He props an elbow on the table, his chin on a fist. "Yes. At a time when there wasn't much kindness around, Benny tried." Expressionless, "What did he do?" The stew I just ate sours as I seek memories I usually suppress. "There was a day... There weren't many books in Blessingmoors. I think they only kept the ones they had to fool the authorities. But there was one. It was my favourite. 'The Thousand and One Nights'. You know, the Arabian Nights..." The smallest of nods. "One of the men there, one of the staff, ripped it up..."

“Natalie.” “Well Natalie, I like to eat, so I’m not picky. I will tell you I don’t like blueberries unless they are cooked or baked in something. I don’t eat a lot of seafood. I do like salmon, halibut, crab, and steamer clams. That’s about it when it comes to seafood. I love a good hearty salad, and a homemade ranch dressing is my ultimate favorite. My favorite dinner foods are meaty pastas, spaghetti and meatballs, chicken alfredo, baked ziti, those kinds of pastas. I will never turn down a good pot roast dinner, or fried chicken. I hope that helps. Any other questions?” “Yes,” someone said shyly from the back of the kitchen.

"What have you been up to all this while?" "You want to know what I've been doing in my spare time," I asked, surprised that he cared at all. My hands instinctively clamped my neck as I remembered what had happened. He was a man of different shades. "Yes" He said, looking steadily at me. "Nothing much, I've been going to the library. This place has an interesting collection" "Is that so?, what are your favourites so far?" He asked, lighting up at the mention of books. "Well, I've seen many of the classics. Shakespeare, Jane Austen, Cervantes. The novel section is divided into time periods. For some reason though, Dickens is missing and he's one of my favorites."

"Wow, I'm liking this one, it's gonna be hard to put down," a wide smile spread across her face. She was four chapters in, the story was already clutching her. "Oh I know the kind ... I wanna read that one too, no spoilers please," he was seasoning his food, flipping his tools like a pro.

she turned away from me again, running her fingers down the spines of a few water-warped novels. You. "The one behind my desk," I answered. "It's my favorite." Evelyn looked over my desk at the worn down novel, the years and years of use made it delicate. She stroked a gentle finger over the cover. "It looks well-loved." "Do you have a favorite book, Evelyn?" I asked, leaning back at the table, our dirty dishes stacked neatly, ready for a cabin boy to take them away in the morning. She glanced at me from over her shoulder, a smile pulling on the corners of her lips. A devious smirk that screamed indignance. "I do. It's called, 'The Art of Profanity'."

He gestured to the book on their small table. Since her arrival, they delivered new books more frequently and even were considerate to her preferences. The second common room had almost turned into a library consisting of mostly romance and fantasy novels. However, despite the bi-weekly deliveries, there was nothing to do in prison besides read, finding Daisy finishing books extremely quickly. Dave would often surprise her with new trending books or secondhand ones that his youngest daughter had already read and grown bored of. She was an avid reader as well apparently. Wasting no time, she stretched her arm to reach the book, having no desire to leave her comfortable position. "It's a Gordo

"I see your point." I leaned forward and pulled out the bag of breakfast that Mrs. Chandler had sent us.

“Anything really. I like thrillers, horror, fantasy… and my favorite book… well, that depends, I guess.” “On what?” “What genre we’re talking about? In fantasy, I have to go with the classic Lord of the Rings. Neil Gaiman is another favorite, and of course, in horror, you can’t go wrong with Stephen King.” “Wow, impressive,” I replied, and Shaun looked almost bashful. “Yeah, my mom got me into a lot of that. She’s a big reader too.” We talked a little more about books before leaving the small restaurant. “Now, let’s see if we can fix our broken book,” Shaun said as he held my hand to the car.

He exclaimed. “Thank you, I always liked cooking with my mom and then in high school I took a cooking course and I really enjoyed it. As I got closer to graduating I didn’t know which I liked more reading or cooking so I decided why pick one what more perfect a setting then warm, cozy, comfort foods and books?” Alys told him with pride.

Stepping out of the car into the house, obviously still stuffed from the excessive dinner. I had tried out different pastries and different meals, and I even got the manager and the chef to hand me some of their recipes so I could cheer Lisa My favorite was the spaghetti bolognese, but I don't tell Garvin that. It is better to keep him in the dark on things like this. "Thank you, Garvin. I had a swell time." "I am glad you did." "Alright, good night, I... I will check up on Kian."
