Book help!

I need recs! I'm going to Florida for a week, in two weeks, and I need books. A few things:

(1) It needs to be in paperback (I get hardcovers from the library and that usually takes a while)
(2) I like historical romance fluff
(3) Thinky things make my brain hurt
(4) Well done contemporary romance is good too

I have read everything by:
Eloisa James
Julia Quinn
Stephanie Laurens
Mary Balogh
Julie Garwood
Judith McNaught
Amanda Quick/Jayne Ann Krentz/Jayne Castle
Linda Howard
Elizabeth Lowell
Susan Elizabeth Phillips
Liz Caryle
Debbie Maccomber
Diana Palmer
Donna Andrews
Julia London
ETA: Georgette Heyer - I've read almost all of them!

I no longer care for:
Nora Roberts
Catherine Coulter
Jude Deveraux
Iris Johansen
Lisa Kleypas

I have tried and didn't really care for:
Sabrina Jeffries
Celeste somebody

Help!

They're the books that True Blood is based on--the author is Charlaine Harris. One big benefit is that the paperbacks tend to be sold in mass market for super cheap (mine were $4.99 each), so you can stock up and plow through a bunch of them. They're quite funny, and very true about the South (despite being about vampires and such), I think.
