Been listening to and reading . HO! HO! HO!

[Gabrielle]

Divided in death was awesome

[Sandra]

I agree, Gabrielle!

[Jonetta]

I finished One in a Million by Jill Shalvis and loved it. It's the final book in the series so it's bittersweet.

I'm now reading All Good Deeds by Stacy Green.

[Kirsten]

I've been listening to Suspect by Robert Crais.

From Crais' website:
"RC has optioned the rights to his best-selling novel, SUSPECT, to Fox 2000 for an adaptation to be produced by Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson, the producers behind THE HUNGER GAMES film franchise."

[Jonetta]

I listened to his book Hostage and loved it. I think I've got this one on my shelf...

[Kirsten]

I really need to go back and read some of his other books. He even has his own fan club called the "Craisies"

I've got his Elvis Cole series but haven't started yet.

[Penni]

I've been listening to Remember When. I've never read a nora roberts book before. The writing style seems very similar to her In Death books. Or maybe its just the narration that makes it difficult to separate the two of them.

[Jonetta]

There are definitely some style similarities, just lacks the edginess of the ID series.

Penni - I actually rarely find similarities between the two. I don't know if it's Susan Ericksen's incredible performance, but every Nora Roberts book I've read is incredibly flat with a complete lack of chemistry compared to the In Death series.

Not that they aren't good. If I'd never been exposed to Eve & Roarke & friends, I'd probably enjoy them a lot more. But once you've had steak, ground beef just isn't as satisfying.

Or maybe I should say, once you've had Argentine Gold coffee, you just can't stand instant.

[Sandra]

Penni - Nora has some really good standalone romance/suspense books. Hot Rocks is not one of my favorites - it's okay but there are some that are much better, imo.

I don't read Nora Roberts, and actually, don't intend to start. This particular book was written as the prequel to Big Jack, an indeath novella, so maybe that's why I see the similarities. Or perhaps as I said the narrator and the cadence. But there are terms used - pulling threads for instance, that I hear a lot in the in death books. Also, just the way the descriptions are done, the flow of the book, the sex scenes (there's a way she does them that doesn't invoke just the sex, but the feelings/emotions/something more), the characters - foil of good to bad (in reverse in this case) - there are similarities to me.

Overall, I am enjoying it so far. I think it will be interesting to have the background from this story when I get to Big Jack. But, Nora is not anything that I will pursue after this. And I wasn't really trying to compare them in quality/interest/content - but just that they both feel to me to be written by the same author. And curious what makes people think she hasn't written all the in death books herself, as I have never gotten that impression.

[Sandra]

It makes sense that it feels that way, I guess. It is the same person! :)

I enjoyed Hot Rocks & I love most of Nora's books. The characters are always well connected...the emotional tug is there as is the chemistry although she doesn't exploit it but does use it. I always come away feeling like I "know" her characters & usually love them.

[Paula]

just finished Sea of Tranquility. on to Purity in Death Took a break from Eve and Roarke and boy do I miss Roarke.

And there are what - 5000 of them? I need to stay away, just stay far away LOL
I'm not even half way through in death yet. But I am making good progress!

Big Jack and then Divided before the end of the month...

[Sandra]

Over 200+ but the biggest part of them are Standalones, Penni! :) That's the good news! And a few are trilogies.

[Sandra]

I've finished Here's My Review

Oh well, ONLY 200. Not a problem then lol.

I finished Hot Rocks or the first part of Remember When however you want to look at it and have started into . Glad to be getting into the Eve and Roarke part now and seeing the hooks in from the previous book.

[Jonetta]

My review of One in a Million by Jill Shalvis.

I enjoyed Big Jack.

[Kirsten]

Oh, yes, that audiobook of Dracula is incredible with ALL the audiotalent they recruited!

Just finished Suspect by Robert Crais. It's been a long time since I gave a book 5 stars, but this book deserved it.

It was not just a really good mystery/thriller, it probably deserved 3.5 stars for that storyline alone. But add in the dog and relationship building and it shot up like a rocket!

[Penni]

Now listening to Seventh Grave and No Body

[Sandra]

I've got to start the Charley Davidson series! But when???

[Jonetta]

I read the first book and loved it, listened to the second and stalled. Need to get back to it.

[Gabrielle]

[Quynh]

Love this series!!

[Quynh]

Me too. I love going back to Lucky Harbor. Plus Jill Shalvis's humor is always on point.

[Jonetta]

Finally wrote my review for The Hollow by Nora Roberts.

[Gabrielle]

Visions in death

[Jonetta]

Finally wrote my review of Shadow Spell by Nora Roberts.

[Lisa]

Just finished Lethal by Sandra Brown, enjoyed it a lot, just wish the ending gave me more, but a good book. Now reading Dark Witch by Nora.

[Kirsten]

I've been re-listening to Immortal in Death and reading Lady Chatterley's Lover. I'm really impressed with LCL. I can see why it caused such an uproar in 1928. It's probably still banned today. However, I'm really enjoying it. The character of Lady Chatterley is so well constructed you feel you could reach out and touch her.

@Lisa - How is Dark Witch? I've been thinking of checking out that series.

[Jonetta]

I remember that ending. You just had to go with your imagination.

[Karma Queen]

I'm reading and it's moving along but I can't help but think it sounds like it could be a Lifetime movie.

[Lisa]

Forgot, also starting Have You Seen Her by Karen Rose.

I listened to Lady Chatterley's Lover for the first time earlier this year. And I really enjoyed it. I thought the audio of it was great.

[Penni]

Finished Divided in Death and Seventh Grave and No Body. Enjoyed both very much.

Now listening to An Artificial Night which I am enjoying so far. A very complex world.

[Jonetta]

I'm reading Till Justice is Served by Jerrie Alexander.

[Sandra]

I just finished by the fabulous Tiffany Reisz..such an amazing imagination & writing style. This was the perfect spooky yet romantic Halloween week read!

[Quynh]

I'm reading Lucky Harbor #5 At Last now. Mmm Ranger Hot Buns. ;)

[Maggie]

I'm reading Blood Magik.

[Sheri]
