Storyline

It draws you in and captivates you. You are no longer just turning pages, but now you are part of the story traveling along with each twist and turn of the storyline. There is just something magical about a good book. It can take you on a journey, fall in love, discover new and exciting things, and so much more. Storyline socks were inspired by the plot twists of some of the recent books I have read. As characters start their journey they find themselves intertwining with each other in surprising ways.
