We're doing #romanceclass #RCFlexItFriday 💪today, and I'mma flex my babies, Erin and Ramon (and Pio). ❤ These three characters are in a book entitled #WaitingInTheWings, released in 2017.
.
.
Waiting in the Wings is about Erin, a single since birth stage actress in the Philippines, who is tired of getting romanced only on stage. She decides not to audition for her theatre company's new musical so she can explore the dating scene a bit. .
.
At around the same time she meets her college friend Ramon again when he joins the company as an in-house choreographer. She also meets Pio, a theatre actor who's crossed over to mainstream, while escaping an uncomfortable situation at a bar. .
.
So...yes there's a bit of a love triangle thing going on here, but don't worry! It's a non-toxic love triangle (I've been told), and you will end up liking/loving both Ramon and Pio anyway. ❤ (But you're not required to pick a team, just saying.) ☺️
.
.
You may purchase Waiting in the Wings on Amazon (bit.ly/WITWNovel) and other platforms like Apple Books, Kobo, B&N, Overdrive, and Scribd. For paperback orders, go to tarafrejas.com/orderform (PH only!)

#ReadIn2020 📚 Act Like It by Lucy Parker. London stage actress Lainie Graham doesn't fancy fellow actor Richard Troy much (even though he's easy on the eyes and all that), and she's not looking to be in a relationship either after her last one failed miserably. But in the interest of boosting Richard's image, their theatre's PR manager wants them to act like lovers off stage. And when they dangle a huge amount of money in front of her (100% for the charity she's supporting), she has no choice but to say yes.
.
.
I have a weird reading relationship with this book, in that I read parts of it on my Kindle app and parts of it I listened to on Scribd. 😄 I loved the banter between Lainie and Richard and I found myself waiting for the walls they've put up to come crashing down so they would ~see each other for the vulnerable, lovable people they are. I loved it when that happened. Lainie's headstrong way of dealing with their fallout was GOALS, and that dramatic denouement was nothing short of what I expected from a book that featured theatre actors. ❤ Enjoyed this. Can't wait to burn through Lucy's other books in this series.

Some snaps from our last visit at Ili-Likha Artists Village, one of my favorite places in Baguio City. ❤ I enjoyed hanging out at Maeve, which had a small mezzanine that made me feel like I was chilling inside a kitschy treehouse. Love. I hope we get to catch a screening in its small cinema when we return. 🎬📽🎞 Read a bit more about this magical little place on my blog: tarafrejas.com. #WhenInBaguio #ililikhaartistvillage #ArtPH

When you don't know what to do with your body (and face) while someone takes your photo, just silly dance. Maybe something good will come out of it. Or something funny, at least. 😂 .
