@Kathy - Glad you enjoyed blood brothers. Maybe that will be my next Nora Roberts series. Nora is one of my absolute favorite writers. I haven't read any of her paranormal stuff yet, but mostly her standalones.

[☘KathyD☘]

Blood Brothers was my first Nora Roberts read...I'm eager to jump into the next book in this series! :)

Her PNR stuff is more paranormal lite. Not very dark or heavy at all. My favorites of hers are always the family/trilogy stories. The group dynamics and family relationships work for me!

You've got a lot of them you could look into after the one you are reading now! I'm not even sure I could pick a favorite! Though a lot of people might say the Chesapeake Bay Saga, which I loved, but I'm not sure I loved it more that some of the others. The Circle Trilogy probably surprised me the most, wasn't sold after the first book but I was by the end.

[☘KathyD☘]

You rarely steer me wrong, so I'll have to mark these two series to get into soon! :)

[Anita Reads]

The only series/trilogy I've read by her so far, was her Born In Trilogy:
They were all good. My favorite of those 3 was book 2.

Beside those I've only read some of her standalones:


I enjoyed them all, but my least favorite was probably , my favorite was or

Right now, my next Nora book will be her new series:

is not only my favorite NR book but just an all around favorite

[Nadine Bookaholic]

Group 2 - I finished another book.

Larissa - Everything I Left Unsaid by Molly O'Keefe finished 11/21 ★★★★
I have to give it to Annie, she is an abused woman whom is trying to be something other than herself and while it was hard at times she really did continue to push for her freedom. I loved the way Dylan was with her, although they didn't see each other in person or even know what they looked like he knew without a doubt what she needed, he picked up on the clues in her voice that most people wouldn't pick up on.
my full review

[Ezi]

@Stacie Mass D-struction: (Done 1/2) was an utter disappointment. I gave it ★★ because the beginning was ★★ ★★-ish and the 2nd half was almost a DNF.
I vented on my review so I won't relive it here. thank you for the pick.

[Nadine Bookaholic]

Group 2 I finished another book

Thank you Gle for the pick.
by Sabrina Paige finished 1/24/16 ★★★

I enjoyed this book and I look forward to reading the next one in the series.
I can't believe it took me this long to get to it. One more book and I will have completed my entire list. :)

Congrats Nadine!!

Well done, Nadine! I admire your persistence.

[Nadine Bookaholic]

Thank you!
I guess I really should add the year the book was read since it took over a year to complete them all....LOL ;)

[Connie N.]

I'm still working on previous MNG challenges too, Nadine, so you're not alone.
