Short Story #30: Bookfest

Nancy could not contain the excitement building up in her. This was the day she looked forward to every year without fail. It was the annual bookfest and for this year, it was held a few blocks away from her house. She was so excited that she could not sleep the previous night.

Ask any of her friends and family members, and you would get an unanimous answer that Nancy loved books very much. In her room, her four-compartment bookshelf were filled with books to the brim and she was still adding to her already huge collection. Not surprisingly, she also frequented the library, sometimes using her family members' library card in order to borrow more books.

Once Nancy arrived at her destination, she seriously squealed with joy and hurried to the fiction section. She browsed through dozens of books and filled her basket to the brim with books of varying thickness. One would wonder how she was able to lift all these home without breaking a sweat. However, Nancy could not care less at how much she would have to carry back home. Her love for books definitely trumps the inconvenience of lugging the heavy books home.
