Novel & Cerita Book Nerd

Before Alexander, I used to spend entire afternoons browsing used bookstores, discovering new poets, buying novels with coffee-stained covers. "You used to love getting lost in places like this," Derek continues. "You'd disappear between the shelves for hours, then emerge with an armload of books you couldn't afford." "I still read." "Do you? Or do you read what Alexander thinks you should read? Business biographies? Society magazines?" The question stings because it's accurate. My bedside table is filled with books that look impressive but leave me feeling empty. "There's a poetry section in the back," Derek says casually. "Why don't you see if anything speaks to you?"

Her I*******m was opened and yes, the I*******m page was sitting right there with a total of two million followers and zero following. "Nat...this is huge." I breathed. Your favorite book critic is basically someone who accepts read requests from random people and then she reads the book and drops both the good and bad reviews about the book. Sometimes the bad outweighs the good and vice versa. "I know." She answered. "Why didn't you tell your brother?" I asked her.

Just sneakers and a light jacket. The city was unusually quiet. I ended up at a small antique bookstore tucked between a florist and a tailor. It had no flashy signage, just a brass bell on the door and a handwritten welcome note in cursive. Inside, the scent of old paper and cedar wrapped around me like a story waiting to be told. I let myself drift between the aisles until a book caught my eye—Letters Never Sent. It was a collection of real, unsent letters from women over the last century. To lost loves, estranged mothers, unborn children.

“Looks like I’m not done surprising you yet. And yes. I can. My familiars can sense for spirits and can pull me back. But I need you to make sure nothing else tries to come after me.” Lucas’s jaw tenses. “Are you sure this is a good idea?” “Yes. I’ve been wanting to go look through the books for a while, actually. The Academy has an extensive library. It’s two-stories tall and has the most wonderful smell of old paper and fresh ink.” “It’s obvious why you own a bookstore.” “I do like books, though our store is full of mostly fiction. I love a good romance novel.” He runs his hand up and down my arm. “Why do you love romance novels so much?”

“Yeah, but not all of them. I’ve done a lot of reading on the subject, and I mean it when I say they might hoard stamps.” “Or books,” he suggested. “Ohhh, now that would be suuuper sexy,” I responded, thinking of a big red dragon as keeper of the world’s biggest library. There was another chuckle, and it had a kind of knowing tone to it I didn’t understand. Like I was missing an inside joke. “I’m glad you think that’s sexy,” his voice rumbled low and alluring through the speakers. “It is. I work in a bookstore. Not sure I ever told you that,” I confessed. “I love books.”

The bedazzled look on Alek’s face worsened. Giving up, she told him, “It’s something only a book lover will understand, okay?” “What other things will only a book lover understand?” “Hmm. Fancy bookmarks. Song playlists,” she said, listing it out on her fingers. She couldn’t remember all, but those were her favourites. “Ignoring your phone to read.” “Ignoring your phone? Why?” “When a book is so engrossing, you don’t want to leave it.” Her voice lowered. “If a book lover stops in the middle of a book to text you, know they are in love with you. “

he began and Kolas scoffed at him from where he sat, although he wanted to hear what he had to say as well. " I didn't chose this place because it belongs to EMC Conglomerates, I chose it because it has a special place in my heart. I'm an avid reader and I must say, alot of the books had helped in shaping me to who I became today, the love life I keep and almost everything personal to me. I still come here every single day to read because the store never runs out of fresh books I always find relating to me. I guess this would be enough to answer the question glaring that everyone wants to ask" be finished and bowed and a smatter of applause began again.

"Never saw you as an avid reader." "Don't judge a book by its cover, Lena. This hot person standing before you had brains, too. That's why I laugh when you see me in advanced classes." I rolled my eyes. "Quit being narcissistic." He laughed. "So why are you raiding my shelf?" "I wasn't raiding your shelf," I emphasized. "I was just looking through. I am interested in your choice of books." "You find it nerdy, don't you?" He asked. I nodded and he winked. "Girl, you've got everything here. Hot, handsome, sexy twenty year old male who loves to read and is thought to have OCD. What more do you want?"
