The Genesis of Shannara trilogy by Terry Brooks is my go to reread. It's a journey from post apocalyptic America into a realm of pure magic that is my gold standard for fantasy writing. Terry's an icon for a reason and he makes me want to be a better story teller.

I've just started "The Demon Accords" and really am enjoying it.
Dash & Liliy Book of Dares, Ready Player One, Another Fine Myth, Lord of the Rings, Outlander, Succubus on Top, Nick & Norahs’ Infinite Play List. Wow I have some strange tastes.
For me it is Frank Herbert Dune
and I have been thinking lately to reread the Pandora series:The Jesus Incident
, The Lazarus Effect
, The Ascension FactorThe Ascension Factor. And from the paranormal romance series that I have read thus far I am am tempted to reread but haven't, are: Laurann Dohner VLG series Drantos
and Zorn Warriors Series Ral's Woman
, and Willow Danes Worriors of Hir series Captured
, this author kept it interesting from one book to the next, the characters were also well developed and more real and believable in their actions and reactions to their circumstances.
It would have to be the Fae Chronicles every book in that series and all of the spin offs. They are that good
SMH guys! I’ll never whittle down my tbr pile! I’ve never heard of some of these books and authors, so am going to go hunt them down
The Shakespeare and Aurora Teagarden by Charmaine Harris are constant re-reads for me. I also just re-read the slave breakers series by Sabrina Deane starting with

To feel comforted (some old romances are like my blankie), I reread Kristen Ashley or historical romances by Johanna Lindsey or Lisa Klepas (The Wallflower Series!). For 'oh my god I love this writing' rereads - or before I send my own work off to the editor - I reread "Sweet Tooth" by Ian McEwan or "The Last Werewolf" by Glen Duncan.
I think Angela Knight, Morgan Hawke, Emma Holly and Christine Warren were some of the first UF/PNR authors I read. Definitely the first smut! The Victorious Star interstellar discipline series, the Fur For All shifter series are constant rereads, as are the Upyr books Courting Midnight and mageverse Master of the Night series.
I know this isn't a paranormal romance but my go to book has always been Aimee by Mary Beth Miller. If I get in a mentally down state for too long or I just need a mental pick me up I read that. It was the book that sparked my love of reading.
I don't completely reread books. I do like going back and reading my favorite scenes though. Some of the ones I would gladly go back to are: Cranage Island (Lexi C. Foss). The next one isn't paranormal (it is a dark romance though) the series is called Ruthless Desires (Elira Firethorn). I adore all of the books in that series, but I'm waiting impatiently for the next one to come out.
signs of cupidity raven kennedy. I love to laugh with this one. and then darker Queen takes knight series Joely sue Burkhart

I have read that one over and over again. What a great series!

The Rivers of London Series. I am half way through reading it all again. I almost never reread a book but my wife and I both find it easy to reread this series.
Anything by Amelia Hutchins. Not your YA, bubblegum romance. All her books have a Trigger Warning/Disclaimer at the beginning. All SPICY hot! Also anything by Jeaniene Frost.
My audiobook on my YouTube channel part 2 of my Trilogy series "The Book of Life Return to Earth". This is my life work, my religion and I'm so glad I was able to create 3 incredible teen girls who are Wicca Witches that will love you with all their heart as they show you your sacred self!https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2...
“Oh my goth” by gena showalter was fun, holly blacks Valiant, Tithe,and my first love War for the Oaks by Emma Bull is so good!
I can't say I have a "go to book" but I do have a hand full of series that I have and will continue to read over and over. "Guild Hunter and Psy/Changling Series" Both"by Nalini Singh "The Breed Series" By Lora Leigh "Shifters Unbound" by Jennifer Ashley" "Dark Hunter Series" by Sherrilyn Kenyon and "Black Dagger Brotherhood" by J.R. Ward. I've read each of these series multiple times, and I know I will return to those worlds many more times. ^.^ As a matter of fact, I am re-reading the Psy/Changling series right now. I read the series back in Febuary, and I think this is my 5th time reading it. lol
My book, that I can read over and over is "Halfway to the Grave" by Jeaniene Frost. I love this version and the male POV version "The Other Half of the Grave". The audio version of "The Other Half of the Grave" has Bones speaking with his British accent, sooo Good.

I've been in a rereading mood this year and my rereads are up to almost the same as all of last year. I had 48 last year and 42 so far this year. I read around 300 books per year.I've been reread Dianne Duvall's Immortal Guardians world most recently
Also on a reread of Mercy and Alpha and Omega... again
I'm up to smoke bitten
I don't know why my mood went from the normal 12-15% to a almost 1/2, 40% but I'm enjoying as I love the comfort reads.
Also rereading In Death of J.D. Robb at #18
Anne Bishop others always gets me, practically read it every year or 2. And of course nalini singh (any and all of her books)

Check out Suzanne Wright 1st. The Dark in You serie, and the Phoenix Pack serie are my fav of her work
Mercy Thompson but specifically River Marked !!!! it's my favourite book in the novel.A series that's severely underrated (and relatively newer) is the Jacky Leon series by K. N. Banet. The main character is a werecat bartender and book 1 is about how she is sworn to protect the human daughter of a werewolf Alpha from a werewolf coup. The romance is great, but the family dynamics between Jacky and her new werecat family (she was turned into a werecat) that's explored through each book is what makes the series imo.
