Thank you everyone for your fantastic and thoughtful suggestions! As I said below, I don't know how I'm going to read all these, but I'll do my best! Hooray for books!

My first contest, hopefully I can do everything correctly!

I have been in a book slump the past few months. I love re-reading my oldies, but I’m ready to fall in love with a new world.

I’m mostly reading paranormal/sci-fi/fantasy, but some thriller/romance too (not the syrupy Harlequin type).

Top authors I currently read:

Ilona Andrews
Nalini Singh
Linda Howard
Sarah J Maas
KF Breene

Other favorites include:

Laurel K Hamilton (up until she was straight erotica, I don’t think I’ve read the last 5-6 books)
Patricia Briggs
Nora Roberts (new stuff has been too repetitive)
Catherine Coulter
Jayne Ann Krentz
Julie Garwood

I like a little humor, and LOVE a badass female protagonist.

If you can think of anything I might like, please suggest it with the phrase “I love books!” In your comment. I’ll randomly select a winner from these, and choose something in the $15 range from your wishlist. If someone picks a book or series I end up absolutely loving, there may be bonus gifts in the weeks/months ahead for those fantastic people.

Contest will close at on Wednesday 1/31 8pm PST and US only.

Thank you, and happy reading!

(And thank you u/neongreenpurple for walking me through it!)
