Going with the same one as last quarter and really hoping for NOT FANTASY this quarter🤞

I would like to nominate the Sawyer Brook Series



Plagued by traumatic childhood memories, crime reporter Sawyer Brooks still struggles to gain control of her rage, her paranoia, and her life. Now, after finally getting promoted at work, she is forced to return home and face her past.

The first book has been on my TBR for a while, and they are available from KU.

My kinda books. I'll second this nomination. Just because I don't want to nominate something but I want to support this one, lol.

Ok, I see your non-fantasy request and raise you and small-town romance / WESTERN (evil laugh):

I'm nominating:

Rebel Blue Ranch Series

Saddle up for angsty cowboys, messy family drama, and the kind of slow-burn romance that’ll make you want to trade city lights for starry nights.

Dungeon Crawler Carl:

Nomination for Quarter 4 - https://www.goodreads.com/series/7107...

Fall down the zombie hole with Alice Bell as she loses everything she’s ever loved…and discovers a destiny alongside Cole Holland’s crew of zombie slayers. Cole is the baddest of the bad, the one boys want to be and girls want to tame—but he only has eyes for Ali. They share a connection no one can explain, seeing glimpses into a future of doom and gloom…or love everlasting. Either way, they’ll have to navigate a zombie Wonderland of unstoppable action and dangerous secrets, where only one thing is certain: a war is brewing, and it’s time to fight—and if necessary, time to die. Filled with hot action, true romance, real friendship and a unique twist on zombies, The White Rabbit Chronicles is not to be missed. Off with their heads!
