J.D. Robb discussion

We will soon be finished with our current series group read so it’s time to select another.

Nominations are now open to recommend a series. It should be from the Mystery/Suspense/Thriller genre or any one of its many sub genres. We will read one book a month and the series should have five or more books, including novellas.

We will continue our monthly group reads separately from this group series read. This may also be an opportunity to continue some of the series we started through the monthly group reads.

Please include the series and author names with your nomination. Links to the series are helpful but optional. Each member may recommend up to three series.

Nominations will close at midnight EST on October 15 and we will open the voting on October 16. Depending on the number of nominations, we may have more than one round of voting.

Here’s the link to the previous list of nominations for your reference:

so true, Anita! I would love to do a re-read of these.

YES! I second this! It is a great series.

I’d reread Troubleshooters, too, this time on audio. It’s been a long time.

I'd do audio this time too. I rarely reread, but I had always planned to reread these books at some time.

I'll nominate the Rockton series (AKA: Casey Duncan) by Kelley Armstrong. There are currently six books in the series with a new book coming out early next year.

I've listened to the audio - and will again. It's very good.

Any more recommendations?

I like a lot of the series mentioned. I'll follow where ever the group goes.

There are a lot of really good series recommended here...I see my pick already so won’t add any others to the mix!

With so many selections already I'll save mine for next time.

Jo Ann, right now there are ten. Go ahead and add yours.

Alrighty then, here's my nomination:

D.I. Callanach series by Helen Fields



A seventh book is due out in 2022

Author describes her main characters in a recent tweet:
Luc Callanach- gorgeous but broken French detective
DCI Ava Turner- kickass but closed off
DS Lively- never knowingly not a smartass
Sup't Overbeck- awful but irresistible
Dr Connie Woolwine- profiler, blunt.
Quinn - sweet, kind, wronged.

Thanks, Jo Ann!

Carolyn Arnold Detective Amanda Steele series 4 books

How about Sisterhood series by Fern Michael. It is a 33 books

Oh, I forgot the first book is “Weekend Warriors”

Thanks, Cookie! I’ve added it.

Nominations are now closed and it’s time to vote for our next series! The poll closes on October 26.

Please only vote if you plan to participate in the discussions for the series you select.

I’ve a proposition for the group!

The winner of our next series group read is Troubleshooters by Suzanne Brockmann. The runners up are the three series by Melinda Leigh, Scarlet Falls/Morgan Dane/Bree Taggert. I propose we do both as I’ve read the first two of the Melinda Leigh series and have already developed the discussion questions for another group. I can set up separate discussions for the JDR group members.

I further propose that the third runner up, Fatal, be our next series when we finish these two.

Your thoughts?

I love it! Three great series to read & discuss?! Yes, please.

Yes, sounds good to me. Thanks Jonetta

I think that's a great idea, Jonetta! I've read 2 of the 3 already, but will likely do audio rereads for them...they're definitely good enough!

Sounds good to me! Great idea, Jonetta!
Will we do the Troubleshooters and Melinda Leigh series concurrently?

Yes.

Great, thanks!

Thanks Mods, great idea.

Lisa, we were thinking of you.

Jonetta wrote: "Lisa, we were thinking of you."

Oh, that is so kind of you. Thank you. Hopefully some others will join in and enjoy the series and discussions too. 😊

Sounds like a great idea!

I've read both The Troubleshooters and Fatal series, and they are excellent, but I may not go back and read those again. I'm looking forward to the Melinda Leigh series.

Wonderful!

I think I own the Fatal series but didn't read them all. I'm all in with this plan. Thanks, Jonetta and friends!

That’s great, Charlene!

I love it. I started reading Troubleshooters series. I love it. I will enjoy discussing the books.

I read the first two series by Melinda Leigh. The group will be the push I need to start Bree Taggert.

I started the Fatal series years ago. I so want to finish it but I get sidetracked.

Sharon, this will give you time to plan for Fatal. I love that series. Fortunately, I kept up with the character lists even though I didn’t do questions.

I read the first Bree Taggert book and loved it.

I'm in on the Troubleshooters Series. It will be a reread, but I look forward to it. I've read all the Melinda Leigh books as they were published and the series's are great, but I will pass on that one. I will look forward to the Fatal Series. I've only read the first book there and I can wait to continue the series with the group. I love the group discussions.

Thanks, Anita!
