Books Recommended On Story Gush

I've categorized them by all the genres I feel they fit into. So a book that fits solidly in one place, like The Black Prism, will appear under Fantasy, while The Demon's Lexicon, which is urban fantasy (a distinct subset of fantasy) as well as YA will appear in all three categories.
