I feel my whole body relax like it only does when she's close. "You don't need to be embarrassed about reading dirty books. I've been doing it for years." she says and my head pops up and I stare at her to determine how serious she is. But I don't sense even hint of joking. How interesting. "Really? What kind of books do you like?" I ask and watch with fascination as an adorable blush creeps up her face. "Um... mostly small town romance. Single dad, friends to lovers, next door neighbors, things like that." she says a little shyly making me chuckle.

The moment she crosses the threshold and her feet met the cool, welcoming touch of her bedroom floor, she allows herself to sink onto her bed, the cushions yielding to her weight. With a deep sense of purpose, she extends her hand towards the book nestled on her bed, cradling it tenderly. Astrid could scarcely contain her curiosity, her fingers quivering with the exhilaration of the adventure awaiting her. As she opened the book, she was instantly transported into a world as captivating as the printed pages itself, where words spun tales of Supernatural beings beyond her wildest imagination. The book unveiled a hidden realm, one inhabited by nine extraordinary entities, each with its own uni

Present Day Emily lived by one rule: look good, work harder. A rule she had set for herself four years ago. Dressed in black pants and a tucked-in pink shirt, accompanied by a pink leather handbag—she stood in the lobby of City Pulse Press. Looking at her, one would think she feared nothing—but deep down, she panicked at the thought of what awaited her behind the doors of Carol's office. Carol was the only person in the building who could see through Emily's composure.

I need to take time. I remember the small room I entered last time. I slowly opened the door and turned on the lampshade. The books on the table were still scattered. I tried to look and read each one of them. These are all interesting books. Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer, The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, and a lot more. I tried to find something that might help me, but I found nothing.

his voice trailed off and the table became quiet. "Sasha! My name is Sasha." I spit out and left. It wasn't a very graceful exit as my belly was ridiculously large. I don't know why I got so upset. I usually let comments roll right off me. I just felt like everyone knew all these big secrets and I was left in the dark to be toyed with. I reached the library and grabbed some nonfiction books from the stacks. One about fairies, one about mate bonds, and one about omegas. These were more informational books than stories, which weren't as much fun to read, but I needed to stop feeling like I was a total idiot.

Avery realized that these people could live peacefully together when there were no benefits to be had. She came across an online novel by chance and browsed through it a few times. She wasn't too interested in tombs being stolen. Then one day she went to the bookstore to look up information and suddenly found the online novel on the bookstore's best-seller shelf, in the most conspicuous position.

I was shocked at first, books like that weren't supposed to be found at your school library, but I guess they really didn't give a crap here. It all started with fictional stories back at my former school, with my love for the male protagonist, I always had a fantasy for book boyfriends. He had to be tall, smart, charming, funny, nice and a bit shy. He had to treat me like a queen and tell me I'm beautiful even though I'm not. Books and painting were my escape. Ever since what happened, I turned to painting to free myself from that void solitude. But then I started searching for more books, I decided to go into the steamy novels, until I came here and discovered this section. Taking out the

He burst out laughing and began picking up the books I had dropped earlier. "What exactly are you looking for?" I sighed softly. "Some sort of book about mythical creatures, maybe I can finally find out about my true identity." Noah began helping me search through the piles of the books that fell. "Hey, what about this?" He asked curiously while holding up a book that had a flame on it. Ember jumped in excitement. "That's the one Freya open it!" She yelled inside my head. I got the book from Noah and opened the first page and she was right. There was a woman covered in fire just like me.

I didn’t hesitate. I pulled Fifty Shades of Grey first (cliché, yes, but I needed an entry point), then The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty by Anne Rice, Story of O, a slim volume called The New Topping Book just to balance it out, and two anthologies with titles like Bound Hearts and Surrender to Me. The stack felt heavy in my arms, like contraband. I carried them to the my corner and hid them under the table. I sat down, and opened the first book.

It’s becoming a collective voice—full of whispers that want to become conversations, and truths that have waited their turn to be received. The notebook titled “Letters That Waited” filled faster than Yam expected. It was a simple, unassuming object, yet it held the weight of countless emotions and stories. Some letters were long—three pages of vulnerability, scribbled across margins, each word a testament to the writer’s courage. Others were short, like the one written on a sticker that read: “I forgave myself today. It was weird. And good.” These snippets of introspection and self-discovery were like tiny seeds, planted in the fertile ground of shared human experience.
