Chapter Four: Page Turners

The crew settles in with drinks and finally gets a moment to breathe after a long day. They share what they are reading now, what is waiting on their shelves, and how their different tastes shape the rhythm of running Middle Ground Books and Gifts in Emporia KS. It is a soft, late night conversation with the lights turned low, a family style moment in their own bookstore, talking about the stories that match their moods as much as their personalities.📖 The Covered Pages:“Flatland” by Edwin Abbott Abbott“The King in Yellow” by Robert W.
