deercountry | Welcome to the Satellite of Love!

The Fiction section was huge, even larger than she and Luz could have hoped. It was completely worth it to use the bulk of what she had to trade for used books. They're books from any and all worlds imaginable, about anything and everything possible.

There are large sections of genre fiction, such as sci-fi/fantasy and mystery novels. There's even a decent selection of erotica, though that's closed off in a wood and glass bookshelf which requires Lexi's key to open.

If you approach Lexi with any questions about what to find or where to find it, she'll grin and be more than willing to escort you where you need to go to find it.

As with fiction, every possible subject from every possible world is covered in Non-fiction. Want to learn about the laws of physics in another dimension? Covered. Want to study the behavior of dinosaurs on a planet which still has them? Got that, too! Your basic chemistry textbook for children? Ready and waiting for a young, eager mind!

Feel free to ask whatever questions you wish, she'll help you find it!

Anything and everything can be found, there's a huge selection of Silver Age comics. It doesn't matter if the Silver Age is of Earth comics or one of a hundred thousand Earths and variations. Baby versions of super-heroes, super-hero pets, super-hero clubs, all of the standard Silver Age tropes are in there.

That's not to say that there aren't more modern comics as well, there are scantily clad bad girl comics, scantily clad bad boy comics, the Dark Age and its many variations and ones based on pop culture from any planet anyone comes from.

There are volumes which haven't even been published yet on some Earths, ones non-existent on others, and there's complete collections of hundreds of volumes. Shoujo and shounen are prevalent, but any genre, subject, romantic pairing, or level of smuttiness can be found.

Though, the smutty manga volumes are sealed in plastic and if you try to remove it, you'll find Lexi behind you, not even bothering to be subtle in her glare which says clearly "put that down."

But what is a bookstore without its surroundings? Well, still a bookstore, but clearly Lexi's coworker Luz has a few ideas to really make the place pop.

While Lexi is handling the actual book selling right now, Luz is making sure she gives it a proper LOOK. After last month's excursions, Luz has now made sure that the place is adorned with a few tentacle statues here and there, to make sure that they keep with a common theme. Some of them are small, but some are a bit bigger than Luz herself, brought over with the help of her friends Vira Lorr and Makoto. Around that, Luz also made sure to put up some pictures of libraries themselves, just to give an air of the arcane, and even put in a few of her own paintings for good measure! They're mostly based on Deerington, so Luz chose the less upsetting ones, as they tended to be less visceral. She's additionally putting up fun lights for people, which give off light blue and green, adding some of her own light glyph lights to sparkle out words like BOOKSHOP and READING IS FUN and LEXI'S NEW SHOP!

All in all though, Luz is having a fun time showing off her new job, and if you happen to interrupt her with a question while she's putting things up, she'll happily engage in conversation!

You did have to go downstairs to actually access the room, but once you did it was perfectly clear where you were. With this Luz had chosen to make things feel extra whimsical, with the carpeting extra plush and making sure there were several big cubbyholes for kids to curl up and read in. The room itself was extra colorful, with ladybugs and cats and cure anime creatures adorning the walls, positive messages about books in a few banners, and several chairs gathered around a big one for when there was a read along scheduled.

For this month, Luz had made sure to adorn the place in red, green, yellow and orange for fall, but was definitely edging into October with the sitting corner adorned more in black and orange there.

Oh, and as for the book read along? Luz had indeed chosen "Scary Stories to tell in the Dark" though she'd chosen the least intense stories for now since she was very aware of the affect it would have, them all being in Trench. Luz did like reading aloud to the kids though, and enjoyed doing the voices to make kids jump a little too!
