Book Talk Samples Novels & Stories

He hated her and for sure didn’t want her help. Once again, she walked to the same study room and thought of waiting for him while scanning the books. From fictional romance to nonfiction world’s reality, there are hundreds of books to engage the readers. Her finger senses the spine of books like she could feel the words inside it, reading them softly, when Samson entered the room quietly.

They walk away and I stare after them until he speaks. "Are you alright?" I startle. "Yes,I'm fine." He nods then places one hand in the pocket of his pants. He asks me about the books I've read,since I can't seem to stay away from the library. It's a good thing I'm into books because I just randomly blurt out the ones I read at home. I did Not,touch a single book in his library,it's just a getaway. There's a stretch of uncomfortable silence after the books conversation. I don't dare lift my eyes to look at him,at this point I feel like I'll pass out.

“You forget who you are talking to. I have read three books in one day, each with over three hundred pages. This will be a piece of cake.” I laugh at her words, but I can't deny that I appreciate her being here. I really did make a good decision by telling Sarah about this. “Very well then, let’s get started,” I say, and we both take a book and start reading. The next three hours are spent gathering information about omegas. Most of the books are repeating the same facts we are already aware of about omegas, and it all becomes frustrating to read the same thing over and over again. I slam the third book loudly against the table before releasing a frustrated groan. Placing a hand on my head,

Bella Pov I found out about Karen's book tour on a Wednesday morning when Tanya sent me a link with three exclamation marks. Karen Tyler was doing a Q&A at Ridgeline Books on Saturday afternoon. The caption on the event page said "an honest conversation about healing, survival, and reclaiming your truth." I read it twice and felt sick. She was coming to our city. The woman who had written a bestselling book full of lies about my life was coming here to sell it in person.

I stopped at the library door and smiled to myself. ‘Books are better than people. Books don’t hate on you for something you didn’t do.’ I pushed the door open and breathed in the wonderful smell of books. ‘Paradise.’ I strolled to the shelves and scanned through the books, reading their names off their spines. ‘It seems Dante wasn’t joking when he said half of his library was filled horrors.’ A book caught my eye, and I pulled it from the others. “Bone and Souls by B. Brian.” I read the name aloud and skimmed through the description behind it. “This seems interesting.”

I walked into the library and I could not hold back the excitement bubbling towards the surface. I mean who could believe that a man like Dante would have a library talk more, reading a book. I was in awe, I won’t lie. He just smiled at my reaction and we both talked about books. And the ones we've read and I knew that our taste in books were quite similar. I love any environment that had books. He took out a book from the shelf and I checked for the title.

“Plus, this. Gotta walk the talk.” The book title was: How to Be an Effective Secret Lover. Serena laughed her heart out. She was so amused her eyes watered. “Seriously, you need a guide for that?” “I like to be thorough,” Nathaniel seriously said. “This… is uncharted territory.”

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?” ***

“Except for the new Nesmir Christie book, they did.” “Darn it, that book is the one we need to boost our new membership drive.” Her boss sounded aggrieved. “We did get the new books by Devlin Geris and John Rood.” She held up a copy each of the two writers whom she considered among the best in the business. “Hm, I suppose those will have to do.” Hamby shrugged indifferently. “We could get them to do a reading here at the library...” Doris looked at her boss expectantly. “Or at least one of them, John Rood maybe... ”

Popping open the buttons again, I grabbed a random book from the pile and knocked on the door. “Sorry to disturb you, but I seem to have a problem with…” I cast a cursory look at the book I’d grabbed and was appalled to see it was a literature book, “…this book.” He arched his brow. “Time to kill" by John Grisham . I got it because I was told it’s one of the books in this year’s syllabus, even though I wasn’t sure if Literature is one of the subjects you’re interested in. I haven’t read it though, so I might not be of much help.”
