J.D. Robb discussion

I LOVED "Clan of the Cave Bear", not digging "Valley of the Horses" so much though....

Hang in there, Julia!

I'm reading Making the First Move by Reese Ryan.

JUst finished Dark Lycan by Christine Feehan

Among some rereads and several other books, I'm also reading ...very strange, different book. I wasn't sure at first but the more I read, the more enthralled I am with it...can't stop reading it.

I'm reading . Very, very good and very HOT series. Recommend it!

I just read the synopsis and it actually looks really good! Unfortunately, I can't buy it on Amazon here in the UK for some reasons....!

I'm reading "Kill You Twice" By Chelsea Cain.

Reading by NR for the Nora Roberts Groupies group.

Nightfall ended up being one of those couldn't put it down books. Very different but I just had to keep reading to see what happened. PNR with a UF feel to it...not the normal PNR..I'll definitely read the other 2 books in the series as soon as I can work them in.

I just added that one now.

I wasn't sure when I started it...thought maybe I wouldn't read it but I still kept turning the pages and soon had to know what happened. I'm not normally much for gloom & doom, end of the world as humans know it but I must say this is well written, unique, and did suck me in.

I finished First Position by Prescott Lane, a sweet romance. I'm now reading Finding Pride by Jill Sanders.

I'm not familiar with either of those. Have you read other books by those authors?

This is the debut novel for Prescott Lane, an indie author. It's also a pseudonym. Jill Sanders has developed a four book series beginning with his book and has released a romantic suspense novel. She's pretty active here on GR promoting her books.

First Position by Prescott Lane
My Review

Thanks for that info.

I added my review above.

In the past week, I have become addicted to Laura Kinsale's books. And if you like audio at all, the narrator, Nicholas Boulton, just became my absolute fave. Best of the four I have read/listened to...Prince of Midnight and Flowers From the Storm. These are all on sale at Amazon/Audible.com

Going to check them out, Dawn. Thanks.

So you have a Kindle Starshine? I think I can loan the book (even though I have never actually done it)

Yes, Dawn...I have a Kindle. I've loaned books from my Kindle before but so many books are not "loanable"...that's determined by the Publisher. If they allow it, it's for 14 days and then it goes back to the lender's Kindle. You do it from your Kindle Account page when you pull up your list of books. There's a drop down button on the right of each title with different options listed. If it's loanable, Loan this Book is one of the options, and you click on it to bring up an info box where you put the person's email address that you want to loan it to and send it. The recipient person has the option of accepting the book or not.

I'm reading Love at High Tide by Christi Barth.

Okay, I checked and The Prince of Midnight is loanable. Let me know if you want to do that

Just got Hotshot by Julie Garwood

Interested in what you think of the book, Dee. I've seen mixed reviews.

Great, Dawn. If you want to loan it, I'll be happy to receive it to read. Let's wait until week after this one coming up, as I have all I can read this week already and the time limit starts as soon as I accept the book. I'll PM you with my email if that's okay.

I absolutely loved The Prince Of Midnight! I have the paperback still, in one of my boxes of books. You will love this story.

Great to hear...I want to read it as soon as I can. Dawn has offered to loan it on Kindle! Awesome.

That is fine Starshine, just let me know. I am busily trying to go through as much of this series as I can before Tuesday. I usually start much sooner, but got caught up in these Kinsale books lol.

I've never read Laura Kinsale's books. I'll add the two mentioned to my list for future reads.

They sound really good.
Thanks, Dawn...I'll be in touch in a few days! I'm excited to read it.

I'm starting Thankless in Death! Feels so good to say this.

Yea, Jonetta! I can't just yet. Don't know why I continue to over commit myself...just addicted to books, I guess.

Squeezing it in:)

I opened it on my Kindle a couple of times and read a couple of pages and then made myself move on to the book I need to finish. I'll probably break over this weekend!

reading thankless in death by jd robb

Just finished Ceremony in Death

I am starting the Heist and Covet

Good choices, Dee! I'm rereading Rapture, of course, and I have a couple of other book commitments to satisfy before moving on to another book of my choice.

I finished Thankless in Death today and have started by Suzanne Hayes, Loretta Nyhan. I'm thinking I'm going to need tissues by the end of this book.

About to start

About to start

A co-worker gave me a couple of Nora's stand alones that I hadn't read yet. Finished Truly Madly Manhattan and am now reading Public Secrets. FINALLY one of library's I visit has Thankless, I'm on the list for it, hopefully it won't be a long wait.

I still am having issues with Thankless. I don't want a hardcover and I am not paying 15.99 for an e book. The library might just be the way to go...

I don't like hardcovers at all, I like a paperback I can stick in my jacket pocket and I've yet to buy an ebook, so I always get the new ID books from the library. My problem is that the library in my city doesn't get books when they are released, sometimes it can take up to a month to get them. It's very frustrating when I really want to read a book! I usually go to the library a few towns over get new releases from there. Thankless didn't come up in their system till last night, keeping my fingers crossed it's not a long wait.

@ Susan - I don't know you have a Nook or a Kindle, but I had an issue w/ my Nook downloading Thankless. Mine would not forward past page 2. I had to delete it and B&N will refund me.
I think Jonetta also had an issue w/ her Nook. She said she went to the "go to page" option and selected page 3 and she was fine from that point on.

I have Kobo tablet. So I do both Kobo and Kindle books.

I always get a library book then when the book comes out in paperback or the audio comes on sale I will pick up the audio. Except for the ease of getting them, and some are easier to get that way, I am not crazy about e-books.

I have to say I am smitten with ebooks. I just love the quick gratification (1 click Amazon) and the ease & privacy of reading on my Kindle. And you can carry 100's of books with you anywhere in one hand! But, having said that, I do still love my actual books and often end up with the paperback & the ebook.

I am like that with some of my authors. When the hardcover comes out, I have to get the ebook because I can't wait to read it. Then I buy the paperback to match the ones on my shelf.

I have also read some ebooks and decided that I had to have an actual copy of the book!

I find that I am doing more and more ebooks though.

I agree! I absolutely adore my Kindle... But my bank account isn't such a fan. haha

I still love to read a "real" book too. Nothing can quite beat the smell of a book... ;)

Did you see my post about these eBooks now being in the digital libraries? Mine has it (NC).
