Book Body Talk Novels & Stories

He showed me the book he had been reading, a colorful fantasy book for kids. “I’m reading a book,” he said, his excitement contagious. “Really?” I responded, genuinely interested. We sat down together, and as Henry dove into a detailed explanation of the story, I found myself struggling to find the right moment to tell him about Aiden and Addison. Damn! I didn’t know it would be this hard. Henry continued talking about the book, his enthusiasm making it even more difficult for me to shift the conversation. But then, I found a perfect segue. “You know,” I began carefully, “speaking of amazing stories, I have something important to tell you. Something that might feel like it’s out of a book, b

I am sitting in what was supposed to be an easy dress, but feels cumbersome and awkward, especially since it needs to be adjusted from behind. “But she said she was leaving you a book….” “She left several, actually, but none of them had stories inside,” I try to explain, taking a nibble of my toast. “Well, then what…?” “They had LOTS of pictures. Lots and lots of pictures,” I am beginning to feel flushed everywhere, my chest and face growing warm. “And diagrams. Mostly about anatomy and…” His eyes, currently a dull hazel, go wide in alarm. “She gave you…?”

“What else did Grandpa tell you?” Thea tilted her head in an effort to remember and suddenly recalled a fact. “Grandpa said the technique recorded in the Medical Book Volume Two is called Invincible Body Siddhi. Mastering it will make you invulnerable to swords and bullets. However, it needs to be practiced alongside the Medical Book First Volume which will act as a guide.” “Back then, Julianna wasn’t able to pierce through your skin with a knife in Dagon Fountain Villa. You claimed to be wearing clothes made from a special material, but now it's clear to me that you've changed your body's cellular structure with medicine.”

What if the information we needed simply wasn't there? I reached out and touched the cover. Instantly, golden light burst from the pages. Micha and I both froze. Then—something that had never happened before happened. The book spoke. Its voice was ancient, layered, and echoing like someone whispering from a distant chamber. "Dearest reader, this book chose not to open earlier because the time was not right. Do not be shocked—I can speak. I am called the Living Book for a reason." Micha and I exchanged stunned looks but nodded quickly.

she said. “Yeah. Exactly. Like she had a book in her.” “Okay, that’s some legit weird spooky shit right there,” she said. “How so?” “Nah, just someone in a bookstore said that to me recently. That I had a book in me.” A quick shrug. “Weird.” “Damn right it’s weird.” Margo smiled. “I know, right?” “Right! I mean, a bookstore? For real? Are those even a thing anymore?” ***

I complain. "You are perfect , you don't need to change . So, take my word and stop punishing your body for being the way it should be ." He says,"Besides, I like you the way you are." My heart melts at that and I grin , unable to help it. "Now, after this, I am taking you to eat. No excuses." He says and heads inside the library. I followed his lead. The bookstore/Library is huge, with great architecture. I immediately find myself walking towards the novel section. I pick a few good ones .

I can’t get invested in any way, especially not emotionally. “B-books,” I stammer. “It would be a terrible thing to have to do, to narrow it down to one, especially for a book lover like me Never ask a book lover what their favorite book is. You’ll be here eight hours later, listening to us going off on tangent after tangent, discussing the merits of just about every book that has ever been published since the dawn of time.” Mike laughs, a clear, deep, manly sound that is like a deep brook, and I’m the one diving in, in search of the bottom.

--- They talked for two hours. Not Adaeze talking and the audience listening — the oval configuration of the chairs making the democracy of the conversation physical, making it possible to speak to each other rather than at each other. Women asked questions and other women responded before Adaeze could. Women shared their own versions of what the book described and other women recognised themselves in what was shared. The book became, in that room, what it had been becoming since publication — not a fixed text but a living conversation, something that generated more of itself in the presence of the people who needed it. The woman who had read it four times was in the front row.

“Let’s do it.” Her ghostly form shimmered slightly as she gestured toward the book. “That’s the first step,” she said, her eyes locked on the leather-bound pages. “It's the basics but essential to understand what’s inside of you, know the power flows through your body.” she waved for me to step closer. I hesitated for a second, then walked over and grabbed the book, when I touched it, the pages shifted on their own. They flipped rapidly, as if searching for something, until they stopped on a detailed diagram of the human body.

"Aww a mini Lance. That's so adorable. And what's the book about." "About a girl falling for someone unexpected. The same guy that told her on her worst day that, one day a stranger will walk into her life and will flip her world upside down. And it will make her realize as to why it never worked out with anyone else but him." I smiled while looking at him in the crowd. "The book is called, My Personal BodyGuard. Based on true events." I smiled. Once my interview was over there was a meet and greet. I walked over there and there was a big line. It lasted about 2 hours.
