Booktok Box Advent Calendar Novels & Stories

I pulled on my hiking boots and dressed in layers, knowing that it might be warm now but the early September night could get chilly. I racked my brain about the silver and iron and finally decided on the iron poker from the wood burning stove and a couple of knives from our good silverware set. I searched my Dad's room and the attic for any other useful weapons. I didn't find anything in Dad's room but I discovered a ornate wooden box that I had never seen before in the attic. It was beautiful and it seemed to call to me. Inside, I found a leather bound book with strange markings on it, lots of different herbs, most that I could identify but a few that I couldn't, candles, a bowl, salt, bell

< he suddenly says and I jump up. The smell of freshly baked brownies and chocolate ice cream make my mouth water, but a knock stops my horny ass from progressing. I open the door and see a flushed Kaeden holding a huge box wrapped in gold wrapping along with a black bow and something that looks like a frame leaning against his leg that is wrapped similarly too. My eyes widened in realization and I quickly let him in, which he thanked me soon after with a blush… So polite and so adorable. My petite mate holds the box out to me, “I know it’s early and your party is only this evening, but I wanted to give you your presents,” he says, making me melt.

“Okay. What are you doing in here Waxlyn? You don’t strike me as a nerd” “You’re right I’m not. I’m here to get a few books for Eloive. It’s gonna be a Christmas gift to him”. I frown. “But I thought Eloive can’t read”. “He can’t. I’m only getting them to spite him. He offended me on Christmas Eve, it’s only fair if I offend him on Boxing Day”. My frown deepens. “Boxing Day?” “Yeah, you know. The day after Christmas set aside for opening presents. Did anyone not teach you anything about Christmas?”

Adro replied, pausing for a moment before continuing, "It'll be brief. After this, I won't bother you again and might go back to being busy with war meetings." Grace closed her eyes, shaking her head. She opened her bedroom door wider and shifted her body. "Apologies. Of course. Please come in." As Grace sat on the edge of her bed, Adro pulled out a silver box adorned with bird engravings. He sat beside her, offering the box. "This is our favorite sweet, specially made for royal members." Grace accepted it. When she opened the lid, she found an array of candies in various shapes, soft and coated with powdery white sugar.

With Xoey's assistance, she brought the box indoors, and upon opening it, they found hefty books embellished with intricate black vines intertwined with one another. There were about seventeen of these books with such vines acting as locks. She had been instructed (according to the accompanying note) to commence with a certain locked book that featured a lustrous golden brown cover and also devoid of a title, without assistance from anyone. Xoey simply helped to arrange the books on the new shelf that had been delivered a week before. Today was the first day of her reading the book. She had spent hours trying to find the perfect way to unlock the vines yesterday. Of course, Xoey served her r

It was this stupid thread in my chest that tied me not only to my love but to other people who I don’t even freaking know, let alone should care about at all. I felt fucking stupid. I shoulder open the metal door to the bookstore which was located in the same building as the dining hall. The bookstore consisted of everything we’d need for a successful school year. Which included the backpack Xaden had gotten for me. There were also journals, notebooks, pencils, erasers, and oddly enough, art supplies. I didn’t even know art was a class that could be taken here. There were also small ‘emergency wands’, first aid kits, fur coat shine, claw buffers, crystal balls, and tons of different charms,

He just grins and munches on his bread. Smiling, I unwrap it carefully. It’s actually two books, housed in a red slipcase. The books are bound in what I think is red Morocco leather. The spines have raised bands and are lettered in gilt. One isAlice’s Adventures in Wonderland, the other isThrough the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There. Both the copies bear a dedication: ‘Margaret Evelyn Hardy from the Author, Christmas 1871.’ One of them contains a piece of paper that explains their origin.

The little triangle thing, he suddenly wondered if it had a name, was pointing to yes. The window on the other side of the door asked “Do I really need another candle?” The magic 8 ball underneath it had the answer of “Yes – Definitely” On the door in elegant script was Botanica Wiccan Bookstore, established 2006 Ciara Goode, Proprietess In both windows were elaborate and beautiful displays of books, candles, crystals, tarot cards and novelties. Working up his courage, Knuckles got off his bike and walked inside. He had expected the whole place to be dark and broody.

I asked my beast, who was sniffing around the darkened room. On my nightstand was a huge black box with a red bow and pink heart-shaped details. “I don't know. It smells kind of sweet and delicious,” my beast suggested, as surprised as I was. Without saying a word, I approached the box and looked at it closely. Could it be for me? Could Bradley have sent it? My beast remained completely silent as I finally opened the box. Damn, it was full of candy, flowers, and little plush toys. “I can't believe Bradley is so adorable,” I said with a sigh.
