J.D. Robb discussion

Thanks, Bonni!

Hi there. I'm Pauline and I'm new to the group.

Hi, Pauline! Welcome to this group of JD Robb fans! So happy you joined us...look around & jump in anytime!

Welcome, Pauline! Thanks for introducing yourself.

Hi everyone! I'm Faith and I'm new to this group. I only started reading books by Nora Roberts two weeks ago and was instantly hooked. I went on Goodreads to find out more about her and this is where I discovered J.D. Robb so I began reading the In Death series. I'm on the fourth book already.

I love love love Eve and Roarke's relationship! So many female characters in romance novels are strong and sassy up until they meet their male counterpart. Then all of a sudden they become spineless and get reduced to begging for love. Not Eve. And then there's Roarke who loves her for who she is and thinks she's beautiful and sexy even though she cuts her own hair! It doesn't hurt that he's tall with the "face of a devil and the body of a god." I'm so glad that there are many more books in the series because I truly enjoy reading about Eve and Roarke.

Welcome to the group, Faith. I'm glad you stopped by to introduce yourself. It's always great to meet a new fan of this series. You will find great discussions among enthusiastic fans here. We are doing a buddy read of Glory In Death now. Feel free to jump in.

You are in for such a treat. Nora Roberts and JD Robb will fill your reading hours with pleasure after pleasure and there are so many of them. Welcome to the group and Happy Reading

Welcome Faith, I am so glad you discovered Nora Roberts and J.D robb...I absolutely love her books. I have never been addicted to any series before the in death series

Good Morning everyone it's really nice to connect with everyone that loves J D Robb as much as I do. Out of all the authors that I have read she is #1 for me. Books & Animals are my passion in life so when I discovered GoodReads & all the wonderful people here it's been a real joy. Waves Hi & glad to be here.

Hey Cindy! So glad you joined us and our Buddy Read! Welcome aboard!

Thanks Sandra for the warm welcome.

You are so welcome, Cindy...I'm so glad to have you here (& in some other groups!). This is just such a fan oriented group. Enjoy.

I'm Stephanie and I read the series through books 8 or 9 some years ago ( in other words, I was current and then didn't keep up). This time, I am listening rather than reading. This actually tales longer than reading on my Nook or Kindle, but its just easier for me. I can work on other stuff while listening since the plots aren't that complicated.

Hi Stephanie! Thanks for introducing yourself..I've already enjoyed discussions with you! So glad you're joining in the BRs.

Welcome to the group, Faith! We're really happy you not only discovered the series but also this group. Glad to have you.

You've also nailed one of the distinctions of this series...Eve Dallas is always true to her character despite being in a relationship. It's one of the elements that keeps most of us hooked.

Hi, Cindy, and welcome to the group! We hope to be one of your best Goodreads connections and don't be shy about chiming in whether you agree with the conversation or not...we're a friendly bunch:)

Welcome, Stephanie! I'm glad listening to the series after having first begun it by reading works for you. We had a discussion about this recently and some of us can't make this kind of transition. Those that do listen to the series love it so enjoy.

Hi Everyone,
My name is Lynnette. I began reading the In Death novels back when the first came out (I was reading a lot in those days) there was only 3 books out then. However I bought an e-reader a couple of years ago and I was able to borrow books from my library. Since then I have caught up on all the books. I absolutely love them so I decided to join this group.

Welcome Lynnette...we have a great time here...I love this group and hope you will as well

Hi Lynnette. Welcome to this great fan group. We currently have a good buddy read going on. Some of us are rereading the series and we have a few first time readers. Interesting discussions and a lot of fun! We'd love for you to join us!

Welcome, Lynette! That was some gap between books but eReaders make it SO easy to keep up. Thanks for joining and we look forward to hearing from you.

Hello
My introduction to the in death series was portrait in death. My aunt gave me the book and it sat on my shelf for maybe 2 years. I had decided that it wasn't a book I would enjoy. One day after being laid up with the flu and feeling irritable wanting to read something but none of my large unread pile interested me. I picked up portrait in death and have been hooked ever since. It took me a while to track down the first few books especially glory in death but I eventually found them. So I could reread everything in order. I now buy the new ones as soon as they hit the bookshelves although now I read ebooks as I ran out of space and had to rationalize.

