A few suggestions
I came across some notes I made 15-20 years ago, and was reminded of some very good and creative books I'd read. Would love to have them in Logos.
1) Jon D. Levenson, Sinai and Zion: An Entry into the Jewish Bible
2) Levenson, Creation and the Persistence of Evil: The Jewish Drama of Divine Omnipotence
3) Pamela Tamarkin Reis, Reading the Lines: A Fresh Look at the Hebrew Bible
4) Frank Moore Cross, Canaanite Myth and Hebrew Epic: Essays in the HIStory of the Religion of Israel
5) Cross, From Epic to Cannon: History and Literature in Ancient Israel

These all look like excellent suggestions. I've added them to Feedbear for people to vote on (except for one that already existed). That's more likely to get them paid attention to.
Sinai and Zion: An Entry into the Jewish Bible
Creation and the Persistence of Evil (this suggestion existed already)
Reading the Lines: A Fresh Look at the Hebrew Bible
From Epic to Canon: History and Literature in Ancient Israel
Canaanite Myth and Hebrew Epic: Essays in the History of the Religion of Israel
More by Jon Levenson that I added for good measure (all with good ratings on Amazon):
The Hebrew Bible, the Old Testament, and Historical Criticism: Jews and Christians in Biblical Studies
Resurrection and the Restoration of Israel: The Ultimate Victory of the God of Life
Resurrection: The Power of God for Christians and Jews
Inheriting Abraham: The Legacy of the Patriarch in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam (Library of Jewish Ideas Book 3)
The Love of God: Divine Gift, Human Gratitude, and Mutual Faithfulness in Judaism (Library of Jewish Ideas, 8)
And another one by Levenson that existed already:
The Death and Resurrection of the Beloved Son: The Transformation of Child Sacrifice in Judaism and Christianity
Another couple by Frank Moore Cross that I added for good measure:
The Ancient Library of Qumran
Frank Moore Cross: Conversations With a Bible Scholar

Oh, thanks so much for doing all that! I've never added something to Feedbear, and currently too anxious about finishing some pressing work to learn. But really glad they're there. I went and voted.

Morning everyone..... I've looked and can't find a spot for new suggestions.
So here goes... The 3 tap to any verse in the Bible would greatly simplify the Logos software.
Every other Bible software, plus even most Bible apps have already incorporated very simple approach
to Bible study into their programs. I'm sure I'm not the only person suggesting and requesting this be added
to the program.
I cannot think of any other single thing that would enhance the overall ease of use and performance more.
I hope we can look forward to seeing this simple improvement soon

I recommend starting a new thread in this suggestions forum

And, if you do so, please expand on what you mean by this. I don't know what this relates to.

From the home page of the Logos Forums, click Suggestions, then click "Write a New Post".

Like Graham, I'm not sure what you're referring to by the "3 tap to any verse". Do you mean the verse selection feature in the mobile app, where you can tap the book name, then the chapter number, and then the verse number to navigate to any verse? Are you requesting that this feature be added to the desktop version of Logos?
