OPEN TO: everyone

LOCATION: the story book

Nancy’s finger trailed across the spines of the books as she walked between the shelves, trying to find something to read. It had been a while since she picked up a book, but she wanted to get back into it. The only trouble was, every book was interesting, and she had no idea where to start. Her eyes fell on someone with an open book in their hands, and she sidled up to them.

“You look like you know a thing or two about reading. Recommend me a book,” she said confidently, not phrasing her words as a question. 

Despite being a mediocre student, Olivia did enjoy reading on her own terms. Growing up, she always found something more worthy of her spare time. It wasn’t until she hit her late twenties that her idea of a “worthy” use of time flipped from going out to the club to spending more time in the comfort of her own home. Or going out in the daylight to explore her surroundings. The Story Book was one place on her list for the day, she just cracked open the spine of Paula Hawkins Into the Water when someone sidled up to her. Olivia arched a brow, “What kind of books do you like? I’m not into highbrow literature as a fair warning.”
