These are the first Nora Roberts books I've ever read, and it is only because Crackerbarrel's audio book selection was pretty slim on a recent trip that I picked them up in the first place, but now I'm HOOKED. I just finished book two, and immediately downloaded book three. (Thank goodness for all those B&N gift cards for Christmas!) I can't pretend that these are great literature that will last through the ages, but if you haven't read them and you're looking for an easy read that leaves you feeling like the world isn't such a terrible place after all, these are a great place to start. :thumbsups:thumbsups
 
LOL!!! I love your review, I might put it in my to read list, I have never read anything from her.

Ha! I was an English teacher in my pre-child days, and it still feels weird to read something that isn't "literature," beloved by the YA crowd, or that I'm teaching. I feel like I am cheating on my brain a little since they are so fluffy and predictable, but I really love them. I'm sure my brain will forgive me. Maybe. :giggle
 
I'm prety sure I've read and own everything Nora Roberts has written since 1995.... including the books she writes as JD Robb. No, they aren't literature, but they are fun. I also really liked the series she did before the Inn Boonsboro serious about girls who put on weddings. There are couple of the trilogies I didn't like but for the most part, she's my favorite author. I also like her stand alone novels. And the JD Robb stuff I didn't think I'd like because I'm not a sci fi girl, but I really enjoy them, too.
 
All her trilogies are fab, but you will see her formula pretty quickly. Her stand alone books are a bit more "meaty" for a better word.

"meaty" as in MAN MEAT :whip or as in more profound?
 
It's The Bride Quartet.

I also like:
The Sign of the Seven
Chesapeake Bay Saga (this is a trilogy and then there's a follow-up book that was written a few years later)
Gallaghers of Ardmore

Those are probably my favorites of the trilogies. For stand-alones, I like The Witness, Birthright, Black Hills. I actually pretty much like all of those except I think there was one set in New Orleans that I just could not get into.

Yes, it's forumulaic but I really enjoy escaping into them for a few hours. I'm not one to read literature. Besides Nora Roberts, I tend to read mystery/thrillers.
 
I like the quick escape, but it's not my usual. I'm 3/4's of the way through the third one, and I just started it last night. Reading her novels could get expensive, quickly!
 
LOL to Man Meaty! :) I've been known to read a good Nora Roberts book here and there when I have just finished a book or series that made me think a little too much. They're good fast reads and sometimes they are exactly what I need. :) I read a trilogy of hers about 10 years ago the was something like Heart of the Sea, Jewel of the Sea and something else of the Sea and I remember really enjoying those.
 
I have all in portuguese and then I can finish all of
Becca Fitzpatrick and Cassandra Clare,and I can get different adventures, these are consuming me since december ...
 
All thanks to this thread that got me started on the Inn Boonsboro triology. And that lead to The Bride Quartet series.

I love her books. I think I have a few of her trilogies/series ... "hidden" somewhere on my bookshelf. :P Sometimes I will reread them just to escape from reality.
