The fresh smell of pages greeted me
the moment i entered the book store.
The foreign yet known feeling
soothing my messed up brain.
All my racing thoughts came to a halt
by the sight of numerous books.
I walked towards the rack on right
like I'm hypnotized by the new arrivals.
Going through each shelf to select one
enjoying the touch of book covers.
Many new novels and many genres
with each story unknown to me.
Among my new mysterious friends
selecting one trope is a difficult task.
I say Crime thrillers are my favourite
but they just remain in my tbr forever.
Fake dating, the same old story,
Paranormal romances are unrealistic,
Forced Proximity is mostly the same plot,
Marriage of convenience is too predictive,
Enemies to lovers is more of cringe stuff,
The Saint in me deny Forbidden romances
Sunshine girl grumpy boy is so...
