As always for these kinds of lists, the more helpers the better. The easiest way to help maintain this and related lists is to vote for books already on the list but with only 1 vote. This will mean a maintainer can remove their vote for that book and vote for another book.

A librarian can assist by noting when books have met the criteria for another list. And can add that book to that list and REMOVE it from this list.

A non-librarian can always add the book to the next list an note that it needs removing.

And anyone can find books that meet the criteria for the list that are missing and add them.

Anyone can also note where there are books on the list that don't meet the criteria and note that fact for a librarian or perhaps the voter to fix.

Gondell's Quest

This is an amazing work of fantasy literature. I don't know why the main voting system won't allow me to add, maybe because the book isn't mainstream.... YET! But read this masterpiece, and I defy you not to compare with works by Tolkien!

There are a number of book ready to be graduated to 100 to 999 list - but I'm out of votes on that list - so someone else will need to do that. In other words if you voted for a book on this list which now has 100 or more ratings, please add your votes to the next list and remote them from this one.|

Or vote for books on the next list in general, thus freeing up my votes.

Graduated: Dangerous To Know, Frostbite, The Council, Path of a Novice, The Master of Heathcrest Hall, The Fantastic Fable of Peter Able, City of Wonders, Ragamuffin, Blood's Pride, Blood and Iron, The Ragged Man, Unwrapped Sky

Also removed Shadow Star, which was already on the next list.

Graduated two steps: The Magicians and Mrs. Quent, The Grey Bastards, The House on Durrow Street, Fall of Thanes

Mitchell, I'm still trying to figure out what I'm willing and not willing to do in more long-term maintenance work so I haven't taken care of everything that needs graduating, and I can't promise to come back and do this regularly. Also, not sure how you feel about all those Karl Schroeder books? They seem shelved mostly as sci-fi/space opera so might not belong on this list?

I'm thinking the Karl Schroeder Virga series is sf and steampunk and not fantasy. I've read those and I think you are right, they shouldn't be on this list.

And I removed the ones on page 4 after verifying each one.
