Plotted Book Novels & Stories

Just from that, it was obvious. As she examined each book, she suddenly stopped when she opened one about flowers. She read through it, and because it was thick, she decided to check other pages. But when she started from the back, she was startled to find a notebook-sized insert with a white floral design. It was placed right between the pages, as if the book had been hollowed out or carved to fit the notebook. “What’s this? A secret notebook?” Atasha asked in surprise because the notebook was completely unnoticeable unless you flipped through the book. She took it out, closed the book, and then opened the notebook.

I whisper. This time, the tears don’t feel like weakness. They feel like healing. Like something finally beginning. ************************ Unspoken Desires - Book 3…. Coming Soon

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 ”

Malcolm let out a low chuckle and then turned his attention to me. "You are such an extraordinary being, Athena. The reason I need to know what you saw is because of this book." He said, holding it up to show me. The front of the book had a metal plaque on it. The writing glowed as I looked at it. It seemed to whisper to me, calling for me to touch it. Malcolm pulled it back onto his lap before I could even think to move my hand. "What kind of book is that?"

I can’t explain it, but I don’t have to, either, if I don’t bring it up, and I’m not one to ever start conversations. I sniff the paperback—old, musty paper, glue, and Justus—and set it on the pallet. The next book in the pile, Peter Kropotkin’s The Conquest of Bread, has a picture of two men chopping down a tree on the cover. It smells the same. All the books are dog-eared paperbacks with yellowed pages—Walden by Henry David Thoreau, Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler, Critique of Practical Reason by Immanuel Kant, several each by Ursula K. Le Guin and N. K. Jemison, and a massive hardback of Plato’s collected works. The Plato is the only one that looks like it hasn’t been read a hundre

She wouldn't mind checking everything out, or whatever called her attention. There was another shelf after the award shelf. A bookshelf. It didn't contain so many books, although he had something that hooked her attention. Book of art. Clinton had a black hardcover drawing book he called Book Of Art. He used it to draw his imagination. Anthony had one too, meaning he also had an eye for art.

After that he stood and left me in the room. Now barely an hour later he sends me a trunk full of books. Ella moved to stand behind me and I could hear her sharp intake of breath when her eyes landed on the books. "They're beautiful, right?" Ella only nodded her head and leaned down to touch the spines of one of the books. They weren't really books to be precise, well they were books but not really big ones, almost like journals, just bigger and fresher. The covers were embossed in a beautiful flower pattern, each color having a flower of its corresponding color on it.

"We have a playbook." "I know," Terry said, a faint, tired trace of his usual smirk returning to his lips, though it didn't reach his eyes. He reached out, his massive hand hovering in the space between them for a fraction of a second before he gently let his knuckles brush against the fabric of her trousers, just above her knee. The heat of the contact bled through the linen instantly. "But we're playing the Vipers tonight in their own barn, Eve. And when the puck drops, the playbook usually goes straight out the window."

Jacob laughed. “I’ll kick your ass too!” I said as I glared at him. “Kris! We have one more surprise for you.” Penny yelled from behind my front desk. “What?” I looked confused. She walked out carrying a massive book. I recognized what it was right away. It’s the type of book that you use for a portfolio. “You got me a new book?” “Kinda.” Penny showed me the cover.
