We aren't going to bury the lead. Over four decades in, and Nora is BRINGING it with Identity (2024). We have a hardworking heroine, a grumpy leading man, and a truly scary serial killer. This is a new read for both of us, and we are ready to rave!
Harry, Booth, Silas, oh my! Nora is bringing us a new epic with a charming thief and a touch of fate. Are we sensing some 90s Nora vibes?! We are discussing Nightwork (2022)!
Another trilogy coming to an end, and Nora went in a direction we weren't expecting! After all of these years, she can still surprise us. It is time to wrap things up with The Choice (2022)!
Continuing on with the Dragon Heart Trilogy! And...we have some big opinions on this one. Nora is expanding the world and upping the stakes. Listen in as we discuss The Becoming (2021)!

I am a new listener and heard the first crossover episode of Romancing the Shelf with Podcast in Death. It’s been so fun listening to such good friends talk about Nora. You guys are adorable!
i dubbed myself as nora's youngest fan a couple years ago and am sooo excited to go through this podcast and see how my thoughts align with other nora fans. there aren't enough of us out there and i am SO EXCITED.
Emily and Heidi are re-reading and analyzing every Nora Roberts book. They highlight and appreciate Nora’s strengths, critique when necessary and generally just recap every book. I love their friendship, and I think we could be friends irl too. 🥹
I am a massive Nora Roberts fan. She was weirdly instrumental in my love for reading and also in helping me get through my awkward teen years.
This podcast reminds me of the fun of reading a new Nora book and also wishing I had someone to chat about it with.
I highly recommend this podcast for Nora fans or just romance fans in general.
I love the dedication. My OCD is forcing me to go back and read all the early Nora Roberts books that I skipped because they were too rapey and predictable. Worth it though to listen to Emily and Heidi’s takes on all her books and of course the later ones are so much better. Thanks for doing this