Welcome Lesley! Portrait is one of my favorites in the series!

Hi Lesley! Welcome to the group. Your intro to the series sounds like several others...given one of the books and set it aside waiting a long time to pick it back up and then..Bam! You're hooked! lol We've all been there & are definitely hooked on this series! Enjoy the group! Join in our buddy reads..we're rereading the series and having a great time discussing the books. Just finishing up with Glory In Death and will move on to Immortal in a few days.

Welcome to the group, Lesley! Funny how I had the same problem tracking down Glory in Death. It wasn't in the Sony Reader Store and I had to find it elsewhere. Glad you found us!

Hi everyone. I'm glad to be here. I feel like I've been reading the "in death" series forever. Not sure when the first one came out, but I remember finding several of them in my local library (when I lived in DC) and trying to work my way through them all. (would have been in the 1990s when they were first coming out) I followed the series while living in England, then Pennsylvania and now Buffalo and still enjoy every new release when it comes out. I'm fairly new to GoodReads and just starting to try out groups, but I'm happy to be here!

Welcome to Goodreads and this group! I'm really glad you found us. Just jump right in, you're among friends here:)

Hi Diana...Welcome to our group. You'll find yourself among avid fans of the In Death series here. So happy for you to join us. Looking forward to discussing these books with you!

I'm glad to be here - not sure if I'm an avid fan of the series or just an avid fan of Roarke! ;-)

I really enjoy the books and all of the characters and I love how the relationships evolve as the characters change over time.

Oh, I think you'll find everyone here is a fan of Roarke. Some of us are doing a reread of the series as a Buddy Read...Join us if you like. It's a lot of fun, and we're discovering some little thing we might have missed the first few times we read it!

Or the first several times we read it :-D. Welcome!

Lol...yes, as Beth said, most of us have read them several times! Please join us!

Thank you for the invitation...I only own a handful of her books (I had more but I think they must have gotten lost in a move, or else they are in a box at my mom's...)...but I will try to join in when you do one that I've actually got. And I intend to hit the library soon to see what I can grab there, would love to chat about them as I read them...I don't know any other fans in the real world (although I know there are tons because there is always a waiting list at our library for the new ones!)

Hi Everyone!!! :)
My name is Malissa. I am 20 years old and live in Oklahoma. I am currently a sophomore in college. However, I am not currently enrolled in college at this time. I recently moved back to the United States from living in Japan so I had to put my college studies on hold while I get settled. Once I get more settled, I'm hoping to attend the University of West Florida as an English or Library Sciences major. Even though I miss being in school full time, I love having the extra time to read the books that I want to read :)

I am excited about this new group and am looking forward to participating in discussions with y'all! :)

Welcome, Malissa! Where are you in the series?

I'm just starting the series. I've read the first couple of chapters in the first book and I'm absolutely loving it so far :)

Hi Malissa! Welcome to the group. You have a lot of good reading ahead of you. Our Buddy Read is just starting on Book 3 so if you catch up to us, join in!

That's great, Malissa! I hope you enjoy the journey and this group.

Hi Sandra!
Thank you for the warm welcome! :)
I hope to be caught up soon. I probably won't be starting college until January so I would have a lot of time to read :)

Thank you so much, Jonetta! :)
I'm definitely enjoying the journey so far :)

Awesome Malissa! We're going slow with the Buddy Read so, with lots of time to read, you should catch up soon!

Yeah! A first time reader will keep us honest on the buddy reads!

I'm planning on going to the library and checking out some of the books that I'm missing in the series that I can read them back-to-back :)

Beth wrote: "Yeah! A first time reader will keep us honest on the buddy reads!"

Hi Beth! :)
Lol, yeah, I'll definitely be asking y'all a lot of questions about the series :)

Excited for you to join us, Malissa!

I'm really looking forward to joining in discussions with y'all :)

I have been reading Nora Roberts for a very long time. I started reading the indeath series last year and have read almost the entire series and waiting to read the new one!

Welcome, Readuser! We're so glad you joined the group.

Hi, Readuser! Welcome to our group of JD Robb fans! I read Nora Roberts first also...then found she also writes this awesome series!

I'm a JD Robb transfer. Started out with an In Death book somewhere in the middle and realized I was in the middle and started over at the start. Didn't realize it was Nora Roberts till the Hot Rocks cross over.
