Nora Roberts question

Hi Kharisma -- if you have a Half Price Bookstore near you, check there. I just sold an extra set of mine back to them, and they always have TONS of her books, usually multiple copies of each.

It shouldn't be too hard to find them, and they're not out of print yet. Amazon has them available to order if you can't find 'em locally.

I'm sure you'll find them soon, and I'd be willing to bet that you're going to enjoy them when you read them!! Keep us updated on your search, (sorry, I have no advice on where to look, unless your library has a used book sale rack) and let us know what you think when you read them.

I LOVE that series!! When I first started reading them, my husband actually asked me to read them aloud to him (just something we do from time to time) and he got so engrossed in the story that when I had to stop, he picked up the book and started reading it. To top it off, I'm not the only one who can't remember how many times I've read the series, he's read it over and over, too!

I think you'll enjoy it, and I really hope you do!

I just read my first few Nora Roberts, on the advice of this forum, and I am very impressed. I love the sex scenes (although, there's so many of them ... can even that get a bit wearing?), I love her dialogue (which is what I was told to look out for); I love her characterisation of even the smaller characters; the stories are good too.
Oh, but dear God, the head-hopping.
It's a testament to how much I liked the rest that I perservered with these books despite the head-hopping.

Well, Nora started writing when it was okay to head-hop. (Omniscient POV is more like it.) Her older books are of course going to reflect that. She has "cleaned up" her POV in her newer books. She always said she never, ever got flack for it from readers, only from other writers.

It's a testiment to her story-telling ability that it doesn't matter. <G> She's a master story-teller. It's all about the story. (When I say story, I include the characters in that, because to me, character IS story. <G>)

Although I will say that my parents, who are huge readers and big fans of Nora's stuff, say they weren't all that taken in by her new Vampyre (that's how Nora spells it, I believe) book. I haven't gotten my hands on it yet, so I don't have an opinion of my own. My mom said it really took a while to get into it -- and she was willing to give it longer than she normally would because it WAS Nora. And Nora delivers. Mom said it did get there, and she will read the next two in the trilogy. I wondered if my folks didn't like it because it's a bit of a departure from her "normal" stuff. And while they've read and loved the other novels Nora's done with paranormal elements, like the 3 Sisters, or The Key series (I think the Key series might be my favorite Nora trilogy, just because they spoke to me on a personal level about writing and magic. <G>), I think this new set might be a little bit beyond my folks' "normal" paranormal comfort level. (i.e. My folks don't normally read vampire books, or horror, or werewolfs, etc. They read most everything else, though.)

Personally, I can't wait to read it myself and see what *I* think about it. I think she's an incredibly talented, hard-working, and gracious woman.

I did manage to pick up the newest Nora Robert's book, the one Susan mentioned. It's called Morgan's....something. lol I can't remember right now. It is very different than what we are use to from her. I have actually only read teh first 80 pages and have decided to put it on hold. I started something else. I will go back and read it but I have to be in the mood and right now my mood is romance.

cheerio

Ohhhh...see, that's a similiar reaction that both my parents had. Mom almost gave up on it but kept reading. Dad asked Mom if it was worth continuing (he was also about to set it aside) and she said yes. I don't think Dad's all that enthusiastic about reading the rest of them. Mom will.

Interesting.
