Ya'll forgot to put my birthday on the newsletter LOL ;)
LMAO! I'll have to get after our reporters, Susan! When is your B-Day again?
March 9 :) We're celebrating by reading
LMAO! You're killing me, Susan. We almost have 450 members now. There is NO way I'm going to start putting people's birthdays in the Newsletter, LOL! Too hard to keep track of. But, Happy Birthday! ☺
Not too worry, that'll be an awesome birthday present Susan! Judd is a total hottie!
I know. I was just kidding :) Thank you for the early birthday wishes and I'm looking forward to that hottie Judd as a birthday present. Unless ya'll want to send me Roarke. I promise I'll share him ;0)
Oh, I think you can handle both, Susan! LOL!
OMG! You all are a hoot! Happy early b-day, Susan!
Looks great, Lisa Kay.And I'm not done with Roarke from my birthday, and I'm a weeeeee bit shelfish when it comes to him, Susan. lol happy birthday early anyway. ;-)
LOL! Well, you better be done with him for mine (in September!). I've got special plans for him. **cackles deviously**
Thanks Donna and Heather!

Oh, how appropriate for March. Maybe I'll have to check him out!
Indeed, Donna. I hope you do. I read a couple of books from the series a month and have to pace myself, or it would be the only thing I ever read. lol
Oh Donna! Go get the first book and get to reading ;) he gets better with each book!
How convenient that I needed an "N" book for the My Hero challenge, so I added Naked in Death.
Ok, all this talk about Roarke has renewed my 
Maybe March should be In Death Month. lol

Okay, I just spent $8 on Roarke. He better be good. ;)
LMAO! Oh, dear, Donna! I guess we should have said that most Public Libraries have him for download. You can do it from home.
Then again, your library might not have the first couple on audio.
I haven't had much luck with libraries. Either don't have the book or if they do, there's a wait list and for some reason, I never get a notice of availability. Don't know what's going on?? Is audio better? Admittedly, never tried an audio book.
Anyway, started the book, and so far so good. His description kinda reminded me of Adam Lambert - lol!
Donna, I have never cared for audiobooks, but listening to this series is wonderful! If our library had them all on audio, I'd listen to each one.
I've only read the series via audiobook Donna and I can't imagine reading them any other way at this point. The author's voice/pace/inflection is so ingrained that I wouldn't be able to pick up a book and read it and still enjoy it on the same level. But, that's just me and my own quirkiness. The books are great reads either way.
Yeah, if you've never listened to audio, this is the one to start with, LOL!
Do the characters have voices or is it just one narrator?
Donna, in the In Death series it is just one narrator. However, Susan Ericksen, the narrator, is excellent. Amazing, really.
and she does the best Irish accent when she's reading Roarke. Just makes him all the more yummy ;)
Yes, it is a charming Irish accent with a devilishness to it, LOL!
Hmm. Well, maybe I'll have to expand my horizons with an audio sometime. Enjoying the first installment so far :).
Heather wrote: "He's completely worth it!"Yup. Gotta agree with you, Heather. Definitely money well spent!!
YAY Donna. Another Roarke lover. I really should stop sharing him. lol
Heather wrote: "YAY Donna. Another Roarke lover. I really should stop sharing him. lol"Oh, don't worry, Heather. He seems to be man enough for everybody ;).
