My birth name is Elizabeth, but I'm a guy. Gabe. My parents think I've gone crazy, and the rest of the world is happy to agree, but I know I'm right. I've been a boy my whole life. I wish I'd been born a vampire or a werewolf instead, or with a big red clown nose permanently stuck to my face, because that stuff would be easy. Having a brain that doesn't agree with your body is a much bigger pain in the ass.

If radio is the medium of the ugly person, then I can live my life as a voice and the world will be perfect.
But the dead air has got to go.
Tick.
Tick.
Tick.
Tick.
While I fumble with the next CD, I attack the airwaves. "And that's Mika, with 'Grace Kelly.' Now let's have some Green Day. Here's 'American Idiot.' This is Beautiful Music for Ugly Children, on community radio 90.3, KZUK. Welcome to my show."

'The Body' - 4.0 stars ...

If you've seen the iconic classic flick, 'Stand by Me', it's really not necessary to read this short story on which the film was based. The film is pretty much an exact reproduction. If you are one of the few that have not seen the movie, the story is an excellent time period (1960) coming-of-age tale.

The beam highlights a face that was not there before the lights went out. Chan lets out a scream that can only be described as “Cheerleader Number Two Gets Murdered.” Then the electricity clicks back on. Everybody stares at the stranger sitting in the chair next to mine. They don’t seem to know who he is, but I do. I’ve seen him before… in my dreams. It’s the man who calls himself Death.

LOVE this series!

'Apt Pupil' ... 5.0 stars

Simply a brilliant,
though heart-chilling,
story! 😲😲😲😲😲

FINALLY ... gettin' interesting! 😃

Only took 3/4 of the book to get there! 🙄

LOVING "Apt Pupil"! 👍😁👍

When they broke, Ethan found himself gripping the sides of his face, savoring the sight of the young man’s slick and swollen lips.

“I could consume you, you know that?” Ethan whispered. “I could do things to your body that no man’s ever done before. That doesn’t scare you?”

“The only thing that scares me is that you’ll be too afraid to try,” Roman whispered back.

This series is going steadily downhill for me. 😒

“I don’t like that he flirted with two of our security guys to get access to a suite he never should have been let into. Am I going to have to manage Brandon and J.T. by flirting with them now too?”

Logan said, “No, because they know good and well any man at this hotel who flirts with you will end up with his voice box in my hand.”

“Hot,” Connor whispered with a twinkle in his eye, “but we’re at work.”

"Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption" - 3.75 stars

Roman leaned forward and kissed him gently on the back of his neck. A light peck, that was all.

He'd been laid bare by a fleeting act of tenderness; a single peck—especially when it came as a surprise—could be more devastatingly arousing than any crazy sex position, toy, or role-play fantasy. His fingers caressed the spot where he’d just kissed, covered in gooseflesh. “Not so cool now, are you, Ethan Blake?”

SO ... seems you get a limited number of listening hours per month with Spotify's "Free on Premium" audiobooks ... unless you wanna pay $12.99 for 10 more hours! Yeah ... uh ... that ain't gonna happen!🙄🤬😣 So this gets put on hold for a couple weeks 'til my next month kicks in. 😒 Well, I ain't really lovin' it, anyway. 🤷‍♂️ Lesson learned! 😉
