Karisa
Naked in Death | J D Robb
post image
Pickpick

Never thought I‘d read and enjoy a Nora Robert‘s book, so thank you @Soubhiville and #AuthorAMonth! Had no idea she writes Sci-fi thrillers under a different name either. This one is action-packed and enjoyable brain candy featuring a tough detective with a complicated past of her own which is just what I needed this busy month.

Written in the 1990s but set in the 2050s, it was interesting to see her take on the future (she played it safe). 😊

Soubhiville I was so glad to find she wrote more than just romances! 21h
Karisa @Soubhiville I would‘ve had no idea that she was also JD Robb but for your post! Otherwise I probably would‘ve skipped this month. Thank you! 😊 18h

Just posting a quick hi to Litsy members. 🙋‍♀️ I joined here after looking for a laid-back and fun reading platform. Knowing most reading challenges begin with the New Year, December seemed like a good month to start.

About me: I volunteer at an animal shelter and only work part-time. My reading preferences vary depending on my interests or mood but I often seek out nonfiction, classics, fantasy or HF books. I also enjoy music and hiking.

Dilara Hello and welcome to Litsy! 💐 😃 4d

TieDyeDude Welcome! Here is a link with some tips for Litsy. It's kinda old, but most of the information is still relevant: https://raimeygallant.com/2017/10/31/litsytips/
The app is more or less defuncted now. Some of the accounts listed on the page aren't active, but @LitsyEvents is a good one to follow. ✌

I am a huge StoryGraph fan, as I know a lot of Litsy is. Are you? If so here is the link for the #AuthorAMonth StoryGraph challenge, which is a fun way to track your reading as well as seeing books other readers have chosen for each prompt. Enjoy!

(Let me know if you see any typos or have other problems with it please 🙂)

Who knew Nora Roberts wrote fantasy?

I admit to feeling reserved about the very mainstream authors who have entire shelves of their books at the library and I can expect to have to reshelve at least one or two of them every week during my volunteer shift. So I wasn‘t anticipating liking a NR book, and I was trepidatious when she was chosen for #AuthorAMonth.

I didn‘t mind this. It has some cliche fantasy moments, but a low pick for me. ⬇️

Soubhiville Will I read the rest of the trilogy? Doubtful. But I didn‘t bail, which was my expectation. So call it a win. It does end in a cliffhanger though. 1w

repost for @Soubhiville

It‘s time to update my #AuthorAMonth tag list for next year. This helps me clear out folks who are no longer interested and add new people who are. I am making an entirely new list, all you need to do to be on it is comment below.

What is #AuthorAMonth? It‘s a reading challenge in which we attempt to read at least one book from a particular author each month. The list of authors was nominated and elected by Litsy readers.

Soubhiville Thanks for sharing! 1w

Soubhiville It‘s a no pressure challenge, I just post a couple times about the chosen author each month. At the end of the year there are a few prizes- Most Read, the Every Month Club, and a random draw from everyone who read at least one author. Your reading is tracked in a Google form if you so choose. ⬇️ 1w
Soubhiville So just comment if you‘re interested. For the rest of the year I will tag with both this year‘s and next years list, and starting January 1 I will tag only the 2026 list. Happy Reading! ⬇️ 1w
Soubhiville If you click on this book title and scroll back, you will find both this year‘s reading list and next year‘s reading list. 1w
