I am appalled at how behind I am. So here goes - a few catch-up reviews. Standard disclaimers apply - spoilers and such are rampant throughout. Books I highly recommend have links so you can get a better description of the plot

Hey, you read JDRobb too! I love that series. I haven't found the first few parts though, where Eve meets Roarke. I sincerely want to, I'm just having a hard time. I saw a set at Ebay (first four books) but I'm wary in buying fro Ebay.

Anyway, I'm just happy I found another JDRobb reader :)

oh man. JD Robb. There is so much awesome there that it's hard to even know where to start the flailing.

The first few books start out more as a romance novel and less as mysteries. Though - if you like romance novels, they're not that bad :D. I got my mum into reading them and she hates romance novels.

Have you checked amazon.com? They have a ton of used copies of her books for like 2 bucks each.

And nefernat is also a big JDRobb and Nora Roberts fan. Did you know the next book comes out on November 4th? We should have a discussion about it :D

I don't mind reading romance novels. I'm also a Judith McNaught fan (the historical books, at least).

Also, I want to read the first few because it gives the setting of what made Eve Eve and Roarke Roarke. And the other characters as well. I'm currently nearly done with Portrait In Death. I find the book really interesting (and I'm planning to make my own pinhole camera because of it, hehe) and also because it says a lot about Roarke's mam and history, and an implication (or silent admission) of Summerset's part in the killing of his da. So, yeah. :) I've been going out of my way, going to different places, just to find her first books. They're only available on books who sell used copies. Hehe.

Really happy to have met another reader. What's the title of the new book? :)

Random, but I totally love your icon.

[wook77]

I <3 last5 so much. I have a tonne of the icons.

[fiona_fawkes]

Oh hey, I know those icon makers. They're all from Hogwarts Elite.

LOL Laurell K Hamilton...my friend who introduced me to Anita Blake warned me that the first few books were good, but then after, I think, Cerulean Sins, it was all just porn. Now, for a college freshman, that's a brilliant thing, but I'm pretty sure I'll just stick with my first four and enjoy them (as well as my copy of part of the comic that was made from Guilty Pleasures...)

Yes, it is pure porn after Cerulean Sins. I agree with you, the first four are really brilliant and I remember the days of reading those in a day because they were so damn good.

and here's where I admit that I own all of the books save maybe one or two and am slowly making my way through The Harlequin

[wook77]

LOL. That is seriously the only reaction I can have.

They're not just pr0n, they're poorly written het that promises that it isn't a PWP but it really is. I stopped when I got so pissed that I threw the book. That lady really cannot write, whether pr0n or no.

oh gosh, I don't even have time to read real books anymore; I can't wait until school is over and I can curl up with a book in the evenings instead of homework or my laptop. (to be fair, part of the problem is that we're still staying with mom so after bedtime I can only have my laptop; if I cut the lights on in our bedroom it'll wake up my boys. but still!) I will definitely be checking your reviews to see what books you thought were worthy of reading when I make my to-read list. Or maybe when I make my Christmas wish list.

Also, I wrote an h/d ficlet and blamed it on you. It's posted on my lj. <3

:(

I read them at lunch and at various breaks at Fry's. If I didn't read, I think I would kill myself.

I read it, I just haven't commented cause I fail and suck like that. I really enjoyed it and I'm amazed that you were able to come up with that from my prompts :D but I'll leave a better comment over there --->.

[why_me_why_not]

I end up doing homework most of the time at lunch/breaks, or else I'm trying to return various phone calls and handle real life stuff. Blah.

lol, I fail at a lot, don't feel alone. And that's one of the reasons I like the vagueness of asking for three prompt words instead of actual prompts, it's a lot easier for me to come up with something b/c I have a lot of wiggle room. <3

[shygryf]

there are two babies!

of course it really makes no difference because the lulz are still there. theatrepooka made me read that series.

i still feel vaguely dirty from reading the books but not enough to stop reading them. Still reading the anita blake. I need to get quality literature. seriously!
