The Combined Ranking of the CWA and MWA lists: the rest of the selections.

In deference to those books and authors who did not make the top 100 combined list cut, here is the remainder of the list in order. All of these appeared on just one list. Ranking was straightforward. If you were 65th on only one list you were tied with 65th book on the other list (if it also placed on one list) and you were one place ahead of a similar situation for the 66th selections.
