Books Like Call Me By Your Name Novels & Stories

Hoping that one day I'll have someone to cherish and love. Moving swiftly to where my book collection was, I picked one that was titled, 'Perfect Chemistry' by Simone Elkeles. The love story of Brittany Ellis and Alex Fuentes is so beautiful. Two people from two different worlds falling in love has to be the most endearing sight ever. Maybe one day I might experience such love, until then I need to pack up these books before Natalie gets here. Putting all the books in a box, I checked the time on my phone and it was past 4 pm. I decided to wash up before she got here.

"Armani, you? Since when do you love books?" I give him a tight smile. "You might be surprised, Brother." "I certainly would be. Tell me, which book did you both read and bond over? I’m sure Lauren and I would love to read it as well." I hesitate. Damn. I should have seen this coming. My mind scrambles for an answer, but it’s blank. Any title. Any author. Anything. "1984," Rena says smoothly, setting her half-eaten bread down. Her voice is calm, self-assured. "It’s an interesting read, given the current times."

"Oh my gosh! Yes! I love all of his books! I thanked God for him because he really makes good romance books." "Romance?" "Yes. He's really popular with bestselling romance novels. I bet you heard about 'A Walk To Remember'?" I shook my head. "No." "No? What about 'The Notebook'?" I repeatedly shook my head and now it really shocked her. "Still no?! That's like one of the most famous books he wrote. It even had a movie adaptation. We should watch it together! My brother loves it too." My expression changed into an amused one, yet I am feeling a little discomfort. It got really interesting though. Therefore, I conclude that Leon reads romance novels which I didn't really expect based on his pe

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.”

“Someone who actually reads. Who’s been broken before and didn’t turn careful forever. Someone who… sees me. Not the version I put on dating apps. The real one. Messy and scared and all of it.” The words hung there. Vulnerable. Too much. Callum went very still. His hand moved to his jacket pocket. He pulled out the wrapped book and set it on the table between them. Sloane stared at it. Her throat felt tight. “Who was it for?” she asked, voice small. He rubbed the back of his neck. “My date. She mentioned Zaha Hadid once. I spent three days hunting this down. Essays on beauty in architecture. Stupid, right?”

The scent of coffee lingered faint‍ly‍ in the‍ air. ‎ ‎⁠I touched the spine of a book at random. “The Ar‍t of War.” Typical‌, I thoug‌ht, and almo‍st laughed. Then I noti⁠ced the one beside it—“The Little Prince.” ‎ ‎I sm‌iled. That tiny‍, une‌xpected softness said mo⁠re about Damon than any i⁠nterview o⁠r ru⁠m‌or ever could.

Or it could just be my overthinking brain making up stuff. I look around now very much conscious about his presence; I walk towards my cliché favorite book, Romeo and Juliet. I take the book and walk towards the reading area. The room was pretty much empty, there are few students busy typing their life away in the laptops, some of them are writing notes in their Ipad and some of them are reading books like me.

Alizeh: 'I know, but I can't control my laugh! Varun: "I can say this also with that other meaning, but I am not like that na!" Alizeh: "I know that you are not like that, I know it really well knows! by the way when is my book coming!" Varun: "Maybe 23!" Alizeh: "Yayy, I will keep it with me always!" Varun: "You can also keep me with you always!" Alizeh: "I know, you can also keep me!"

I see she had placed a blanket and few pillows on the foot of the sofa, another blanket was folded and placed near just incase we got cold, and an image was paused on the large screen. I read the title, Call Me By Your Name, sounds good, probably romance, and I don’t mind really, I am just after some good food and quality time with my best friend, I see her patting the spot next to her and I go take a seat, she hands me a box of noodles and places the chicken between us while the drinks are still on the table only an arm away.

We move towards the book aisles, the three of us dividing and browsing through the books individually. I delicately skim my hands over the book spines, enjoying the feeling of the hardcover on my fingers. I pull out the book that had the name night circus written on it. I trace my fingers over the images on the cover and turn the book to read the description. "You should get that. It is one of my favourites." I hear a voice speak, and I look up to see who it was, my eyes furrowed in confusion. I don't know if this was coincidence or if we were being stalked; one of the 'cute' guys from the food court was standing beside me.
