Steampunk - any recommendations for this genre?

I finished the Parasol Protectorate series by Gail Carriger a couple of months ago. They were fun and lighthearted reads. Anyone have a recommendation that falls under the "steampunk" category?

It is YA, but I enjoyed book #1 of Cassandra Clare's Infernal Device series. Book #2 came out in December but I haven't read it yet.

This has nothing to do with books, but my coworker literally JUST emailed this to me and I'm drooling:

It's not really my style, but their attention to detail is really amazing!

Have you read The Diamond Age by Neil Stephenson? I didn't love it when it was first published but I had just read Dnow Crash and was kind of expecting more cyberpunk. I feel like I should reread it and give it another chance.

I read The Vesuvius Club more recently. It wasn't mind-blowing, but I thought it was fun.

I've been meaning to read more of the genre, so I'd love to hear your top recs!

The Strange Affair of Spring Heeled Jack by Mark Hodder is nice and steampunky.

The Boneshaker series by Cherie Priest is pretty good, as is the Parasol Protectorate series by Gail Carriger.
