J.D. Robb discussion

I've found driving time to be a great listening to books time (also listen during house cleaning & other chores). 60 to 90 minutes is a great span of time for daily audiobooks.

Hi everyone,

I'm Kay, a long time Nora Roberts fan. From her early Harlequin days. That led to Robb though I never made the connection until it was announced.

I came looking for this group today because I'm wasting so much money looking for books that are at least 1/2 as good as this series. I'm listening to the series in order, again. I'm on Divided in Death and plan to finish the series, but I'm also dying for something new. Suggestions more than welcome.

Now, to get back to what I was doing...looking at the cast photos. I'm having a great time guessing who each picture looks like before I read the comments.

I know who I'd love as Eve but she's too old. We need a 12 year old who can 'look' older so she'll still be able to look like kick butt cop in thirty or forty years when the movies are still coming out. lol

Hi Kaydee! Welcome to our group! I'm so glad you found us & look forward to discussing the series with you. We also have some great Monthly Read Books & Book of the Month Authors. I'm currently enthralled with Sandra Brown & Karen Rose. Jump in anytime!

Thanks for the welcome. Jumping in is no problem. Shutting me up however....not even I can do that, and I do try.

My memory is a disaster so I hope you all will be able to understand my 'long hand.' I've tried Sandra Brown and didn't like her though don't remember why. The the series about the repro girl? Barely made it through the second and the movie.

I'm off to Audible to check out Karen Rose.

Welcome, Kay! I've been enjoying your journey through the cast photos:)

I'm going to second Sandra's recommendation about Karen Rose. I call her the queen of romantic suspense. Just read her series in order, though.

Some of Sandra Brown's earlier books weren't appealing to me but her more recent books have worked for me.

Lastly, when I was in your shoes, looking for another series after In Death, Suzanne Brockmann's Troubleshooters was recommended (first book The Unsung Hero) and I fell in love! The first book is good but the series strengthens with the second and by the third, you just can't stop.

Hope this is helpful!

And Jonetta...you've just added another author/series to my very long list! :) I haven't read any Brockmann.

OMG!!!! How have I not told you about this series????

LOL...don't think so although I've heard about it - just not got around to it yet. That good, hmmmm???

Oh, it's my second most favorite series behind In Death.

Oh Wow! That tells me a lot. Off to get the first one! :)

I'm following you. Three new authors and a lot more pictures...my life has meaning again. LOl

LOL Kaydee...glad we could help! And the list goes on and on and on...

Don't think I've mentioned I'm a navy veteran, navy seals are h.o.t

Yes!! Brockmann's series is considered to be the best series featuring Navy SEALs.

Anyone here goto paperback swap group? Just did a search and there are 127 books by Suzanne Brockmann available. Cd versions are mostly abridged which I don't get.

p.s. they have sites for dvds and cds too.

I don't get abridged versions either.

Kay, have you checked out your library?

My library?

Library...doh. harder to manage reading in order

I only asked because mine has the entire Troubleshooters series in both eBook and audiobook formats.

hi all, my name is amanda. i am currently studying at tafe so i havent had a chance to talk on here since i started my course. i have started collecting the series.

Welcome Amanda.

Welcome to the group, Amanda!

Hi my name is Elizabeth I am new to this group, I read my first in death book when I checked one out in the library I didnt know it was part of a series when I got it. Once I read the book and found out it was a part of a series I knew I had to start at the beginning. Right now I finished the conspiracy in death book. I usually dont like futuristic books but I love this series! `

Hi Elizabeth! Welcome to the group. I agree - this is definitely a series best read in order.

Welcome, Elizabeth! You hold the wonderful distinction of being our 1,000th member to join the group!!! It's time to celebrate.

So glad to see you here.

Wow. Congrats Elizabeth hand welcome.

Yay Elizabeth! A double welcome aboard! :)

Hi, I am Kris and I am addicted to In Death series (courtesy of Jonetta)! I am at book 32 (Salvation in Death) and hope to catch up next year.

Welcome Kris...funny, this is probably the only series addiction I cannot blame on Jonetta.

Lol! This is one of the few things I love getting blamed for:) You are so welcome, Kris!

Welcome Kris! Jonetta has hooked me on more than a few series but like Dawn, I cannot blame her with this one! Happy to have you join our group!

Thank you for the welcome, Jonetta, Sandra and Dawn! Lol. I should have said this is one of many series that Jonetta has addicted me to ;)

I have found that I just don't enjoy the books as much unless I'm listening to Susan Ericksen's superb performance. She doesn't just read these books, she performs them! Best audiobook voice out there!

Hello, number 1000! Welcome!

Hi all, I'm also addicted to the In Death series as a result of Jonetta :-) I'm at book 14 (Interlude in Death). I really hope to progress this series a lot in 2015.

Hi Tracey! So happy to welcome you to our group! :)

Woo hoo!!!!! Welcome, Tracey! Thrilled to see you here:)

Yay, Tracey's here!

Welcome Tracey, Jonetta has a way of getting you hooked on books lol. I have had my share Lol. glad you came to join us and hope you jump in and join the discussions.

And Sheri, you're one of my biggest teasers! Love following your binge reading.

LOL yeah I have been slacking a little lately with the reading since i started working full time. I am hoping to get back to actual books now that I can't do the audio which makes me very sad. 2015 my reading will pick back up again

Well, I look forward to seeing what you're reading.

I am still working on finishing Lost Souls by Lisa Jackson and I started it on November 11th lol My goal is to try to finish it this weekend and then i am going to look for a new series to read.
