Booktok Store Novels & Stories

she stammered. "We want to buy drawing books and pencils, do you sell them, sir?" Keith impatiently took over the answer Nathania wanted to say. The man was silent for a moment, he adjusted the position of his glasses while observing the strange young man standing in front of his shop. "Yes, I sold it. Please come in!" he said, allowing this foreign young man to enter his shop. As the man allowed Nathania and Keith to enter a very deserted bookstore after weeks of being closed according to royal regulations.

Greta and Gabby made their way to Page Turner’s Bookstore just down the street from the Blue Moon Inn. Once inside the warmth of the large shop, Greta was surprised to see a bright modern shop, which included not only a metaphysical section, but my children’s section, too. With soft upbeat music playing in the background, it didn’t take long to find the shopkeeper chatting away to a rather wild looking dog by a fireplace.

When my shift ended, I found myself walking toward the corner table where Kael sat, his laptop closed now, a book in his hands. I stopped short when I saw the cover. ‘Knot We Cannot Untie.’ That was the book he was holding. I can't believe that Kael would be reading one of Linda Lively’s books. “You read… this?” I said, the surprise evidently in my voice. Kael looked up, one brow raised. “Why? You think I only read racing magazines and bank statements?” I gave a small laugh. “Chill bro. It’s just… not what I was expecting ”

There is no mate bond, but having him close makes me feel more secure. “I can’t wait for you to see this.” He rubs his thumb on the top of my hand as he leads me to a store. It’s rare Bronx gets so excited about surprising me. We approach a bookstore with a dusty, old window display. In gold paint, there is a picture of a pan flute and a goat. The images are peeling and sundried as if they’ve been there forever. Over the pictures are the words ‘The Barded Goat Used & Collectible Books’.

“No, not in the new stock but we had a copy in our old library.” “ Sir, can you tell me where the old books are kept. I need that book to complete an assignment. Please……” “ They are kept in the store. Go and look for it in the basement. I am very busy. I won't be able to accompany you.” He said handing me the keys. The books in the store were dusty. I had to take a cloth and wipe them to read their titles. It would take the whole day if I continued in this manner. I called up Ryan, “ Can you meet me in the library store. It is in the basement and ask Melisa to come along, if possible.”

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.

This was only another proof that this person really knew me and Smith's jewelries too. I walked into the bookstore, it was scanty. There were only fewer highschool students seated in it, and the store keeper too. " How may I help you dear?" The old lady who was the store keeper asked me with a smile on her face. "Uhm…I'm waiting for someone?" I wondered if it would be rude to wait in the store without getting a book. "...but I would go through the shelves and pick any book that pricked my interest." I quickly added, just in case it was rude to be here without purchasing anything.

Krystal took a deep breath as she walked into the bookstore, the place was packed with books, and she could smell them from the door. The bookstore in her Tycoon mall was opened but it contained books with universal knowledge and what she wanted was something that she could read and use at the moment. She walked towards the high school department where she picked textbooks from the first year till the third year. She was going to try from the beginning if she wanted to at least have good grades. Krystal took her time and picked textbooks that were highly recommended including some workbooks and stationery. She looked at the books she had picked and smiled.

As I perused the books, I could feel Aidan’s gaze on me. The shop, much like the one downstairs, boasted an impressive selection. These were books to be enjoyed in the coffee lounge, not purchased or taken home. A smile tugged at my lips as I reached the romance novel section. So, Well Thumbed had these too. I wondered if they had hidden gems, perhaps something I hadn’t read or that Uncle Alex’s book club, Bound To Please, hadn’t discovered yet.

Lev asks as the waiter leaves. “They own a bookstore,” I reply, grateful for the easy question. “They’ve been running it since before I was born. It’s a small place, but it’s pretty much the only place in town that sells the types of books people really want to read.” “I take it they’re not peddling textbooks,” he replies with a grin. “A lot of Romance. Holy shit, so much Romance. That, and Murder Mysteries, but people need some excitement. God knows they don’t get any in that little town otherwise.”
