I thought you blogged only with Karen. I haven't had time to snoop around, but I will!

I found your comment in my spam box. Shame on blogger! <br />I'd like to link up your February book review here if you don't mind, since I skipped a post last month. I think Survivor is my favorite book so far and Naked has a special place, of course. Someday I'll be in the mode to re-read some of the earlier books. YES! Ms. Roberts/Robb does excellent work writing emotional devastation in a very natural and relatable way. <br /><br />Joy .. Tender is a great descriptor of Promises! So you're almost caught up in this series! Thumbs up. ;) <br /><br />nath ... I think the books in which the crime crosses into the personal aspects of this series are the best ones. <br />Interesting conjecture about the 'friends like family' feeling or lack thereof.

Glad you ...Promises in Death was a good one indeed! Glad you enjoyed it :) And it was nice, because it hit really close to home.<br /><br />Hmmm, as for your discussion question. Not really, at least, not now. I'm very close to my friends, but at most, they are best friends, not like family. I think part of it is because my extended family and my nuclear family are not close. So it's hard to tell. nathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626894830238717124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-55823602810775503742013-04-01T18:52:04.837-04:002013-04-01T18:52:04.837-04:00I remember that being an especially tender book in...I remember that being an especially tender book in this series.

I thought my review of Witness ...Well, dang it all. I thought <a href="http://herhandsmyhands.wordpress.com/2013/02/18/witness-in-death-by-j-d-robb/" rel="nofollow">my review</a> of <i>Witness in Death</i> happened in March, but I see now that it was posted in (the missing) February. grrr<br /><br />I re-read <i>Survivor</i> again, though (by far my favorite, though there are a couple more up there)<br /><br />I enjoy the family aspect of the books a lot, it's one of the major reasons I still enjoy them even when other aspects (such as repeating plot points or shaky continuity re: technology (see <i>Fantasy in Death</i>)) bug me. We can see that extended family and the tangle of friendships, and occasionally how baffled Eve is by them. And yet, more and more, how her first impulse is to protect those she loves.<br /><br />And who can not love Morris? I know I did cry more than a few times while reading <i>Promises</i> (and still do on re-reads). Ms Roberts/JD Robb can convey emotional devastation incredibly well, doesn't she?aztecladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14857872357667370906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-6209126838729031602013-03-31T22:52:42.586-04:002013-03-31T22:52:42.586-04:00I did!
