Pick for Me Challenge - July 2017

[Robin]

Yes. I have 5 days left on my current deadline and I'm not good under pressure. Plus the hubs is on his way home with a new boat, so I'm going to relax for a couple days and end my Xanax diet.

R, do you have a traditional publisher?

Hey, Jean what about At Peace? Joe definitely needs his girl (s). Or The Unidentified Readhead though ive not read that one. And maybe a series? Or make it easy and skip? I still havent caught up on one month.

[Robin]

No. I am way too much of a control freak. I won a contest in December and was asked to submit my MS to Entangled and I passed. I've just heard too many horror stories.

R!!! That is kind of amazing though! Seriously. Congratulations. They are having a super sale right now. Some pretty popular names like Tessa Bailey and Laura Kaye.

Thanks! I was all over it for a while but I've been with these characters for 3 years and I can't imagine having to change one of their names or not using my cover (which would have been a no-go for sure). They're one of the better ones, but I hear they're revamping right now and it's been a big mess over there. Established writers are probably fine. I think it's their new ones who are suffering.

[Jean]

Bev, At Peace is 660 pages!!! Ugh, too long for right now when I need to squeeze it in. And the Unidentified Redhead....a series! I need a standalone, short read.......see anything on my lists that would work? Anyone, any suggestions??

Robin, I am so excited for you and wish you the best of luck with everything! I can't wait to read your first book!!!!!!!

[Robin]

Thanks Jean! ❤❤❤

Somebody is picky. How about Where We Fell? I haven't read it but sounds like he needs his girl. I read her Puddle Jumping and really liked it.

[Leslie]

Jean, I think almost any romance could fit with Bev's theme. Right Bev?

I saw on your list. That was really good. Childhood crush on brother's best friend. He moves away becomes big celeb and she runs into him all these years later.

[[deleted user]]

Oh, i have rhat in my tbr too. Yep, would probably fit. Yes, many would. Except maybe extreme marmy. 😒

[Amy]

I just finished Where We Fell and liked it. It wasn't very marmy or angsty. It COULD have been, but wasn't. And it's short. And he definitely needs his girl in that one. I think it's a great fit for what you are looking for!

I did, and it was really good! Although I wish the Commandant would just die already. Grrrrrr...

OOH! And how about that twist of betrayal? I seriously did not see it coming from that character. When she said yes in the cellar, I was CRINGING. I was all, "don't do it...don't do it...dammit! WHY?!?"

[[deleted user]]

I know....but i like that it has high stakes even thoigh my romance lovers heart always wants a tied up with a pink bow.

I just realized I can't go back to the first page and post pairs. I usually create these discussion threads but Ela beat me to it this time.

Fabi, can you start a new thread? Just rename the heading?

[Ela]

Hey, Fabi, the links are copying over BUT I checked on Grey picking for me and that's Michelle's list not mine.

Actually they are all not the right links with that person.

[[deleted user]]

OK, sorry about that. I'm at work and had too many things going on at once.

I'll fix it and repost.
