I love how Jess and Davin have to navigate the implications of fated mates together; they are a great match. There is wonderful adventure and the supporting cast are vibrant characters. I can't wait to read more of their stories. -M. Purcell on Amazon 🌶️📚 #alienromance #booksky

“Civilized invaders”. Well ain’t that an oxymoron. #booksky #readersky 📚🌶️

Passage from a book resting on someone’s lap.

“…who've followed her in there over the past few months, wanting nothing more than to tear apart any civilized invaders..."

But apparently, there was now one person in the world whom e
Count couldn't intimidate...
Which meant that Felix had just discovered exactly where to run.
He only had to find a way in.

Suspect the author might have a different interpretation. In the third image, this is a transcript of a video interview where he highlights a book cover of Lolita which sexualizes a young girl. In the fourth, he’s using a term from the book used against Lolita to refer to a real life girl.

“There are gentle souls who would pronounce Lolita meaningless because it does not teach them anything. I am neither a reader nor a writer of didactic fiction and, despite John Ray's assertion, Lolita has no moral in tow. For me a work of fiction exists only insofar as it affords me what I shall bluntly call aesthetic bliss, that is a sense of being somehow, somewhere, connected with other states of being where art (curiosity, tenderness, kindness, ecstasy) is the norm. There are not many such books. All the rest is either topical trash or what some call the Literature of Ideas, which very often is topical trash coming in huge blocks of plaster that are carefully transmitted from age to age until somebody comes along with a hammer and takes a good crack at Balzac, at Gorki, at Mann.” [6

[6] Vladimir Nabokov (1991) “The Annotated Lolita”, Ed. by Alfred Appel Jr., New York: Random House

NABOKOV: “I have here, err- some, not all, some of the editions of- of Lolita. One of my favorite ones is that's- that's a very pretty edition I find, you- you have a here, you see, err- that's a French edition. And you have here, other side! Delightful French- French edition. This is beautiful, that is, Dutch edition, isn't it nice? Beautifully done! Absolutely charming! Dutch.”

Here's a line Nabokov wrote about the first time he saw photographs of Sue Lyon, the girl who would go on to play ‘Lolita’ in Kubrick's film adaptation.”

NABOKOV: “My final meeting with Kubrick must have taken place on September 25, 1960, at his house in Beverly Hills: he showed me that day photographs of Sue Lyon, a demure nymphet of fourteen or so ..."

The answer to this riddle is supposed to be “the truth.” In what universe?! #booksky 🌶️📚

"I am a terror many try to hide.
I am a secret that no one will find.
1 am only used by the brave.
When issued properly, I will save.
1 am the source of everyone's strife.
If you wield me wrong, 1 will cut like a knife.
What am I?"
