Awesome list. I haven't read most of these and it make me wish I had more room in my head.
But of the 75 books here, I've read about half, and only one (the Mary Robinette Kowal) is one I wouldn't consider worthwhile.
I never learned to love alt-history. Maybe I haven't found the right story. Or I just find reversing facts unsettling.
I'm not a huge alt-history fan myself. It's too easy to find holes in the present day setting when they've made a major change. I've enjoyed a handful, though -- Jo Walton's Small Change trilogy worked for me partially because it wasn't set today. In Kowal's case, I just find her writing flat and can't engage with it.
