Booktok Store Novels & Stories

"Let us go meet her." Chicago was a five hour drive. Liam drove. Anna sat in the back. I navigated. The rain followed us the whole way. Grey skies. Grey roads. Grey everything. The bookstore was called "Pages." It sat on a corner between a coffee shop and a flower store. The windows were full of bestsellers. A sign on the door said "Open." We walked in. Bells jingled. The smell of paper and old wood wrapped around me. Shelves stretched to the ceiling. A cat slept on a pile of romance novels.

But somehow, she couldn't take her eyes off it. Rosabella looked up quietly, and this shop was called "Sales of Time." It's a weird name inside of her. Everyone knows that time is priceless and never recovered after it's over. And this store dares to name it part-time. Sell something so priceless, is that okay? So the person who bought it, what's the price?

Did he just say one hundred thousand? He gave me that pleading look while waving the rectangular shaped paper at me. My eyes quickly widened when I realized what he said was true. “W-Which book store is that?” Is he kidding me?! I have always wanted to buy books but I didn't have the money to collect every book I love!? “Hmm.” He spread the paper as if it was the daily newspaper. “National Book Store.” I gasped. No way! “You are still not forgiven, you know.” I tried to sound mad and started walking towards me. “If you give that to me, I might forgive you and really not say about what happened and bring it to my grave.”

“I do not know if you came to return them and seek a refund, but we can’t do that because we don’t sell these books anymore. I am about to leave now, so you have to leave first.” “Can I at least get one book?” Zion was already waiting for me to bring a new book home and read it to him before he fell asleep. Leaving without a book wouldn’t seem fair. “I am sorry, the store has closed. I can’t give you any because then I’d have to redo today’s sales, and it is already closing time for me!” She snapped at me, her tone not in any way polite. My teeth gritted, and I turned to leave when she spoke again. “You haven’t taken your books.” She told me, and I stopped and turned to her.

"Summer is almost here, and people will be getting their play areas in order. He's had these slumps before, right?" "He has. They just have never seemed so severe." "Well, if you two need anything just let me know, you hear?" She smiled as she said, "Thank you." "And how about Selby? How is the bookstore doing?" Faith's phone went off again, vibrating on the table. A quick glance revealed another text from Edwin. Faith fought the urge to read it. "Business is going pretty well. He's thinking of adding a magazine rack like the bigger brick and mortar stores as well as newspapers. He thinks he can pick up some more downtown business that way." Her phone vibrated again.

I pointed out. “Well kind of. I think she has been hiding in plain sight. Austin said that when he was travelling through here that he felt an immense surge of magic when he was in Portland.” She told us. “Wait, there is that weird ass bookstore there. You know that one that looks like a fucking mausoleum. The owner is a woman, and it sells the weirdest books and other shit.” Peadar pointed out.

They eat silently. After lunch they went to the shops. Alicia is excited because she likes buying stuff for Elise. They enter an expensive store of dress but Elise didn't like the idea. She said that she does not need it and she would rather buy books than expensive dresses. Alicia is broken hearted but didn't pursue the thought. She just ordered a few dresses and got out of the shop. Apparently, the store they went to is strange. The book store is bigger inside and feels more like a museum. Is this the central bookstore? Elise can't help herself to be amazed. A spectacular view of endless shelves and magic lights hanging on like a little lamb.

“No one is sending any one to hell. We are meeting in fifteen. Reach as soon as possible.” I hung up the call. I wished that I knew what this was about but as far as I was about demons they were never going to let you know something until you really were needed to know about it. Finally we reached the bookstore. It was named beautifully. Books and Blues. Well for people who did not know the irony would not understand it but it was a good business and Hannabelle was an astute businesswoman. And I did not know but I was sure that something was up with the coffee of this house which would only mean that she had magicked the place in such a subtle manner that people flocked here for the coffee a

“Do you think the bookstore next to Wixon still has it?” Valencia leaned on the kitchen counter near the sink, tapping her fingers on the ceramic surface. “Yeah, trust me the last time I visited that bookstore down on 2nd street was 2 days ago. it was a recent visit so I’m sure they still have a few left in the Non-fiction section.” The voice on the phone said.

she says, thinking that there are no books in that place. The lady takes out her phone and checks something on it. "Go out, turn left, and two blocks down is Ginebra Co. bookstore. You'll find what you're looking for there," she assures enthusiastically. "They have a lot of children's and young adult literature." "Thank you so much!" Arya says, slowly regaining her faith.
