Well,

I had nothing to do but have sex and read books on my Kindle... so here a list of books I read during my unfortunate brush with: No. Fucking. Power. and No. Fucking. Internet.

Here are the books I read:

Conspiracy in Death by JD Robb (Futuristic Suspense)
Treachery in Death by JD Robb (Futuristic Suspense)
Indulgence in Death by JD Robb (Futuristic Suspense)
The Fire in Fiction by Donald Maass (non fiction)
Grey's Awakening by Cameron Dane (gay romance)
Reclaiming Love by VL McElfresh (gay romance)
Seducing Olivia by Anna Leigh Keaton and Madison Layle (bdsm het erotic romance)
Falke's Peak by Anna Leigh Keaton and Madison Layle (shifter erotic romance-menage)
Soren's Surrender by Anna Leigh Keaton (gay bdsm)
Comrades in Arms by Jackie Barbosa (gay historical menage - het sex)

Obviously, I had a hard on for JD Robb when I had no power.

I really enjoy the in Death novels. I have most of the older ones in paperback. This is actually the only series of books I have plans to collect also as ebooks. I can be obsessive that way.

j.d. Robb/Nora Roberts has said that she will never have Eve and CP have a child. I kind of wish to see more of them with kids, just because they are so funny around them. Also i totally want to live long enough to get a tube of Pepsi from a machine. One that spouts off the non-nutritional benefits of it.

I also want to live to long as to have a vending machine talk to me. As for children, I totally love the thing she has going on with Bella.

Actually what she said in a recent interview was that if they were to have kids she would stop writing the series. Which means that a pregnant Eve would be the last books? I agree that Roarke and Eve with kids are hilarious. And my violent impulses will come out and attack anything that keeps me from my caffiene the way the cop shop machine does with Eve.

Agreed I have them all in paper back and have started getting the new ones in ebook, but I'm going to do the same and buy the older ones in digital too... I even read Nora Roberts' romances now too the woman has drawn me in!!!

I agree on the 'In Death' series. They rock.

OK, I just totally downloaded a bazillion book samples, and it's all your fault!

JD Robb is one of my favourite authors, I think Treachery in Death is one of the best she's ever written.

Without a doubt, but the computer gaming one definitely had my geek heart pounding :D.

Is it weird to say that while I "like" Nora Roberts, I "adore" JD Robb?

I agree as well- the JD Robb's have a great bite to them that NR lacks.
My Grandma introduced me to JD Robb and told me that while she loved JD Robb she couldn't stand Nora Roberts. When I repeated this to a book seller I was told that I had a rather unusual Grandma as it was usually the other way around.

When I want banter and edge, I go JD Robb. But sometimes I like a simple well written story with good characters. Even then, I am careful about which Nora I pick up. Some are better than others.

By the way, how was her most recent? Treachery? Really amazing?

It took a long time for me to even begin to accept it. Even now, occassionally I'll pick up a sample or a Roberts book, read it/look through it and put it down in disgust. I just don't understand why the two are so different.

I write a lot of different stuff, but I don't think I have that dichotomy when it comes to writing.

Keira, I don't want to hijack your comment section, but do you know if H50 has a story finder community? I read a sherlock/H50 crossover and forgot to book mark it. It was something like John goes to Hawaii alone on vacation, but Sherlock follows. John knows the military guy from Afghanistan.

Any pointing in the right direction would be helpful. Please don't beat me in a bad way.

Pelekane???

Yes, thank you. I've been searching for this for a week or so, and my google fu just wasn't up to snuff.

Thanks. I'm definitely going to be adding that to my faves list.

I adore JD Robb. I buy each new In Death as soon as it comes out - that said, you once released a new installment of something just when my order of the new In Death book came in at the lone bookstore in this town - and I wound up reading yours first.

JD Robb is one of my favorite authors. I read her books over and over. My favorite book in the series so far is Purity in Death. The scene where McNabb comes into the kitchen on his own two feet gets me teary every time I read it.

Ya know...you remind me a lot of Eve. Wonder why I didn't think of that before? All in a good way, of course.

Stalkers, do you agree? :-)

Eve Dallas and Keira Marcos both have plenty of spine and virtually zero crap tolerance, but Eve strikes me as being a lot more emotionally constipated.

Was just reading this article "Mathematician who refused $1 million prize finally explains why." http://blastr.com/2011/05/mathematician-finally-exp.php and this line leaped out at me:

"I know how to control the universe. Tell me, why would I need to chase a million [dollars]?"

I may be functionally addicted to JD Robb myself. :) The In Death series has had far more hits than misses for me, and the only miss was the book where I knew whodunnit pretty much as it was happening. No clue whydunnit, of course, but knowing who did suck some of the fun out.

I'm going to wander over to amazon.com now. I hear gay porn calling.
