Book Chat Chapter 1 - The Bookstore

Novel : Veronica's Book Chat
Author: E Verna Turner

The story revolves and evolves around Veronica Turner. She inherited a bookstore formerly owned by her grandmother. The bookstore is located in the Shopper's row close to the bus station. Her grandma was a very friendly woman. She had lots of friends who frequently stopped by and had a book or two and a refreshment in her store. They are the loyal customers of Veronica nowadays.

The book store offers new and old books, textbooks, pocketbooks, vintage books, atlas, dictionary, encyclopedia, small books, even big books. Books of all kinds, shape, sizes and color and also books in denominations. Aside from library of books the store offer marvel comics, new and classic, souvenir stuff, post cards, posters and educational items.

There are lounge area - sectional sofa where you can sit and relax to read the books you love to read. You have to rent the books though. Because it's a book store not a library.

Two desks with computer machine and printer on it. Private booths if the customer wants to have privacy in reading or researching. Those extra additional features for the business. Veronica thought that could help attract more readers and clients to her store.

Her own teenage kids helped in the store as clerks. This store is where her kids derived their allowance for their schooling. Not a bad idea. Actually such a good one. Teach them the value of money by having them have an "occupation" at a very young age.

If you're asked the difference about a job and an occupation just tell them job is part time and it's an "odd" and having an occupation is "life time" as in being "occupied all the time."
