Reading Book Journal Novels & Stories

My Mother's Journal. I paused, wondering when last I read it. Although it was just a tiny old book, I was never able to complete reading it. It was like the pages were changing with new stories day by day. I carefully slid it out before trailing to my desk holding a lit candle. Making it the only illumination in the room. The way I liked it. I ran my fingers slowly around the brown book cover for minutes before finally opening its contents. "Rose," I read in my mind. I heaved a sigh, already certain I was going to have another emotional ride.

As I perused the shelves, my eyes landed on a weathered journal, its pages filled with untold stories. I carefully opened the journal, my fingers trembling with anticipation. The pages crackled under my touch, revealing a glimpse into Alexander's life—a life he had chosen to keep hidden, even from me. The words on those pages painted a picture of a complex and enigmatic man, a past fraught with secrets and shadows.

Jace DAYS BEFORE The bed creaked in protest as I reached for the leather-bound journal which had turned into a close companion for the last couple of weeks. Forbidden knowledge had been inked into every page with intentionality I could only thank the author for. I opened to the page I had dog-eared for days, sinking into the information there.

I leaned against the frame, counting to ten before my mother let out an audible huff, and her footsteps retreated back to her room. I waited another minute, making sure she was gone back to bed, before I pushed off the door and curled into my bed, clicking on my bedside lamp and pulling out my sister's journal. I studied the front of the book before my curiosity won over, and I flipped open the book. This journal was pretty new, the first dated page being just a few months ago. I read over the page, flipping it from one day to the next. Everything seemed pretty normal, from her days at work to the plans she had with her friends.

I jotted back a quick thank you. I walked into the living room. The wall opposite the kitchen was entirely shelved with books and journals, old diaries collecting dust. Classics, contemporary… you could read a new book the entire year without repeating. My fingertips grazed over old, embroidered leather covers and brilliantly decorative dust jackets. Here, I could stay in this room forever, lounging below the wide cabin window like a lazy house cat near the heat of the crackling fire. I opened a random book to a dog-eared page which was folded to an entry dated, November 5th.

He looked at Brynn. “Together.” “Together.” They read it that afternoon, in the lady’s study, with the door closed. Wynn brought tea and left without speaking. The journal was the size of Brynn’s hand, the writing small and neat, the kind of writing a healer of thirty years’ practice produced when her mind was clear. They read in silence, taking turns at the slow careful pace of two readers sharing one book. By the third hour they had reached the entries that mattered.

Before he could ask anything, he noticed the thick, black journal sitting on the coffee table between them. "What’s going on?" Christian asked, his gaze flicking between them. Ruth swallowed hard. "You need to read this." She pushed the journal toward him, her hands visibly shaking. Christian hesitated only for a second before picking it up. He flipped through the first few pages, his brows furrowing as he skimmed through the words. As he read, his expression darkened. Minutes passed, the only sound in the room the quiet rustling of pages. Then, with a sharp exhale, Christian slammed the journal shut. His jaw tightened, his grip so firm that his knuckles turned white.

My friend had done a good job putting the library together, organizing the books by subject, with like topics together on each shelf just as I’d requested. I had also ordered several journals and notebooks for note-taking. These were stacked in a tidy pile on the top shelf. I selected a black suede journal and took it to bed, where I eased myself into a comfortable position. It was crazy how little activity it required, this week, to make me desperate to get my feet elevated. “Okay,” I said, flipping open to the journal’s first page and compulsively writing today’s date in the upper right corner. “I’m making notes about questions to ask her, before she and I meet back up to talk about the ca

I entered mine, went through the three books I had gotten from the store, and set them down on the bed. I folded my arms and read their names. The Claiming Rites, Finding the One, and Under the Red Moon. There was no order in which anyone should read these books, so I sat down and picked up The Claiming Rites. After an hour, I finished reading. The book made zero sense, and then I picked up Finding the One and spent another hour reading through it. While the first book was incomplete, the second made a little more sense. I picked up the third, which I had gone to Zion’s room with. I took my time reading, and another hour went by.
