I close the book with a contented sigh.

LIES!

I actually had to restrain myself from flinging it out the window. Not because it was bad, but because it was that good.

Carefully, I put it back where I pulled it out from last night and step back so I can see all my books

Carefully, I put it back where I pulled it out from last night and step back so I can see all my books. Over the years, I've collected my books and created my own personal library, except there's not a single book I haven't read twice. Time to go shopping for more, I guess.

It's a nice library, because I've got the must-haves like the Hunger Games, Harry Potter, Divergent, etcetera. Then I've also got the must-not-haves, who's titles I refuse to mention. Then there's all the books in between, the ones no one's ever heard of, the classics, the ones with a fandom of two, and all that. It's nice.

I grab my bag and house keys and leave after making sure there's no way anyone can get in and do something drastic with my children

By children, I mean books.

The walk to the local bookstore would've been pleasant if not for a certain narcissist.

"Donna, I am everything you could ever want! Just one date and you'll be unable to say no ever again!"

I roll my eyes and ignore him. Carter Oscar thinks he's the most sexiest guy in town, when he's not.
