We Both Read Books Novels & Stories

I breathed with wide eyes. Elliott's eyebrows knitted with curiosity. "Is there a problem?" "I'm actually allergic to nuts too." "Wow, looks like we have a lot of things in common pretty lady," He grinned. I stroked the cat a bit as I watched Elliot ponder his next question. "Do you like reading books?" I nodded. "I'm more into the supernatural genre. Do you read books?" Elliot shrugged. "Seems like a boring hobby. I'd rather spend time in the gym," He grinned.

She was relieved I was here for the books and not something else. "Of—Of course, sir." Another swallow. Her gaze slid to my brow piercing, then fled. "Wh—What kind of books are we looking at?" "Anything," The word left my mouth before my brain stamped it. Rookie move. You don't walk into a store filled with over fifty categories and not have any in mind. She gave me a small, beady look—politely suspicious—and I knew I had to patch the hole. "My friends and I, we're doing sort of a reading challenge. For a week, we're meant to just read. The person with the highest number of books read gets an awesome reward."

You can read the book for curiosity's sake but not reading the book will not disturb the flow of the story so enjoy ! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

It was a beautiful vision, one that brought a sparkle to my eyes. Together, we carefully dusted the shelves, treating each book with care and reverence. As we arranged them, our hands occasionally brushed against each other, sending a gentle jolt of electricity through my veins. It was a subtle connection, a silent acknowledgement of our shared dreams and aspirations. With the library now clean and organized, we stood side by side, basking in the tranquility of the room. The shelves stood tall, their contents inviting us to delve into their pages, to explore the worlds they held within.

Makes humans rapted in an imaginary world, completely forgetting what reality brings. But I doubt so. I think books are more of an extension of real life happenings. Not a disease but a cure. Most people read books to escape reality and not to forget it. We don't get trapped in our own imaginations, we just foresee images that we want our lives to become. Saliently, we learn from books. If I can't associate with anyone, I thought at least I should be permitted to read books. After all, books can't capture the identity of the one reading it, can it?

Bella repeated shyly. "Haha.." Alec pinched Bella's cheek in exasperation. "You misunderstood me, Bella. I also read books, I like reading comics.” Alec reached for the books on one shelf. Bella likes reading novels, while Alec likes reading comics. The taste is quite different. "Comic is enough to see, no need to read right?" Tease Bella again. Alec laughed again. "Of course, I keep reading." This bookstore has a reading room as well as a cafe. For today Bella plans to spend time at the bookstore, they will also have lunch at the cafe inside the bookstore. Bella and Alec took their place to spend time reading each other's books of choice.

We studied late into the night. Axar yawning loudly and thumbing pages furiously as his young mind worked to retain every word he could. We passed the books back and fourth between us two, sharing the knowledge they held between us and arguing points out loud. We sit sprawled on the couches, books shroud the floor.

As I perused the books, I could feel Aidan’s gaze on me. The shop, much like the one downstairs, boasted an impressive selection. These were books to be enjoyed in the coffee lounge, not purchased or taken home. A smile tugged at my lips as I reached the romance novel section. So, Well Thumbed had these too. I wondered if they had hidden gems, perhaps something I hadn’t read or that Uncle Alex’s book club, Bound To Please, hadn’t discovered yet.

My brothers had always been there, Nana was there, Gelo and Mila were my partners, and these people in my school are friends I should cherish because they did not let me down. During weekends, Gelo would call my name from the outside of our house. We walked together to the lake and place a blanket near it. We will both read books for hours, sometimes giving comments while reading. I had dreamt of this before. A book date with someone I treasure the most. “You made me a reader. Though I still like watching movies and series, this hobby of reading is pulling me to it. There’s something with written words that I adore.”
