Nora Roberts Groupies discussion

We successfully completed this challenge last year and I'm certain we're up to the challenge again of reading, as a group, 1,000 books by Nora by December 31, 2017.

Here's how the challenge tool works:

1. You can find the challenge here or on the group home page.
2. After selecting the challenge, complete the information requested, including the number of Nora/J. D. Robb books you plan to complete in 2017 (Jan-Dec). Where it asks for a shelf name, type in your profile name. Save the information.
3. Go to your shelf and edit "bookshelves." Type in "2017-nora" (without the quotes) and then select "Add." This will be the shelf you'll use to track your progress (more to come). If you'd prefer another shelf name, feel free to create your own.
4. Return to the group home page and select "update my entry" and add the shelf name EXACTLY as follows, including the hyphen and lower case: 2017-nora (If you created a different name, enter it here. Be sure to use lower case and the hyphen.)
5. Click "Save."
6. You've now entered the challenge!

Now, how do you track your series progress?
Whenever you finish listening to a Nora/J. D. Robb book, add that book to your 2017-nora shelf. It will automatically be included in the challenge results. You'll need to go back and add all your January reads to this shelf. (It also has to be in "read" status with a 2017 date completed.)

Books you may have started at the end of December 2016 but finished reading in January should be included in your totals.

We hope everyone will join!

I'm shooting for ten this year!

I will try for reading at least 10 Nora Roberts/JD Robb books.

Be sure to enter the challenge!

I read 14 last year, so looking to equal or better this year.

I'll try for my lucky number of 9.

I will shot for 7

I'm pledging 10 to start. Hopefully will end up changing that up to at least 25. Plan on really getting more into the In Death series.

Oh, if you start the In Death series and like it, you're gonna read more than 25:) Especially with how fast you read!

I finished 7 of the books last year. Ended up putting them on the back burner because I decided to focus on Mercy Thompson/Alpha & Omega first since it was fewer books.

I am reading 10 Nora's books this year

I'm reading 25 this year. Hope I set up shelf correctly ? I got a set of 5 books of group Calhoun sisters for Christmas to start the year.

Looks like you set things up perfectly!

Thanks, excited about this challenge.

I started with 15 and will most likely upgrade sometime later :-)

I started to read
1st Nora book this year ( 1 of 10 )

I started with five - one finished already

My goal is 5. I've identified them but haven't started yet.

I finished read my first of the year Nora's book I will read the next book in the macgregor series next

I read 16 last year and since I'm really getting into the ID series, I increased it to 24.

I am going to try and read 5 books this year since I only got to 1 last year.

{ 2 of 10 }

I read 20 last year. This year I'm only starting out with 5. I'll probably end up doing more but I'm trying to get through a ton of series first.

I just finished reading my second 2017-Nora book

I find this hard to believe but I've already read 5...

Wow!

Way to go Karen!

I can't believe I finished last night my 5th Nora Roberts book this year. It was only possible because I three of the In Death books from my online library were available at that time and I got myself the Time of Death novella-collection for Christmas since the novellas are not translated into German and my library can't get those (licence stuff).
The next in the series I was even able to get used from my local library and I hope to read it (and the next novella) in February - if I'm lucky enough perhaps I can even get the next one from the library soon after that :-)

Great job to all of you!
