he gave her hand a gentle squeeze as they climbed the stairs. They moved further inside, entering a hall. Her breath hitched and she was suddenly very nervous as all eyes focused on them, remember when the female characters in the novels used to feel very uncomfortable and out of place at those high-class ballroom parties, yup I feel every single one of you, she smiled nervously.

“I don’t sleep much.” I should have stepped back, but I didn’t. The room seemed smaller with him in it, the walls pressing in as if to keep us close. He reached past me, plucking a worn leather-bound volume from the shelf. “This one,” he said, setting it on the table, “is worth losing sleep for.” It was an old history text, its pages brittle, the ink faded. He didn’t open it right away—just stood there, one hand resting on the cover, his gaze locked on me like he was searching for something.

I didn't know what to type, I just stared at his last message. Mystery man: So you are also a writer on Goodnovel, share me the l**k to your book. I will like to check it out. Me: Just type in itchy fingers or either My daughter's Nanny or Yes, master in the search space. I have two books on the platform, you can check any out. Mystery man: My daughter's Nanny? Is it romance? Me: Yes, of course. A mafia romance. Mystery man: I can tell you are an hopeless romantic.

However, contrary to her expectations, the woman gave her her account and said, "This is my account which was hacked. Due to it being hacked, I created a new account due to which I did not need it. You can take this. But by the way, can you tell me why you know so much about this novel?"

“I can’t imagine you were ever pampered.” “Not here, not really. We had so few servants. I like doing things for myself. One of my first evenings at a gentlemen's club… I was in the drawing room, sitting near the fire, enjoying a bit of brandy. An older gentleman, an earl nonetheless, was sitting nearby. He called a servant over because the fire needed stirring and a log added. And I thought, ‘If you’re chilled then get up off your bloody ass and stir the fire yourself.’ Here we never called a servant into a room to take care of something we could take care of ourselves. It was both enlightening and disturbing once we began moving about in New York.”

“Sometimes I shelve by conversation instead of alphabet. Alphabet is for finding. This is for discovering.” Delphine turned and looked at her. “You rearrange when you get new stock.” “When the new stock changes the conversation.

Allan picked up the only novel there which was in the far right corner almost covered by Allan's other tomes. Allan wasn't used to reading novels, just looking at the title made him lazy. 'Journey of Love?' Allan frowned. "Aish! What is this book? Never mind, it's better than nothing! Who knows, it might help me fall asleep!" Allan took the book which wasn't thick and returned to his recliner and started reading. At first he was lazy to read it but over time Allan was immersed in his new book, because the novel book was thin enough that Allan, who was used to reading thick Business and Management books, was able to finish it in a short time. Allan closed it. And looked towards the book.

The novels were harder to characterize. They were not genre novels and not literary novels in the specific and self-conscious way of novels that were aware of being literary.

Sir Walter Elliot, of Kellynch Hall, in Somersetshire, was a man who, for his own amusement, never took up any book but the Baronetage; there he found occupation for an idle hour, and consolation in a distressed one; there his faculties were roused into admiration and respect, by contemplating the limited remnant of the earliest patents; there any unwelcome sensations, arising from domestic affairs changed naturally into pity and contempt as he turned over the almost endless creations of the last century; and there, if every other leaf were powerless, he could read his own history with an interest which never failed.
