Maria Rosa | 5 comments Hi. I own most NR books and all JDs. Love quite a few of them (sorry, not all ;) ). Not very keen on trilogies, except Circle. Prefer thick books 'cause i read very fast. LOL
I'm living in switzerland and Portugal and as it's difficult to buy english book, i now get the Kindle and Audible ones. Still, I have about 50 paperback in my different shelves.

Welcome Maria Rosa! How lucky for you that you own most of the books. I'm looking forward to learning more about your reading experiences.

Maria Rosa | 5 comments I'm probably not representative of the group. I've been following some topics and many books and H/h everybody likes, i don't specially. I'm more for reading than writing. LOL
My regular rereads are some in death titles and most of her two-word titles like carnal innoncence etc. Love Tucker.
Had all Silhouette etc. but with moving here and there, I had give a lot away.

Welcome to the group, Charity! I remember that message board as Nora used to participate on it. I used to get lots of helpful info from that site.

I hope you enjoy your experience here and am looking forward to your posts.

Erica I have just discovered Nora Roberts. I kept seeing she had tons of titles at my local library, so I decided to read one. I picked Angels Fall. I absolutely LOVED it! So now I am trying to read all of them. I am so glad I found this group!

That's a good one. My favorite is the Cousins O'Dwyer trilogy. I like the magic stuff the best. Also her books set in Ireland are good. Their all good but those are my favorites

message 566: by Sue (last edited Oct 02, 2015 04:21AM) (new)

Sue | 20 comments Hi, my name is Sue, I think I have lurking in this group before actually introducing myself. I am big fan of the of romance novels and cut my reading eyes on Mills and Boon romance novels. I have seen myself progress from Mills and Boon type romances, historical suspense through my favourite at the moment and for quite a while of romantic suspense and I belive NR strands all these genres. I do read other genres by find romance novels my go to genre, comfort read and my guilty pleasure read.

I would not say I was a big fan of Nora Roberts, but if someone gave me one of her books or I saw a book by her selling cheaply I would take it/buy it. I do find her books entertaining but do sometimes feel she mix up the romance in the novels and make some of the love scenes a little bit raunchier and dirtier (just my humble opinion).

My least favourite NR novels/series is the 'In Death' series but I am looking forward to discussing her novels with you all. Nora Roberts is certainly a prolific writer - my favourite reads of hers is the 'Night Tales' and the 'Stanislaski' series, I hope this group will push me to read other NR books as well as those in my collection.

I read recently that a many years ago NR took one of my favourite authors to court Janet Dailey for plagarism and won and gave the compensation to charity!

Cathy Skendrovich Hi, fellow NR fans! I have been reading Nora for ages; I think I've read all her books over the years. She doesn't know it, but she's my mentor. I strive to write like her, and I know I have a long, long way to go. So glad to be with like-minded readers!

message 580: by A (new)

A (the_aiobhan) Hi! I'm so glad I decided to finally join some Goodreads groups - I've been a Nora Roberts fan for at least a dozen years now, and I wasn't even ALIVE when she started writing books!

I'm Andrea and I am a 20-something living in the Seattle area with a husband, two dogs, and a career as a professional tutor. I'm a second-generation nerd (raised by a Civ-playing, MMO-loving, 70s sci-fi reading, Babylon 5-watching computer engineer) and, while I used to read about 3-4 books a week, I'm lucky if I get ONE a week, now. I'd love to join a book club with awesome ladies, make some friends, read some books, and get back into reading regularly.

In addition to reading, I love Star Trek: TNG, gaming (used to play GW2 a lot, just finished Fallout 4's Automaton DLC), makeup, plus size fashion, cooking, crocheting, tea, collecting Disney tsum tsums, and eating through all the world's cultures that I can't visit in person.

I'm glad to be here!

message 585: by Cindy (new)

Cindy (wanna_read_all_the_books) | 261 comments Hi, I'm Cindy. I've just rekindled my love affair with Nora when a friend recommend The Cousins O'Dwyer trilogy to me week before last. I read them as fast as I possibly could and even though I read everything she had written up through 1999, now I want to re-read it all and check out all the new ones I've missed!


message 586: by Jonetta (new)

Jonetta (ejaygirl) | 7081 comments Mod
Welcome, Cindy! You've definitely got some very good reads ahead of you as Nora's written great stories since 1999.

We're currently reading the second book in her Guardians Trilogy. I recommend starting with the first book, Stars of Fortune, and then catching up with us.

Enjoy!
Stars of Fortune (The Guardians Trilogy, #1) by Nora Roberts

Britney | 380 comments Hi Cindy!!! LOVED The Cousins O'Dwyer triology! I'm the opposite of you though, I'm currently trying to seperate myself from my love affair with Nora (at least enough to broaden my horizons) because when I started reading she's all I ever read, over and over, year after year lol. So I'm branching out into the world and joined goodreads, have found some amazing books, thanks to my friend in this group. And my love affair with Nora continues as I still have to have her in between or after books most of the time.


message 588: by Nina (new)

Nina Peters | 3 comments Hi, I'm new my name is Nina and I have to say I have been reading romance books for 40 years but had not read anything by Nora Roberts until 4 years ago. Why did I wait so long? I don't know because I love her books now! It is rare for me to re-read a book I have already read once. But I have found a few of her series books that I have re-read twice already because they are like visiting with old friends and re-telling great times! To me that makes her a master story teller!

Jonetta (ejaygirl) | 7081 comments Mod
Welcome, Nina! I only started reading Nora about six years ago so I waited a bit also.

We're glad you're here and I noticed you've already joined in on a discussion.


message 590: by Jeanette (new)

Jeanette (jenb_73) Hi everyone! I'm Jeanette and read my first Nora Roberts book in 2004 when a co-worker gifted me Birthright. I fell in love with her books right away! I am a slower reader but there are days when I get after it and can't put a book down for nothing! I have participated in reading challenges for the last couple of years. Last year it was the generic 2015 reading challenge. It really forced me to step outside of my comfortable little box and read some interesting books. This year I have decided to try to read through the whole In Death series from J.D. Robb. I have read many series by Nora and her stand alones. The last one I read was The Collector by Nora Roberts which I loved!!

Ruth Benziger (ruth5garcia5) | 0 comments Hi. I'm Ruth Anne. I just found this group. For 2017 I'm doing the Nora Roberts Challenge. I'm reading 105 books of hers this year. I fell in love with her writing and am enthralled every time I get into a story. I hope to meet others who share the same love. So far my favorite book of hers is River's End. I've read it many times. I just recently went out and bought all 100 of the books so I've prepared for this year.

That's true dedication, Ruth, and a great goal! I, too, loved River's End. I discovered Nora's books many, many years ago and pretty much binge read every book she had out at the time. Since then, I've read most newer ones as they released.
