Book Reading Journals Novels & Stories

Add my books to your library and read them. Thanks.

I took a pic of me eating and posted with the hashtag #latenightsnack I washed the leftover dishes and went upstairs to freshen up and get ready for bed When I came out of the bathroom the first thing I noticed was the brown paper packed with books and that old journal slipping out of my bag I crawled over to the middle of my bed to check it out. I opened the bag completely and brought out all the books, I picked up the journal and it actually looked really old, especially the leather on it, then I remembered Mr Jonathan's word's '...That book will test you...' I took a deep breath and opened the book. The pages were.... Blank?? I flipped through the book and it was the same I actually didn'

I looked at the plate of snacks, then at the old leather-bound books about witches I had been hiding, and finally at the massive journal sitting by my plate. With a frustrated groan, I pushed the witch books aside and pulled the King's journal toward me, flipping it open to the first page. I had an hour to figure out how to judge a pack of wolves, and the clock was ticking. I flipped past the filled pages, the paper scraping against my fingers as I hurried toward the back of the book. Most of the entries were filled with neat, dense handwriting detailing past disputes, land boundaries, and punishments. I kept turning until the ink stopped, opening to the very last written page.

The accessing had been systematic—she had checked them out in the order that suggested she knew what she was looking for rather than browsing. The dark applications journals: all five of them, checked out within a two-month period. The journals had been returned to the shelf. The content had been copied, presumably, through whatever method she had available during the hours she had the journals in her possession. Pei added, at the end of his message: The journals themselves are still on the shelf. I've reviewed them. They're intact. But they've been read very carefully—there are trace marks in the margins where someone pressed hard while reading. She spent significant time with them.

The Book of Curse, with its foreboding aura, seemed to cast a spectral presence in the recesses of her mind. The old journal, now placed on the nightstand, carried the weight of its uncanny resemblance to the haunting images from her nightmares. Jette closed her eyes, hoping that sleep would offer respite from the disquieting thoughts that lingered. As the night unfolded, the boundary between dreams and reality blurred, and the Book of Echoes became a silent witness to the mysterious interplay between past, present, and the uncharted realms of the subconscious—a harbinger of a narrative that transcended the tangible pages of a journal and ventured into the intangible realms of the unknown.

Normal. I pushed open the heavy wooden door, and the scent of old books and ancient knowledge hit my nasal holes. The room was filled with shelves, lined with volumes of books and dusty manuscripts. The atmosphere felt charged with anticipation, as if the room itself held the weight of generations past. I let my fingers slide along the spines of the books as my eyes scanned the titles until something caught my attention—a worn, leather-bound journal hidden among the others. Its pages were weathered and yellowed with time. It looked like it had been preserved for literal ages and belonged to another time. It seemed like a shrine to the secrets of my family that I had been aching to learn.

Our family was complete in that picture. Once inside, he went to one of the bookshelves that were always locked. I was curious about what was inside. He took a key from a drawer and unlocked the bookshelf. He opened it, and I saw many books inside it. What is so special about those books that it needs to be locked up? “This, Baby girl,” he gestured to the books, “are my journals.” “You have journals too?” I was surprised. He didn't seem the type who wrote journals.

he was still as cocky as ever, typical Beta. After he said that no bumps would appear because the book seemed light, he took it. We both stared at the book that appeared to be a journal. We gave each other a curious look. Why would there be a journal on the shelves of the encyclopedia at the library? I knew it was wrong to look through someone else's diary, but my curiosity got the best of me. I took the journal from Ace and started to flip through it. The journal seemed old; the pages of the book were turning brown. There were liquid stains on some of the pages too. The diary was well organized, there were no lines, but the entries were styled.

My body trembled with excitement and anticipation as I opened the door further until I saw a—book? The corner of my lips curled down in disappointment. It was just an old, dusty journal. Nothing special, like some cursed object or anything. I pulled out the journal and dusted it off. I coughed as the dust flew off. Goddess, it was in a terrible condition. How old was this book? “So, this was it?” I said and looked around. All the safe unlocking was for an old journal. Blowing some breath out of my mouth, I pushed the shelf back to its place and stacked the books back in their rows.

he said. “By about four days,” she said. “I checked against the journal.” “You keep records,” he said. “I keep records,” she agreed. They stood for a while. “The book is doing something,” he said. “The reader messages.” She’d been sharing some of them with the household — not all, some were private in ways that the sharing would violate, but the ones that were about the quality of the book rather than the specifics of the readers’ lives. “Yes,” she said.
