J.D. Robb discussion

Hi, Dinnae and welcome! I really hope you get a chance to get all of the books and read them in order.

I discovered Nora after J. D. Robb and became a fan. There are others here that are like you and only prefer J. D. Robb so you've got company:).

Hi Lynne & Dinnae! Welcome aboard. We're so glad to have you here. I'm both a Nora and a JD Robb fan. I love all the books. I would encourage anyone to read the In Death series in order...so many character introductions and development in this series. Love to have you join in the buddy reads anytime. We are just finishing Vengeance.

Hello. I am 28 books into the in death series and I just love Roark and Eve. This is only my 2nd group and I look forward to getting to know you all.

Hi Katie! Welcome to our group. We are so glad to have you join us in discussing these awesome books. Jump in anytime!

Welcome, Katie! You're at the halfway mark and enjoy the rest of your In Death reading journey. Thanks for joining our group.

I can't remember how I first discovered J.D. Robb's In Death Series, but I know once I'd started reading them I had to read them all to date. Then I discovered that it was even better to listen to them!! I think I've now read/listened all but the last 3 or 4 of them.

Welcome, Nancy! You definitely can't read just one:) Enjoy the group and thanks for joining.

Hi Nancy! Happy to have you join us. There's just something addicting about this series. You definitely can't just read one!

Hi,

I have been reading these books forever. I am up to date on the series and anxiously waiting for the next one. I have read them all in book and audio format.
I really love all of the characters but I believe Mavis would be my favorite.

Welcome, Shari! You're the second person in three days to join who has listened to AND read the series. I think that's pretty amazing.

Thanks for joining!

Hi Shari! Welcome to the group. We're always happy to have another fan of the series join us. Looking forward to discussing these books with you.

wow - i wish i had the time to both listen and read! hahaha! ;) that is TOTALLY impressive! plus, i can't focus to listen to audio books... is that weird? lol

I have a problem with audio books to, Dinnae. Hearing the voice reading to me bothers my concentration. You're not alone! lol

It's something that's learned I think, the first few books I had a problem concentrating on what was being said. But now I have no problem at all. The reader for the J.D. Robb books is absolutely fantastic. Also the reader for Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series, the reader for Greg Ile's books, and the reader for Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series are also excellent.

Thanks for that info, Nancy. I'll keep trying!

Keep trying Star....I hated it at first and now its a lifeline and allows me to "read" in the car. I am on the 4th JD Robb and loving it. The reader is fantastic!

Everyone says the narrator is awesome...I haven't given up.

Hi my name is Simmi I'm new to J. D. Robb book I've always loved suspense/thrillers books I friend gave me Naked in Death as a gift and I loved it. Portrait in Death is in my current reading list.

Welcome to the group, Simmi! Please tell me you're reading the books in order:)

I wasn't going to I've only so far read #1, is important to read them in order? I only own #1, #16, #34,#35?

Oh, my goodness, this is one series we highly recommend you read in order. One of the most important aspects of the series is the character development that progresses with each book (which represents about one month of elapsed time in the series).

Thanks Jonetta I had no idea I'll look into buying the book in order

Check on ebay and see if you can buy the rest as either one auction like I was lucky enough to find or in groups. Good luck!! And yes it is very important to read in order as the characters grow and change Enjoy!!

Hi Simmi! Welcome to our group. Glad you discovered this series and are enjoying it. I, too, will have to say you need to read it in order. So much happening with the introduction of characters and the relationship developments from book to book. Look forward to discussing them with you!

Thank you, Katie, for offering Simmi that suggestion. There's also Paperback Swap that you can checkout. And, used bookstores are a great resource.

Lastly, these books are a library staple. If you haven't visited your local library, you haven't met your best book friend yet!

Good luck!

Thanks for all the suggestions I think I'm going look online bookstores like Chapters. I also have a birthday coming up and Christmas is around the counter so I can add the J. D. Robb to
My wish list

Hi! My name is Teri and I'm new to the In Death series. I first heard about the series from my Mom. She gave me 4 books but told me they were later in the series so I put them on my bookshelf. I was an Audible member and a few years back I had some credits to burn so I bought 5 In Death books but never listened to them. About 2 months ago I decided to restart my account at Audible, downloaded their app and noticed I have the first 5 In Death books. Well! Once I listened to Naked in Death I was hooked. I'm currently listening to Ceremony in Death. I've been trying to make them last but once I start its so hard to stop so I go through them pretty quick. I found the group on GR and am so glad I did. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone and discussing this amazing series.

Oh, Teri, you are so hooked! Don't fight it...resistance is futile:)

Welcome to the group!!

Hi Teri! So happy to have another Robb fan to discuss these books with! We're doing a buddy read of the entire series and are just 1 book ahead of you after you finish Ceremony...we're starting Holiday In Death. Hope you'll join us when you catch up!

Welcome Teri, It is always great to meet people who have the same addiction to the series

Hi I am new to the group & Goodreads. I began reading the In Death series 4 years ago and have read all. Currently reading last one Treachery in Death. Loving it so much. Someday I hope to own the entire set and re-read from the 1st one.

Welcome to our In Death obsession group. Not sure if you read ebooks, but Amazon has many of the older books on sale. Midnight is currently free.

Welcome to the group and Goodreads, Tricia! The series is even better the second time around.

Welcome Tricia!!

Welcome Trisha :)

Hi Trisha! Welcome to the group. I agree that the series is better the second time around. We're doing that in a buddy read right now. We're currently at Holiday in Death. Join in anytime!

Hi Tricia. Welcome to the group

Welcome Tricia!

Hi, I'm Carol and I started reading the In Death series back in 2005 and was hooked. Of course, Roarke is my favorite character. I began with number 1 and am currently up to date waiting until next year :-(

Hi Carol! Welcome to our group. I think we all are in agreement that Roarke is the best!

Welcome Carol! Roarke is the best. I totally agree.

Welcome, Carol! Glad you found us and I hope you enjoy the group.

Hi! have just recently discovered goodreads and this group. Read my first In Death book a couple years back and totally fell in love with Eve and Roarke. Since then i've gone on a rampage trying to amass the entire collection Have read and reread them all countless times..am about to start Thankless in Death...am so happy i found this group!

Welcome Azleen! This is a very friendly group. You'll love it here.

Welcome to Goodreads and the group, Azleen! Teri is so right about it being friendly here. We just all love this series and talking about it.

Hi Azleen! Great to have you join us! You will enjoy this group of In Death fans!

Hi, I am Christine, and I am a Nora addict. I have all the JD Robb books, and every other year of so, I re-read them from start to what ever the latest release is. I love Eve and imagine Roarke to be too sexy to actually exist.

Welcome Christine!

Teri wrote: "Welcome Christine!" Thanks! My Daughter just introduced me to goodreads... dont know how I lived without it, should help stop me from buying the same book twice!

Welcome, Christine! Enjoy the fantasy we call Roarke as we have many discussions about him around here.

Have fun with the group and add to the talk!
