After 6.5 years, we have caught up to Nora! In this episode we are looking all the way back and analyzing the entire Nora canon. What defines each Nora Era? What are the most infamous titles? Also, we created a tier ranking for all the books! Please listen in as we definitely want your thoughts on this one!

We cannot believe it, but we have reached Nora's most recent release: Final Target (2026)! We have been reading through the entire Nora cannon over the last 6+ years, and this moment is a bit surreal. If you are new, please be alert that this discussion will have spoilers. We talk about it all! So with that, thank you listening to Romancing the Shelf. (Can you tell we are a bit emotional in this moment?)

It is time to wrap up The Lost Brides trilogy! The Seven Rings (2025) was very different than we expected. Is Nora trying something new? Are we entering a new era of Nora? Listen to hear all of our thoughts!

We are continuing on with Nora's most recent trilogy and we have ...thoughts. The Mirror (2024) picks up right where The Inheritance left off, and we have SO MANY questions. But does this book have any answers? Come listen in, as we aren't holding back.

How can it be that we have caught up to Nora's most recent trilogy?? We were very excited to jump into this one. Old mansions, dead brides, and Maine views? We are there! Listen in as we discuss the first in The Lost Brides Trilogy: The Inheritance (2023).

Eve has got her work cut out for her on this one with an arrogant, copycat serial killer and the only clue is a piece of stationary?? You may want to get out a notepad as we try to keep these suspects straight during this discussion of Imitation In Death (2003).

Are you ready for some Roarke lore?? We are! We are coming back to In Death, and Eve has A LOT going on. Having to manage the home front on top of solving murders is tough! Join us as we discuss Portrait In Death (2003).

This book has one of our most...interesting Nora couples, and we aren't talking about our heroes! These villains are adding new levels to creepy, but our MC is on the case! We can't believe we've caught up to Nora's most recent standalone, Hidden Nature (2025).

Over 200 books in, and Nora is still taking us by surprise! The tropes are new and the villain is unlike another, but it still has those Nora elements that we know and love. We can't believe it, but we are discussing Mind Games (2024)!

If you've been sleeping on our movie watch episodes, PLEASE don't skip this one. We are discussing Nora's first two movie adaptations, and it was such a fun, crazy ride. Listen in as we break down the movies Magic Moments (1989) and Sanctuary (2001).

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)!

A new trilogy! This is a completely fresh read for Emily, and Heidi has only read the first one. Nora is bringing all the magic in this one: dragons, fairies, witches, and big bad grand-dad god. We are giving you all of our thoughts of The Awakening (2020).
