Stevermer - 3.75*
9. Edgewood by Karen McQuestion - 2* (link to my review on Goodreads, for I am lazy)
10. Discount Armageddon (InCryptid, #1) by Seanan McGuire - 5*
11. Midnight Blue-Light Special (InCryptid #2) by Seanan McGuire - 4.75*
12. Magic Lost, Trouble Found (book one of the Raine Banares novels) by Lisa Shearin - 4.25 *
13. Armed and Magical (book two of the Raine Banares novels) by Lisa Shearin - 4.25*
14. Trouble with Demons (book three of the Raine Banares novels) by Lisa Shearin - 4.25*
15. Bewitched and Betrayed (book four of the Raine Banares novels) by Lisa Shearin - 4.25*
16. Con and Conjure (book five of the Raine Banares novels) by Lisa Shearing - 4.5*
17. All Spell Breaks Loose (book six of the Raine Banares novels) - 4.5*
18. East by Edith Pattou - 4.75
---- A novel based on the Norse fairy tale, East of the Sun and West of the Moon
19. Cassie Fogg and the Unwound Knight, a short story by David S. Goodwin - 3.75*
---- Lady Engineer and pilot in a Giant Steampunk Robot Battle, round 1. Like the idea, the execution was kind of meh.
20. Cassie Fogg and the Reluctant Ronan, a short story by David S. Goodwin - 4.00*
---- Lady Engineer and pilot in a Giant Steampunk Robot Battle, round 2. Actually get a little bit more of a feel for the main character, Cassie, and I liked how she interacted with her "opponent", on and off the battlefield. Two super smart ladies kicking butt and taking names and kind of flipping it to their employers who hire giant machines to fight their battles instead of work it out themselves.
21. Flash Gold (The Flash Gold Chronicles, Book 1), a novella by Lindsay Buroker - 5.0*
---- Another super smart Lady Steampunk Engineer series, one that takes place during Klondike Gold Rush of the late 1800s. These short stories are a little longer than the Cassie Fogg ones, which gives much more opportunity to develop the characters, and man does it show.
22. Hunted (The Flash Gold Chronicles, Book 2), a novella by Lindsay Buroker - 5.0*
23. Soulless by Gail Carriger - 5.0*
---- Third re-read of one of my favorite series. Since I've obviously been in a Steampunk sort of mood, I figured what better way to kill a few hours at home and read during lunch at work than a Steampunk Urban Fantasy series with a smart-mouth spinster who routinely clobbers werewolves and vampires upside the head (and between the legs) with her parasol.
