The Best Pick-Up Lines to Use at a Bookstore

Rehana Munir’s new book Paper Moon is about a girl named Fiza, whose estranged father passes away around the same time she graduates from college. She discovers that he has left her a tidy sum in the hope that she will open a bookshop … Overnight, Fiza’s placid life is thrown into a whirl of decor decisions and book-buying sprees, unconventional staff and colourful patrons, small pleasures and little heartbreaks, as the store – Paper Moon – begins to take shape in a charming, old Bandra mansion.

We asked our followers on Twitter to send us some of their favourite and most ambitious pick-up lines that can be used in bookstores. We wish them the best of luck!

Excuse me, could you point me toward the Self-Help section? I need some advice on how to approach a gorgeous guy in a bookstore without seeming creepy #PaperMoon

I don’t think I would like to go through the table of contents any more because i have already found my LIVED HAPPILY FOREVER ending.

Don’t judge a book by its cover, but you can always judge a person after a coffee..isn’t it?

You ‘LITerally’ stopped my breath. Is your weekend ‘booked’? because I would like to ‘bookmark’ a date!

Are you a bookstore? Because I keep coming back to you.
