101 Books Novels & Stories

The bouquet of flowers fell to the floor. Without so much as a glance in my direction, Drew Myers turned and walked out the door. We had been together for five years, and this was already the 100th time he had proposed to me. Everyone was convinced it would finally happen this time. The date had even been carefully chosen to coincide with my birthday. Our friends had been waiting patiently for two hours. However, he ended up arriving late because Tammy Fowler had insisted on watching a movie first.

The only difference that set us apart was the fact that I pursued him for five long years. I was just about to leave when I received a text message from Julian. "I'll be waiting for your 100th proposal tomorrow." I smiled faintly before blocking his number and deleting every last trace of him from my contacts. After bidding all my colleagues goodbye, I left the company with my suitcase in hand and headed straight for the airport. ... The next day, Julian kept his word and appeared at city hall in a sleek suit.

Maybe she needed to think of the vampires as a lost race, a lost people, a lost city. Caitlin returned to the librarian with a freshly printed list, and he looked down and frowned. “There are seventy-one books on this list,” he said forcefully. “You know the limit.” “I’ll take the first six,” Caitlin said. He sighed loudly, plainly annoyed. “It’s four-thirty, ma’am. The library closes in fifteen minutes.” He stood there, clearly not wanting to go to the stacks again for her. “Then go quickly,” she replied, not giving in.

He still wears his annoying perfect mask everyday. Today is his birthday. He called me into his study, just father and son. I thought he was going to be a little genuine about what happened in this family, as he pulled out an CD from the bookshelf and handed it to me. It is the same shelf that I found a notebook containing only the profiles of sexy women that he has been cheating on with, which he “considerately” disguised as a directory for the Huron scholarship awardees.

A pair of arms wrapped around me, and I instantly settled into the familiar embrace as both of us watched the sun set over our kingdom. I couldn’t help the squeal of delight that escaped my mouth. I had finally completed my book, 1001 Dark Tales. The look on my editor’s face was one of disbelief when I announced I was stopping all other books to focus solely on that one. I guess writing 1001 Dark Tales takes a long time, four years to be exact. Still, I had written enough books with the help of my quill that I had more than a steady income.

“Hold on, I need to find a suitable angle.” Peter chuckled. “Okay, since it will just take a few minutes.” A few minutes were nothing. Even if Thomas was given a few hours, he would not be able to complete the task. Look at how long a person needs to read a book that contains one million words? One hundred million words means one hundred books that contain one million words! We are talking about one hundred books! That was like finding a wrong word from one hundred books that contained one hundred million words in ten minutes.

A Dream House (Continuation) I sat on the beige colored tiled floor of the living room. And I looked around me, the ceilings are neatly painted white, while the walls are covered with medium toned brown wallpapers. I opened another box. From the box I pulled out lots of books, maybe fifty to seventy of them. The books come in different forms, big and small, thin and thick. Our book collection includes about twenty five of Mallory’s bedtime story books, a New King James bible version, a children’s bible, and there is one of my favorite books; Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life, also my favorite novels from Mitch Albom; Tuesday with Morrie and Five People You Meet in Heave

I say pushing my ear forward to show them my number. Caleb looks and then Lucas, “1001. Cool tattoo, Maddie, but this proves nothing.” Lucas says. Caleb shakes his head, “Check the others.” He tells Dr. Wayne. Dr. Wayne nods and walks out of the room and Lucas stares at Caleb, “You don’t actually believe her? Do you?”

He announced. I moved my hands closer to the green button. I am not going to leave out any chances or opportunities for her to win against me. I don't care about the mindset I have now. It's just the two of us. I will rather lose to another person than lose to her. "How many books are all together in the bible? Both new testament and-" I didn't allow him to finish talking. "Sixty-six books. Both the Old and the new testament." "Correct."

Did she count all the books? "You counted them all? Cool." "Estimated," she corrected. Oh, that's right. "Not bad at estimating, Ms. Aspen," said Manuever who had just arrived while carrying the books. "Why?" I will ask. "Because it's actually right. Except for the books that aren't here and the ones I'm carrying, but then? The remaining books inside this library are 416,278. You must be really good in Math, Ms. Aspen," he replied. That's great estimating ah? I am, I thought more than a million.
