Don't beat yourself up. Everybody does it -- that was the point of Juliet's article. 30% is (unfortunately) pretty good.
There are lots of good books by women in all genres, but they're not always prominent.
Here are some obvious SF suggestions for future months. I can find Kindle versions of all of them and am hoping that means they're on ePub also: Grass by Sherri S. Tepper (SF Masterworks) The Birthday of the World and Other Stories by Ursula le Guin Xenogenesis by Octavia Butler
Fantasy: Is KJ Parker a man or a woman? Nobody knows for sure... So, leaving her/him aside, avoiding a repeat of Ursula and only picking mindblowing stuff available on ebooks that's not written by anybody I know personally... Tender Morsels by Margo Lanagan Cities of Coin and Spice by Catherine M. Valente I'd love to say something by Tanith Lee, but ebooks don't seem to love her :(
