Booktok Ruining Reading Novels & Stories

Lila shook her head at me in pity, still roaming her eyes around the novel she was reading. "Are you even listening to me?" I snapped. She raised her head from the novel. "Of course, why not?" "As far as I remember, you've been reading that damn novel since I've been talking to you. What do people enjoy reading words?" "Because it's awesome." "How? You can rather watch a movie than read books." I slapped the book out of her hand. "This book… Alpha's Check Mate by Amaury, it's awesome. You really should read her books. Some people prefer reading books than watching movies." She rolled her eyes and picked the book from the floor.

The sound surprised both of us and Lora pointed at me immediately. "There it is." "What?" "You're making fun of me." "You earned it." The conversation moved easily after that. One story became another. Favorite foods. Childhood memories. Strange habits. Embarrassing moments. Somewhere between the appetizers and dessert, she admitted she sometimes read the final pages of books before finishing them. I stared at her in genuine horror. "That's psychotic." "It reduces anxiety." "It ruins the entire story." "It prepares me emotionally." I shook my head. "No. Absolutely not."

The only thing that I could read was this one paragraph on the torn page I’m holding. I snorted, this is stupid. I’m thinking too much about this. It wasn’t like I was meant to read this one paragraph. It could have been a coincidence. This isn’t a storybook after all. I shook my head in disbelief and continued to tear up pages after pages of the book. Popping the lighter open, I lit the now crumpled paper and placed the wood on it slowly so as not to put it out, blowing air on it occasionally to keep the fire pumping.

Zahn had high hopes for you, but do you think your skills surpass his? "Why would I ignore his carefully compiled notes and instead listen to you, the so-called cancer expert who doesn't deserve the title? I'm not a fool like those people out there!" Another familiar voice came from somewhere not far behind Flora. "She's probably just trying to sabotage your surgery out of spite." It was Shaun speaking.

But not reading. The room smelled like torn paper and old wood. Dust hung in the air like smoke, swirling with every violent motion Dane made. He grabbed another book, one of the older ones, with a cracked leather spine, and without a second thought, he ripped the cover clean off and flung it across the room. It hit the wall with a dull thud before sliding to the floor in a pile of destroyed pages. “Dane, stop it!” I shouted again, louder this time, stepping fully into the wrecked library.

***** Book Two: Betrothed to the Ruthless Barbarian King Leila’s point of view I just ran out of pages, I closed the book slowly, reluctantly….. like the story would disappear forever if I shut it too fast. It didn’t, it never did. That was the problem with reading fictional books. The stories didn’t end when you reach the last page, they stayed. They clung to your chest, wrapped around your thoughts, sank into your bones like something permanent, leaving you stranded in the last paragraph like someone pulled the ground beneath your feet mid step.

Amazing, what is a better way to distract yourself than reading some dark romance books filled with smut. I got in the library and instantly felt a bit calm. Grabbing my favourite four books I got seated in a cosy comfortable corner, and started reading. An hour later I closed the fourth book in my hands as I groaned frustratingly. For god sake what's wrong with me? I couldn't even read a single book completely. I tried to read them for fifteen minutes and then put them aside while picking up another book. All of these books are my fucking comfort favourite books that I have re-read for so many times. The books whose MMC are my, to heart, book boyfriends.

“I was just telling Aly here that we should write up a review on A****n, warning people about the painful point of view changes in the book.” The teacher nodded. “What don’t you like about them?” I shrugged. “For one, it’s distracting. By the time you come back around to a character’s story, you have to flip back to their last chapter to see where their story left off. It’s tedious.” Roy sniggered. “He’s actually reading the book, for fuck’s sake.” Marina murmured. “Guess loser pussy really changes you.” The teacher diverted her attention. “Roy. Marina. Anything to add?”

Could you please tell me why I cannot read the next page or any other page? [Host has understood 1% of the content of the First Page] [The Second Page will be accessible after the Host gains 100% on the first page] You!! AGGHH! Why aren't you letting me be overpowered! [I've overpowered the host enough. Get to work!] As I thought of destroying the book, I became furious, but I calmed down immediately. Relax, it's nothing to worry about. There is no free meal available. I got a gist of how the book works, the reader moves onto the next page once they have understood 100% of that page.

So, Rara can be an example. Rate the book🥰🥰🥰🥰. Thanks for reading💜💜💜💜
