Wednesday Reading Meme - catch up
Went for a walk with the dogs and Mum today for the first time in three weeks! Mum's knee starting to feel better was good timing - the dogs would have been going nuts otherwise, even if they are low-energy. I've been walking them by myself for most of the year, what with the stress fractures in Mum's foot, then her knee going out. But her foot is just fine now and the podiatrist says her knee should be entirely better by the end of the year.

Uh, these judgements are based on my Nora Roberts standards and preferences which may or may not relate to my standards for other books. I don't know, I've read and reread almost every NR/J.D. Robb book out there which is well over a hundred by now. They've kept me sane throught some very bad brain fog times.
Dark Witch (The Cousins O'Dwyer Trilogy, #1) by Nora Roberts
Shadow Spell (The Cousins O'Dwyer Trilogy, #2) by Nora Roberts
The Collector by Nora Roberts
Nora Roberts rereads -
Northern Lights
The Witness (one of only two NR heroes I utterly loathed. BOUNDARIES! RESPECT THEM!)
Morrigan's Cross (Fantasy is not NR's forte. It's okay as little bits of the book but not as the whole.)
The Search
Tribute
Black Hills
Midnight Bayou
Birthright
Vision in White (Bride Quartet #1)
Bed of Roses (Bride Quartet #2) (BOUNDARIES, EMMA!)
Savor The Moment (Bride Quartet #3)
Happy Ever After (Bride Quartet #4)
Key of Light (Key Trilogy #1)
Key of Knowledge (Key Trilogy #2)
Key of Valour (Key Trilogy #3)
