Going By The Book Novels & Stories

Can’t fool me. “Did you speak to the other golems?” I asked him, tearing my eyes away as Jenny arched her back. Well, mostly away. He nodded. “They are prepared to do what must be done. For the Book.” I wasn’t entirely convinced the crusading golem army would be a force for good — when was the last time fanatical devotion to a book led to anything other than trouble? — but as long as they got us through this, I’d be happy to grant them tax-exempt status.

After checking the computer, the woman behind the counter nodded. “We have two copies left. Is that the only book you need?” she asked. “Yes! Oh my God! Thank you! What aisle is it in?” “If you wait here, I’ll go get it for you!” “Thank you so much!” Five minutes later I was strolling out the doors, gripping the book tightly. That was $82 I couldn’t afford, but oh well. I would be fine as long as I was careful about rationing my food. At least I didn’t have to worry about the ‘Freshmen Fifteen’. I threw the book in the back seat before slamming my door and starting my car. It was about time I found the stupid book. Now I could go see Becky. I glanced at the clock and immediately groaned when

“Let’s go.” I followed him silently to the waiting car, clutching the ancient book I had bought. It was heavier in my hands than I expected, the worn cover feeling almost alive beneath my fingers. The title was still hard to make out, but inside, the pages were filled with ancient knowledge, with history. The origins of the rogues, their stories buried deep within the lines of text.

Adam let out a slow whistle, dragging his hand down his face. “Nah… this book is wild,” he said under his breath. He stayed still for a moment, staring at the page like it might say more if he looked long enough. Then he shook his head, almost laughing, but not fully. “A train?” he muttered. “Out of all places…” He pushed off the counter and started pacing again, the book hanging loosely in his hand. This one didn’t feel like control. Didn’t feel like planning either. It was fast. Reckless. Like two people just… stepped into something with zero hesitation.

pointing Akshara and asked the book to be more clear in its words. The book of prophecy again shouted with an echo, “Ignorance Fails Your Quest”. The book then vanished into thin air and its dust went out the pyre. Igikran was in a flight to capture the book from vanishing, he hid against the wall and fall reflexively.

I glance at the cover of the book she slid across the counter: a Catherine Bybee novel. “Oh, wow, Mathilda. You’re a fan of Catherine Bybee?” I smile, genuinely impressed as I open the ledger. “It’s refreshing to see a teenager with such classic taste. Most girls your age are glued to their phones, but here you are, diving into a good romance.”

My voice is low and cold. ************* Note: Don't forget to like, comment and share the book! This really helps it grow on the platform

She whispered and ended the call. “So much headache for a day. Nora should have been the perfect daughter for my dad. Those two always find a way to piss me off. But I'm going to show them I can be better than what they think of me.” Lillian mumbled to herself and walked into the gigantic building in front of her.

“I agree wholeheartedly, Your Grace.” * * * * Lindsay stood next to Barry in front of a clergyman as he read out of the Book of Common Prayer. Her grandmother had told her she’d be nervous today, but Lindsay wasn’t. Excitement ran through her veins, and she couldn’t stop smiling. Love blossomed inside of her, and each new day with Barry would only be an adventure, she was certain.

When she looked up, she didn't find any empty place where the book could be kept. She walked closer and squatted by the book. The book was unique. It was black, heavy, and had a gothic look. There was a pattern on the book cover and when Bella touched the book felt old and well-built.
