Thank you to @books.andlucy for tagging me in the #thisorthatbookwormchallenge ☕️ Paperback or hardcover? I’m team paperback! I will get a hardcover only if I find the design prettier (yes, I’m judging books by their cover) ☕️Series or standalone? I prefer standalone books but I’ll definitely fall for a good saga. ☕️Indoors or outdoors? I really like reading outdoors, I find I concentrate a lot more than when I’m home. ☕️Books that make you cry or laugh? If I hear someone say “this book crushed my soul and ripped my hear out” you bet it’s gonna go on my amazon cart. ☕️Hero or Villain? Villain all the way. I love a good hero, but I find stories told from the point of view of the villain a lot more interesting. But tbh, I prefer characters that are a little bit of both. . Please feel free to do the challenge, I had a lot of fun. . #bookstagram #instabook #bookphotography #bookporn #igbooks #ilovereading #bookhaul #bookhoarder #bookaddiction #bookstoread #whattoread #fortheloveofbooks #bookblogging #bookpics #weekendreads #bookrecs #booknerdproblems #bookpictures #bookstagram #amreading #booksbooksbooks #instablog #booknerds #bookphotos #bibliophile #bookworm #booksandcoffee #bookishgirl #potd #tag (at Madrid, Spain) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnE3aSFtYVK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

📚What books are you hoping to finish before the month ends? Happy Sunday, Bookworms … Have you enjoyed any reading time over the weekend? I … have not. I always plan to catch up on my reading over the weekend, but something always happens, and I rarely actually get to. 😅 How’s your weekend going? And, there are only 5 more days left in June. Are there any books that you’re hoping to finish before the month ends? I have a stack of books I’m currently in the middle of reading, so if I could finish ANY of them, that would be fantastic. 🤣 If only I could focus long enough to read. I really have the attention span of a gnat lately. 😅 What books are you hoping to finish before the month ends? 🌈 ☀️ 🌈 ☀️🌈 ☀️ #AlltheBooksJun22 #MyFictionalMusings #CourtofReadingJune22 #ReadingintheWeb ☀️ 🌈 ☀️ 🌈 ☀️ 🌈 #cozyreading #weekendreading #weekendreads #weekendvibes #shelfiesunday #bookshelf #bookshelfie #shelfie #mylibrary #librariesofinstagram #cozyvibes #bookcollection #bookstagram #books #read #yabooks #romancebooks #fantasybooks #bookstack #ilovebooks #bookobsessed #bookdragon #booklover #allthebooks #summerreading #bookcommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CfQ9NMiOl3g/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So I know RPF is controversial and not everyone’s cup of tea (or coffee ☕️ in this case 😉), but I was super inspired to write this piece and hope I did early 90s Gary justice. I love this man for the amazing actor he is but also his good and bad points, and that’s what I tried to capture in this fic, while still keeping it sexy of course. If you love Gary or enjoy actor RPF, I’d be honored if you’d check it out and leave it some love! Not sure I’ll do any more RPFs, but this little plot bunny wouldn’t die, so I had to give it some life. ⚰️ 🩸 🦇

EXCERPT below links…

"An erotic movie about a guy in a coffin?"

He frowned. "Yes. His sleeps in the coffin give him the strength to find her. When he rests in the soil of his homeland he emerges youthful... sexy... powerful..."

His eyes were fixed on your face as those confounding lips disappeared behind white ceramic again.

“Sounds like an interesting guy to play," you commented, and he nodded in agreement.

“He is. It's heartbreaking really... the man loses his true love to a deception... then he comes back as pure evil having to seduce one of the 'true lights' in the world... his love reincarnated. I get to play him all sensuous and seductive of course, but in reality he's tragic. I suppose sex is sort of tragic like that in a way, right? Giving yourself to someone, dying a 'little death' inside of them, as the French say... la petite mort... But you're not really sure if they've really given themselves to you. Or if they did, then you're united in a way, but only for a second. Is it enough?"

His eyes seemed to cloud at that moment, and you weren't sure if it was method-acting immersion into his character's tragedy or real emotion being brought to the surface by some life trouble. You suspected the latter. Of course he'd be messy... a guy as beautiful as that had to be. You'd think that would be enough to send yourself running for the Hollywood Hills, but of course it wasn't.

"I truly love characters," you began quietly. "Sometimes more than my own friends and family, I'm afraid. I love their mystery, their depth, their possibility. I love that unlike a real person, they're just there... behaviors, motives, pasts... all right there on the table to plunge into and explore. I love when their behavior makes sense, and when I as a writer can make it make sense. It's very empowering."

“I agree," Gary said vehemently. "Except you're wrong about one thing... they are real. They exist out there somewhere, and it's my job to harness them and give them a body. Like it's your job to harness them and give them words."

And that was that. You were a goner. The most perfect specimen of a man on earth— 6' 2", rippling muscles, chiseled jaw, hair of the gods— could come walking through the door of the coffee shop right now, and you wouldn't give him a second glance because Gary Oldman sat before you and just reeled your heart in like a limp fish…

NIGHTJAR The war between two kingdoms ends only for the battle between their two greatest warriors to begin. Honor and Love fight to dominate each other, and we do not know which one will end up on top as these two alpha males war for supremacy. https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/832480

THE POMPEIIAN HORSE

Two men re-encounter ten years after Fate put the life of one in the hands of the other. Now they are older and wiser, but that doesn’t mean they can be together. Life in Ancient Rome is not easy, especially in Pompeii and if you are on opposite ends of the social ladder. Roman Centurion and ex-gladiator will fight: to accept their love, to save their lives, to have a future together. https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/644214

I am 50% into my first read of Disappearing Acts by Terry McMillan and immediately from the first page I had to annotate. So far, this book has me talking back more than I usually do in response and reactions to the characters. As individuals they are complex and together they are even more complicated. Further into my reading, my mind continues to wonder in frustration. - Why are they still dealing with each other? - How does someone work through their emotions in relation to their partners decisions and behavior when those actions consistently impact them both negatively? - After more valleys than peaks, and so many red flags, when does someone finally say they must put themselves first and remove themselves from a relationship? These characters continuously say they love each other and although there are actions to back it up, their inner thoughts expose that it’s more performative than them trying to actually make those actions of ‘love’ a habit. I say all that to say, this weekend read is putting me through it (lol). Frankie and Zora. Father God, Jesus of Nazareth, help them Lord, because this ain’t it #IYKYK My question to you all is, would you give someone a chance to enter your life solely based on the principle of the potential of what the person can be? I’m aware that most of us do end up in relationships (romantic and platonic) and we more often than not start with seeing the potential in someone adding to our lives. When does potential in relationships turn into a liability for you?
