Me personally, when going through a reading drought, I tend to start a survival / societal collapse type of series (a.k.a. training as we may call it these days - he he he). These books are rarely re-reads for me, a bit like thrillers/mysteries (once you know, well you know. It's more of a one-time type of thrill for me).
Here are a couple of authors as far as my [post] apocalyptic, survival/plague era goes:
- T.L. Payne
- Kyla Stone
- Harley Tate
- Barbara J. Walker
- Lindsey Fairleigh
- Lindsey Pogue
- Jacqueline Druga
- Grace Hamilton
- ********* Mylchreest
- Stacey Upton
- Lena Gibson
- Gwendolyn Harper
- Elle Richards
Hopefully some of the above hits your reading genresTake care !
