Nora Roberts Groupies discussion

Just finished Hidden Star to round out the Stars of Mithra series...found it unexpectedly sweet...all three of them were good with MJ/Dakota's story being my fave.

I've also read all of her single title books...except Promise me Tomorrow...can't find it anywhere.

I like the Mithra series, too. They are short and sweet. Captive Star with MJ and Jack was my favorite of those.

Yeah, Promise Me Tomorrow is almost impossible to get unless you're willing to spend over $100 for it. It's never been re-issued so the only copies available are the original prints.

Woh, $100!! Wonder why it hasn't been reissued, is it that bad :-) or did it just not do well when it came out?

Nora has said that book will never be re-issued. From some things I have read, I get the feeling she isn't a big fan of it, lol

Someone who knows her told me that she doesn't care for the book and has no desire for it to be reissued ever. So the only way to get it is to buy it used for astronomical prices...or get lucky and find it at a yard sale or thrift store. I have it wishlisted at PBS...I'm number 121 in line for it :(

Try reading the Chesapeake Bay Series. These are one on my favorite series. Lots of male testosterone & bonding. With lots of romance and family values mixed in. Very good reading. Sherry M

Love the Chesapeake Bay series...Cam and Anna were my favorite couple!

I just read Lawless, reallllly liked it...such an unexpected treat to read a historical romance from Nora.

Just finished the Cirlce Trilogy, loved it! I wasn't sure if i would like them or not but wonderful.

Hi everyone, I'm new to this group and I'm also new to Nora Roberts. I think so far I've read maybe 15?

Out of her trilogies I've read: sign of seven, gallagher's of ardmore, chesapeake saga

and I've read a few stand alones. I've also read her JD Robb series.

Welcome to the group, Jess!

Welcome Jess.

Welcome Jess...you've got a whole lot of great Nora reading ahead of you!! Lucky! :-)

Hi Jess! Imagine meeting you here? *huge grin*

lol hi! yeah I'm totally on a Nora binge, I can't seem to want to read anything but her right now. I'm addicted :)

Right now I'm working on High Noon, and just finished Blue Smoke (which I didn't really like). And then I might read Midnight Bayou next or Birthright. Screw my other non Nora books lol.

Hey Sherry! lol. Fancy seeing you here.

I actually missed it, my bf's mom had taped it using the DVR thing through Cablevision but then I realized I didn't want to watch the movie first before reading the book. So I think it ended up being deleted. Oops.

But I think someone said you can buy the movie through I-Tunes for a few bucks.

The books are 100% better ladies!

Isn't that always the case lol

The Books are a lot better. I just finally got to watching Tribute last night (my husband has been telling me to get my stuff off the DVR but never gives me time to watch my shows after the kids are asleep, LOL) didn't really like it. I think Brittany Murphy was horrible! the book was SO SO much better!

Please, don't see the movies!!! You are always disappointed at the end...

lol, I won't bother with them! I already missed them anyway.

well i read anything i can get my hands on and think of her as my fav. writer. i have yet to read any of her j.d. robb books. i will prob try them when i finish all her reag. books. i enjoy that even though i know the book will turn out good i can't stand to put it down!! hopefully i can finish 20 or so books of hers i have not read!! mostly i luv the sagas because you still get to read about the characters after the happily ever after lol. happy reading

just finish my first J.D.Robb book. I am very surprised that I really enjoyed it! I think I will alternate her regular books and the J.D.Robb books! I have read 27 NR books (including 1 J.D.Robb)and have 63 waiting to be read in my room... So many books, so little time... lol

Miriam, I know what you mean. It looks like I am about even, 86 read and 86 yet to read. I haven't tried J.D. Robb yet because I am waiting until I get through her regular books before starting it. its crazy how many she has but I want to read them all. Love her.

I have read 27 that I have kept track of. I have another 20 books of hers on my bookshelf to read. I really enjoy her writing. I read such a mix. I will get back around to her though.

I've really only read a handful of her books (like around 5) but I own 96.

I have only read 20 of her books so far so I have a ton of them left. Not a bad thing because I really enjoy her. I just read so many authors that things tend to get shuffled around a bit!

$100 for Promise Me Tomorrow? Dang, I still really hate myself for giving it away after finding it in a used bookstore one time but I just really didn't like it.
Anyway, I've read pretty much all of the books since I try to read them as I got them and have them all except this last hardcover and some JD Robb titles. I love most of them, especially the series books like Seven Signs, Three Sisters Island, Chesapeake Bay and then her Silhouette series books. I did not like the Stars of Mithra series. Not sure why. They didn't appeal to me but that may have had something to do with reading them while in therapy for a leg injury(reading while in pain, not a good idea) so I may re-read them this summer since I try to read my favorite Nora titles at least once a year.

I have read just about everyone of her books except the ones under Silouette.

According to my "nora" shelf here, I have read 34 (and a half - currently reading Windfall Impulse\Temptation). But, as someone else said, that isn't an entirely accurate number as some have been 2- and 3-book anthologies. So probably closer to 70 books by Nora Roberts, none by JD Robb. There are 53 (again, some anthologies) in the TBR pile.

Hi, I just joined the group.
I have to admit, I have only read 12 Nora books and 2 JD Robb books, but I have decided to take the plunge and start reading more of her stuff. I work in a used book store so it is easy to get my hands on her books. 2010 will probably be my year of Nora. :)

My reading goal this year has bee nNora. Trying to get through as many of her books as I can find. I am up to 126 with 85 to go, Including the indeath series. without that I have 49 left to read. WHOOO! so much Nora so little time.

I have read many, if not close to all, of Nora's books but none by JD Robb yet. Someone said that you dont have to start at the earliest but i am not sure, what do you all think? Is there a preferred order?

At least start with the first 2 in order; is shows Roarkes and Dallas's relationship and how it all started....

As for the rest, I didn't read them in order at first but there are major milestones....like the discovery of Roarkes past, Mavis's baby....it really depends on the reader. But I do suggest reading 1 and 2 first....it sets the stage for everything that follows... :)

Wonderful, that is great to know,
thank you!!

I have read a ton of Nora Roberts!!! She is one of my FAVORITE authors!!!

I think that Roberts is one of those authors that once you read, you can't help but read everything you get your hands on. At least that's how it was for me. Once I read one book of hers I was on a crusade to read every one of her books I could find lol.

I agree completely! I can't put any of her books down(:

Jess I am on that crusade right now. that has been my goal this year, read as much nora as possible. LOL I think I am down to like 15 left with out the in death series.

I need to read Ceremony in Death next and I can't wait to get it from the library:) I just started reading nora's books at the start of summer and I've already read a ton of her books!

I have read over 130 books of nora Roberts and i own all of them.

i really like nora roberts shes great and an awsome writer.

Wow:) thats a lot I also think that nora roberts is a great writer!

lol yeah shes really great i just bought five more nora roberts books today...i cant wait to read the three i havent read.

my mom doesn't like me buying books b/c I have so many and she says I so many & I read to much

Well, you can never read too much...... :)

I agree:)

I am not sure exactly how much I have read but I know it is a lot of her books. Some of the old ones I have missed. I also love JD Robbs books as well. At first it took a bit to get used to her because they were so different but now I am hooked. One of the things I love about Nora is how she links people in her books. So many books I love to list but a few include to Born In series and I am loving The Bride Quartet.
