In Death-Fest & Upcoming Blog Tours!

I have been on a major J.D. Robb-fest, trying to catch up on all the books I haven’t read so that I can get to my — SQUEEE — autographed copy of FROM NEW YORK TO DALLAS!! I’ve only got about 6 books to go and to be honest, I’m not sure I can wait that long. As it is, I’ve been reading them out of order due to time constraints and so I may just do the same with FROM NEW YORK TO DALLAS. Of course, I’m also tempted that once I do that, I’ll start reading the series all over again in order from book one which when reread rather recently was just as good as I remembered.

Anyway, that’s why today’s Thursday 13 is an In-Death Fest where I’m sharing the 13 characters and/or things that I love about the series in no particular order.

    1. Eve Dallas. Was there ever a more perfect heroine.
    2. Roarke. OMG. Can’t say much more. He melts my bones.
    3. Peabody. Love her as a sidekick. Just too awesome.
    4. McNab. His outfits are burned into my retinas.
    5. Feeney. Great father figure.
    6. Mira. As a substitute mom, she’s the best.
    7. The candy thief. I’m convinced it’s Roarke. There is a scene in CONSPIRACY IN DEATH where the candy bar disappears with only Roarke nearby and he chides her about eating better. In TREACHERY IN DEATH, Eve discovers her stash missing and Roarke admits just seconds later that he had broken into her office. Hmm. Too much coincidence for me.
    8. The love scenes. Soooo soooo hot and romantic.
    9. The murder cases. After an overload of crime-type stories on TV, it’s amazing that these are still interesting.
    10. The world of the NYPSD and Eve’s men and women. Little by little you’ve gotten to know each one and have seen them grow.
    11. NYC in the future with its glide carts and soy dogs. So can related to my favoritest city.
    12. Mavis. What an interesting and outrageous best friend.
    13. Eve’s fear of anything feminine. I can so relate.

Hope you enjoyed today’s Thursday 13. If you’re familiar with the IN DEATH series, please add your own favorite moments.

  1. My goodness you sure have been having quite a few SQUEEEE moments lately. Congrats on the signed book!!! I can’t wait for all of the Oct fun!

  2. I too love the In Death series and I won’t give any clues except that this book was good; I’ve also just read her novella Unquiet that came out this week.

  3. Take it from me, while Caridad might say she isn’t very feminine, she really is a girl…one with a particularly vivid, sometimes gory imagination, but she’s a real girl. I also happen to know she owns something pink…hidden in the back of her closet.
    JD Robb has a way of creating the coolest characters, but Caridad can do that, too. Can’t wait to read the new stories!

  4. Oh I love that series! I have been slowly getting ones I have missed… I too have been reading them out of order, but they are all great! Still missing about 10 of them though…

  5. Looks like I need to add the Death Series to my list of must reads. It was just last year I picked up my first J D Robb book.I wasn’t crazy about Nora Roberts but wanted to see what all the fuss was about.
    I read the Blood Brothers-Sign of Seven Trilogy back to back in only a matter of days. I guess that makes me a fan.
    Happy T13!
