If These Pages Could Talk

The children's books would be running around outside, watched over by the firm guidance of the How-To section.

Meanwhile the Encyclopaedias would sit on the porch in their rocking chairs, mumbling about the war and 'in their day'.

Hunger Games would be in it's room listening to the Music Biographies with the other young adult novels.

Then once it got dark, the Cooking books would call them all inside for dinner before the Romance novels would do their duties of guiding the children's books to bed, and the Adventure novels would regale them with tales of daring-do before they'd fall fast asleep.

Of course single Aunt Mills & Aunt Boon would be downstairs making sure the YA novels weren't checking out the Softcore section.

Then we'd open the bookshop the next morning and it would all start again.

If all the world's a stage then I think our best storytellers should get to act out their lives too.
