I Need A New Book To Read Novels & Stories

Forbidden 24 I take my window seat in the back of the plane. Waiting for other passes to board the plane I turn on my aeroplane mood and open the new novel I started reading the novel I have always wanted to read but my whole life event has not allowed me to even start the first page. When I checked online I was advised to see a therapist but I am not interested in talking to someone I do not even know.

I let out a deep sigh at my weakness. "You have to read this book, Aron. I stumbled upon this book while browsing the market for new, worthwhile novels to read. Learn to find harmony in all aspects of your life and overcome guilt and desperation. I'm sure this book will help you with that." I retrieved the book from her hands. "Where to find peace?" The book's title drew me in. I don't typically read spiritual novels, but there's something about that book title that makes me want to read it right away.

Why hadn’t I brought a third book? I cook lunch early to give myself something to do and then head out for a walk. The air is crisp and fresh, the light layer of snow from the night before melting away, leaving behind a thick layer of dew on everything. I look back at the cabin and strongly consider swimming in the freezing lake rather than go read the book about fae mates some more. But the cold gets to me and I end up going inside. I groan while picking it back up. I’ll just skim those parts. I think.

I wonder how long I can survive in this world without turning to ash. I spent most of the day in my room. Pretending to read, trying to trick my brain into believing words on a page can hush the chaos inside me. I scroll through bookstagram, click add to cart, order five more novels I’ll never finish. Let’s be honest, none of us buy books to read them all. We buy them for the hope they carry. For the illusion that we’re better, smarter and more in control that we actually are. I tell myself distraction is healing. But even lies feel tired in my mouth now.

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 🙏

It’s getting hotter. “Am I going to have to do it myself?” Can I? I look down at my tiny arms. Will they manage with the water and the soap and- “I’ll give it a half hour. “ I go. A half-hour, and if no one comes in by then, I try again for the books. “Come on,” I plead. “Give me something.” Anything? I picked up the next book without even bothering to read the title. I toss it open and start flipping pages. Nothing so far, just some illustrations. But it doesn’t take long to see it won’t be enough.

In New York City, that will be easy peasy. As if… “Oh, God,” I lament, grabbing my laptop from the coffee table and flopping on the couch. The rays of sunlight beam through the windows, and I instantly feel its warmth on my skin. I hadn’t realized how nice this place is until now. Now that I have to let it go. I suddenly don’t feel ready to get out of here. Opening my laptop, I find the real estate websites I was looking at before and start a new search with different filters. Even though I was ready to finally get the bookstore back on track, finding a new apartment is my priority now.

And yet, somehow, I wasn’t particularly happy that I was the one who had gotten trapped instead. I rubbed a hand over my face. Moon goddess. I needed another book soon. Preferably before my brain completely shuts down from boredom. Surely, a pack this large had a decent library. The thought struck me so suddenly that I stopped pacing. A library. A new library meant new books. New books meant I wouldn’t have to read the same one for the hundredth time. For the first time all day, a spark of excitement rushed through me. I turned away from the window. I was going to find the pack’s library.

It has never been my goal to impress my sister with anything I do. I scroll through the books in the library until I come to my favourite section, Mystery. I always love the thrill that comes with not knowing what's going to happen next. You can make it more interesting for yourself if you start to wonder what is happening and what will happen. I take a few glances through the books on the shelves and take a book that looks the most interesting out of all the books I saw. 'In the Woods' by Tana French.

For a second, I just stared at my phone, breathing slowly as I tried to empty my mind. It didn’t work either. So I just did what I always did by opening my reading app, the moment my screen lit up, it felt like I was stepping into a different world where things made more sense. I began to move my fingers as I scrolled through updates, notifications and unfinished stories. And then I froze right there at the top when I noticed something. Inked Heart released a new book. “There’s no way I wasn't informed about this” I whispered, sitting down straight. I clicked on the book immediately.
