shadowkat1. Good Reads is insanely addictive site. I spent hours last night rating books I'd read in various categories via Facebook. And I entertain myself at work reading the book reviews (although I should probably pick work safe books not erotica books to read book reviews on).
2. How do you look up at someone through or beneath your lashes? Seems to be a common description in romance novels. "I looked up at him through my lashes."or rather "I looked at him from beneath my lashes." Sounds sexy, but impossible.
I keep trying to figure out how people do that. I have figured out how to raise or quirk one eyebrow, but you sort of have twist your face a bit to accomplish it. But the whole looking up at someone through or from beneath my lashes bit is lost on me. Possibly would help if I had longer lashes?

Date: 2012-05-29 09:04 pm (UTC)A lot of writers do that..."her eyes looked at him from across the room",
"his eyes frosted at the sight of him." His eyes filled with an icy glare. Or her eye followed him as he walked across the room.
So what did her eye do, jump out of its socket and follow?
Apparently people feel it is repetitive or not descriptive enough to say, "he looked at him with a frosty glare." Or "they stared at each other from across the room." Certainly not as poetic.
