I use to read those when I was a teenager.
lol I'm kind of addicted to books.... Well okay I'm seriously addicted. I have somewhere in the vicinity of 2000 ebooks and 500 paper and hard back books. Alot are romance but I have some of everything I think... except non-fiction. I have a problem.
If you have a problem then so do I. I'm an avid reader too but I don't read romance novels anymore. I was into murder mysteries for a long time but got burned out on that. Now I like sci-fi and supernatural ebooks. I have a bookcase full of paperback and hardbacks but with the Kindle and iPad I'll probably never read them.
The name doesn't sound familiar. I've read all of Coldwell's (can't remember her first name) books. They were pretty gruesome but excellent. I can't remember the names of the other murder mystery authors. As Rave says....CRS!
Edit: Ah ha, I remembered. Patricia Coldwell

Eh ya probably don't know J.D. Robb because it really is Nora Roberts, a very popular romance novelist, who writes under that pseudonym. A few of her novels have been adapted into movies... Like Sanctuary which starred Melissa Gilbert(Laura of The little House on the Prairie tv series)
I've read a couple of Nora Robert's books. It must have been before she went pseudo. They were ok but I don't remember anything about them. I only remember if I like a book or not. I can never remember the stories. CRS again.

That's why I reread all my books. Some I have had to tape back together.
I told you I had a problem.

Oh man, I hate to read a book I've already read. I don't know why because I don't remember the ending....I just don't do that.

I might try to get some of her books... I think I already do.... hmmm. This might take awhile to figure out.
I copy edited some of those books. In fact, the romance novels that are very explicit are familiar to me, since I worked on a lot of them, too. I didn't like them, either. Most of the books I got paid to read, I didn't like. I even worked on some westerns that were way too explicit.
I used to read lots of sci-fi. Let's see … some of the most memorable ones:
Stranger in a Strange Land - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Green Futures of Tycho - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Childhood's End - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Canticle for Leibowitz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alas, Babylon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There were lots more, but after all these years, I forget them. They'll probably come to me in the middle of the night. That's how my faulty memory usually works. Anyway, I recommend all of the above. Oh, yes … How could I forget Ray Bradbury? Especially Dandelion Wine, though I don't think that could be classified as true sci-fi.
Cool. Thanks for the sci-fi list. I don't think I've read any of those but then my memory......

I feel that way, too, though I can reread them sometimes years later when I'm a different person and see the whole story differently. I read books now that I read when I was very young, many, many years ago. Still, there are so many good things I haven't yet read, that I generally try to read something new.
This is one I recently read that my daughter highly recommended. It was good, and the ending was very thought-provoking. Life of Pi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
She, as both J.D. and Nora Roberts, is my all time favorite author. I have absolutely every single one of her books. I think it is extremely awesome that you got to copy edit some of her work.(I am kinda jealous
) You got to read them before they ever came out.
I have seen the movie and am actually about to read the book. Have you seen it yet?

For murder mysteries, I like the more complex ones that look into the criminal mind:
In Cold Blood - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Kiss Before Dying (novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Crime and Punishment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (This one is really memorable and one of those you won't be able to put down, even though you know whodunit.)
Again, I know there are more, it's just recalling them that's the challenge.
No, I haven't see the movie. I'm afraid, as so often happens, the movie will fall short of the book. The only one that didn't, IMHO, is The Black Stallion. The movie was even better, though I saw the movie in the '80s when it came out, and read the book many years before as a child.
That one sounds really good. I put it on my Amazon wish list along with a couple from your previous list.
