Favorite Book or Movie Quotes – #L&SR’s Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge

Welcome to #L&SR’s Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge August 19, 2020, favorite book or movie quotes (and why) !  Well now that’s interesting.  Please have a seat, grab an iced tea or lemonade out of the cooler. Be sure and try a chocolate chip or peanut butter cookie. 

Okay which one to  start with book quotes or movie quotes: Book Quotes:

 My friends and family are always asking me if I’m lost.  I’m not, just listening to the characters in my head play out the next chapter in my WIP.  LOL So naturally the quote, “Not all those who wander are lost.” 

The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkein

This poem was written about Aragorn, a humble human king who undertakes great journeys and explorations. It is used twice in ‘The Fellowship of the Ring’, once by Gandalf in a letter to Frodo and later by Bilbo, and is an attempt to persuade Frodo of Aragorn’s importance to Middle Earth. It is also an exhortation to the reader to see beyond his own value systems.

  This is one of my mantras. Goes with you can be anything you want to be as long as you are willing to work hard to get it. (Yep my mom said that. But also said writing was not a way to making a living.)     “It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be.”  

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, J.K. Rowling

Another book written for children but loved by adults. This is a comment made by Professor Albus Dumbledore to Cornelius Fudge. Cornelius has expressed the opinion that ‘Muggles’ and ‘Mudbloods’ (humans and half-humans) are inferior to wizards and witches. Albus responds by asserting that it is not pedigree that matters but talent.

“It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting”

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

My darling Eve.

Roark from JD Robb In Death Series.   Seems each time he says this either he is in trouble or she is and I have to laugh at the situation.

Movie Quotes:

“Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.” – Gone With the Wind, 1939 – Now admit it everyone loves this!

“Toto, I’ve got a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.” – The Wizard of Oz, 1939
Fun fact: As one of the most famous movie quotes in film history, this line has been parodied by many different movies and television shows.

“May the Force be with you.” – Star Wars, 1977 – I’m a huge Star Wars fan, so of course this is one of my favorites. LOL

“What we’ve got here is failure to communicate.” – Cool Hand Luke, 1967 – My hubby uses this all the time. When in fact, it’s really his failure to communicate. LOL

“I’ll be back.” – The Terminator, 1984 – I love this one.

“I feel the need – the need for speed!” – Top Gun, 1986 – Loved this movie and can’t wait for the new one in December 2020 (maybe)

A little about Charm Me Again

Two families long divided brought together through an adventure of a lifetime. Breaking the curse is only the first step to forever.

For several months a Scottish Highland Ghost has haunted Daylan, in his personal life, his professional life and at his forge. Yet, being a talented warlock, he is no closer to discovering what the ghost wants or why he chose Daylan. A trip to his estranged sister’s home in Colorado may have unforeseen consequences especially when family history leads him to a shocking discovery.

As his attraction blooms for Josie, a yoga instructor in his sister’s studio, he realizes there may be more to Josie than he can imagine. When an ancient rogue Fae Warrior set on revenge kidnaps her in an attempt to claim her as his own, a devastating curse comes to light.

Daylan’s world spirals out of control as he searches for Josie. Can he break the age old curse to save her and their future, or will she be lost to him forever?

Psst… Charm Me Again is on sale  for 99 cents for a limited time.  Don’t miss out! Download your copy today and join the adventure!

 

How CHARM ME AGAIN began:

For several months a Scottish Highland Ghost has haunted Daylan, in his personal life, his professional life and at his forge. Yet, being a talented warlock, he is no closer to discovering what the ghost wants or why he chose Daylan. A trip to his estranged sister’s home in Colorado may have unforeseen consequences especially when family history leads him to a shocking discovery.

As his attraction blooms for Josie, a yoga instructor in his sister’s studio, he realizes there may be more to Josie than he can imagine. When an ancient rogue Fae Warrior set on revenge kidnaps her in an attempt to claim her as his own, a devastating curse comes to light.

Daylan’s world spirals out of control as he searches for Josie. Can he break the age old curse to save her and their future, or will she be lost to him forever?

A peek between the pages of  CHARM ME AGAIN:

She padded over to the window and opened it a crack. The fresh air on her skin was cool. It relieved the smothering feeling that came over her the minute Daylan left the room. Taking a cleansing breath, she braced her hands against the window frame and took another deep calming breath.

Moonlight flooded inside with a light breeze. There it was again, that pull. Something was drawing her outside. Warning bells went off inside her head. Don’t do it. Don’t do it. Despite her fear, the desire to go outside was overwhelming.

The security alarm started counting down and she quickly closed the window. Shit. No way out. Unless…There is was again, she had to get outside.

The powerful urge had her pickup her backpack, slip out the window, skitter cross the roof to the corner of the building and shimmy down. It was like she had no control over her own movements. Her brain screamed for control—to no avail then she was sprinting to her vehicle in the parking lot. Carefully she opened the door, climbed in, started the engine and slowly pulled out of the parking lot onto the street and floored it.

Suddenly a cold clammy hand closed around her throat. Nails dug into her neck. “Take a right here. Pull into the driveway and stop. Don’t turn around.”

Finally, self-preservation took over. Releasing the steering wheel, she clawed at the hand closing off her oxygen, and opened her mouth to scream. Nothing came out. Then everything when black.

#L&SR’s Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge – My Favorite Tropes

Welcome to #L&SR’s Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge August 5, 2020 – My favorite tropes of Paranormal Romance and Cozy Mystery genre!  WOW, so many choices.  Please have a seat, grab an iced tea or lemonade out of the cooler. Be sure and try a chocolate chip or peanut butter cookie. 

My favorite tropes in Paranormal Romance, I want more than romance. I want a mystery, what makes the Hero and Heroine click? Is an outside source bringing them together?  Also want a little folklore sprinkled in.  Accidental Time Travel (Forgive my blatant promo – Mystic Maples) When Mercy discovers the truth, Silvanus’ well-ordered life unravels and they’re catapulted into the past to right a wrong.   Of course a happy ever after ending.  I know this isn’t exactly a troup, but it’s close. LOL

In Cozy Mystery, my favorite tropes are – Search for a hidden treasure of some kind. Travel to a land of enchantment to break a curse or find a missing person.  Time Travel with a purpose to solve a long time mystery. A good old fashion who done it. All must have a happy ever after ending.

Also, anything with robots, nanotech, or cyber security, I love these tropes! Did I mention I LOVE my Irobot Rumba (Bitti)? Bitti Vacuums my whole upstairs and schedule twice a week and tells me when she’s through. Gotta love tech.

So there you have it My favorite tropes of Paranormal Romance and Cozy Mystery genre.  How about you? Any favorite tropes of  Paranormal Romance or Cozy Mystery or maybe a different genre? 

Alas, I must return to my writing cave  where deadlines loom preparing promo on my upcoming release HIDDEN GYPSY MAGIC (Still waiting on cover art and release date). Chocolate Raspberry Magic is in pre-galley now release date been extended until April 2021. And working on a new WIP sixth book in A Demon’s Witch Series(very exciting and coming along very well) so let’s see what other authors chose as their favorite tropes in their genre.  L&SR
