Pick For Me challenge
R, have you read The Hating Game? It seems like a lot of heroines are short, but with Lucy it was a definite part of her characterization.
Not yet! It's on my TBR and in one of these challenges we're doing. It's another one I've been on the fence about because I don't "typically" like romcoms, but I own a paperback. I think 5'6" is perfect, I just need to make sure I don't refer to her as short anywhere.

It is 5'4". That's why I said my height is perfectly average. :)
I just looked it up. 5'4" it is then!
I've read that 5"4' is average in the US.6'4" is really tall. Basketball height tall.
It's also JD's height and he was the inspiration for Darian so we're just going to have to be okay with this Fabi... :D
Lol. When I used average I was more or less thinking on a measurement line. If you lined up women from 5' to 6' I'd fall in the middle.
But for a shortish heoine, then yes 5'4 would be good.

This is cool:America: 166.2 pounds and 5 feet 4 inches
Brazil: 137.8 pounds and 5 feet 2.2 inches
Chile: 148.8 pounds and 5 feet 2 inches
Germany: 148.8 pounds and 5 feet 5 inches
South Korea: 124.6 pounds and 5 feet 2 inches
Sweden: 147 pounds and 5 feet 5.7 inches
The UK: 152.1 pounds and 5 feet 4.4 inches
OMG bev. I'm LOL'ing so hard right now. That's just math...
Who is JD? I'm telling S!!!
S is fully aware of his place, and come on...you aren't really going to make me say it again are you? It rhymes with Posh Buhmel.
*shakes head at Fabi* It's like you've never even stalked my Pinterest.
You have a Pinterest? :-oAnother one of those social media platforms that I don't have an account for.
LOL I know! Only for my book inspiration.
But you should be able to see it either way. It has houses/cars/cast etc. https://www.pinterest.com/robinhillwr...
I do see a lot of pictures but I'm not sure they're all yours. It's asking to log in. Bah! I can barely keep up with GR and Maryse's. I'd rather read a novel than spend all my free time surfing the Internet.
You'd know if they were mine. That's weird. I didn't think pinterest would ask for that. I'll email you a few of the pics to the chapter your up to.
Is Fabi your beta reader?
What if she wants to change the title?
What if she wants to change the title?
LOL There is no changing the title because it's a Doors song. That would be a deal breaker for me with a publisher. The cover...IDK, but the title? No way Jose. I had a group of betas for my first round. Fabi's the only one reading the edits. Fabi and my husband but he's only useful 50% of the time!
No worries. Robin had awesome titles and covers!!!
A writer friend of mine just got signed and they told her she would have to change her H's name and I would die. I've lived with Darian and Francesca for YEARS. I don't think I could do it!
btw Bev, I'm at 26% of Promises and loving it! Soooo much better than Strawberries.
Lol, I loved Strawberries.
It'd be funny if I then hated Promises.

That must be exciting for your friend.
Francesca always makes me think of that old show Sisters with Sela Ward.

I remember that show but I don't remember that name. It reminds me of my neighbors son's girlfriend, probably because she brings her up all the time.
IDK if my friend is excited. She's been self publishing for years and is so busy this just seemed like a good route for her. Everything is taken care of, but you lose a lot of control. They have input and final say on everything as well as price. When you see books by new writers that are higher, chances are they're signed.

WOW! They're making it look like an average American woman is obese at 166 pounds just by looking at the picture progression of countries....
GUYS, I FINISHED CONSEQUENCES.........MAD AND HATEFUL DOES NOT EVEN ADEQUATELY DESCRIBE MY FEELINGS!
Jean our feelings match, just reading different books. I think I will finish Thoughtless, but not the rest of the series.
I was wondering how you were liking Thoughtless....I liked that entire series....even Kiera eventually grew a set! haha!

Jean wrote: "GUYS, I FINISHED CONSEQUENCES.........MAD AND HATEFUL DOES NOT EVEN ADEQUATELY DESCRIBE MY FEELINGS!"You HAVE to continue on to the next books - it takes all three to get the whole story!!!

That would have been more convincing if you had yelled it at her!! But really, it is worth continuing...and maybe, just maybe, you can love him as much as many of us did!!
You've all convinced me...I will continue the series.....
Mod
PEER PRESSURE IS REAL PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AND!!!!!!!!! I'M NOT SURE IF I SHOULD THANK ANNA AND BEV OR THROTTLE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jean, I will suggest books between each though. I'm glad I read them as they came out, because it is insane. Also, if you need to vent, we're here. Tony makes me swear. A lot. And stab people. A lot. Especially people named Tony.
Did any of us win the giveaway on Maryse's blog.....or did one of the lurker hags win? LOL!
