Novel & Cerita Booktok Made Me Buy It

"Bought it forty years ago. Figured I'd need somewhere to go when the world got too loud." David had peeled off an hour ago, claiming he had business to handle. I suspected he just wanted to give us space. Time to actually be together without an audience. The inside was even better than the outside. Open floor plan, massive stone fireplace, furniture that looked comfortable instead of expensive. A kitchen that was clearly used. Books everywhere. "It's beautiful," I said. "It's yours." He set the bags down. "Ours. Whatever you want to do with it. Change anything. Everything. I don't care as long as you're here."

You don't want that for me 😥 Also, please leave a review for my book so it can get ratings. Thanks a lot for reading and for your support 🙏

Inirapan ko siya at padabog na isinilid ang huling gamit na nadampot. Pinulot ko ang libro at dinamba sa kaniyang dibdib. "Oh, libro mo!" "Easy!" Tawa niya. "The book is expensive. Do not expect me to buy a new one." "Mayaman ka naman. Kahit bilhin mo pa ang buong bookstore," pamimilosopo ko. Humalakhak siya nang malakas na dinig sa hallway habang papalabas kami.

It transformed the woman into a completely different person. "I just purchased a tablet for that very purpose," Daniel said. Melinda's mother's smile morphed into a look of horror. "No, that won't do at all. You must have the actual book in your hands—feel the pages. I suggest you get your money back." "But I can have as many books as I want on the device at the same time. That way, if I finish one while Melinda's doing her hair, I can start another while she's applying her makeup," Daniel said.

“If you want something, I’m going to make sure you get it.” I open the door for her, and she walks out silently, clutching the book to her chest like a lifeline. As we head back into the square, she finally speaks. “Thanks.” The word comes out grudgingly, like it’s being pulled from her throat. “For the book.” “Anything you want, just get it. Let me worry about the money.” “This is the first book I’ve ever bought.” Her voice is quiet. “The pack bookstore wouldn’t sell it to me.”

That's my baby. I quickly entered a mall, and went straight into a nearby bookstore. But their copies of that story are said to be sold out. That's why I went to a popular bookstore. They put a lot of weight on the books they sell, but I really need to see or read that book! I was headed for the shelf that was for Miss Yuki, so the lady who was about to pass in front of me, just excused myself. The copy was alone, and I breathed a sigh of relief when I got ahead of the girl earlier.

Her familiar initials on the book cover also showed that she owned the book. The book was pretty messed up from the first page to the last. It was colored with different markers and totally ruined. Unable to even be used for studying again. I clenched the book hard. Alice loved that book! It was the first thing I got her with the first money I earned as a part-time worker at a store. But now ,it only bared the things that make me feel like shit each time. The words written on the book and it's pages clawed hard at my heart.

I got out a dense packed book and quickly went back to Reuben in bed. He looked confused and disheveled; his inquisitive gaze fell on the book in my hand. He asked, "What is that?" I, in turn, proudly presented it to him, "Lo and behold Your Highness, this right here in my hand is the 5th popular limited edition of Busty Asian Babes. I heard it is so stimulating that you can release at any time." Reuben with book in hand, "..........."

"Honestly, it’s no trouble at all. It wasn't exactly a blow to the budget. The campus bookstore had a clearance bin, so I snagged it for about a credit and a half." The warm smile on Patricia’s face turned into a frozen mask of secondary embarrassment. I could practically see the gears turning in her head. It wasn't that the book was inexpensive—it was the fact that I had just admitted to buying the most powerful Alpha in the Kingdom of Valeria a 'peace offering' that cost less than a cup of cafeteria coffee. To make matters worse, I was standing there bragging about what a bargain it was.

I was speechless. 'Ah, I forgot about that.' The book I was reading was called 《The Male Lead's Lover》. It was a story filled with crappy cliché, and I also don’t know what I ate to read that kind of book. Maybe I was momentarily out of my mind and bought that book in the bookstore, or maybe I was asleep as I picked that book on the shelf.
