Books to Fall in Love with this Valentine’s Day
Somehow, it’s that time of year again. The holidays have passed. The days are cold and dark, and we all need something to look forward to. Enter Valentine’s Day!! Sure, this love-themed holiday sometimes gets a bad rap, but I’m here to defend it!
Firstly, we all—at least those of us who don’t ski—need something to tide us over until Spring springs. Secondly, why hate on love? Love can be so many things! Also, Valentine’s Day, when done correctly, involves candy and sweet notes. Who hates on candy and sweet notes?!? So, to celebrate this most loveable of holidays, I have a list of books you will absolutely fall head-over-heels in love with.
Tip: to elevate the experience, read with a box of chocolates, a flute of Martinelli’s, and a bouquet of red roses by your side.
I Was Told There Would Be Romance asks the important questions. Like, what if it’s all a LIE???? My hero Fancy Augustine grapples with this very question. Has she been duped by romance novels? Is it possible that her best friend can have a secret boyfriend and she’ll be single forever? To discover the answer to these critical queries, you’ll have to read this hilarious book. No spoilers here!
I have heard it said that Games Untold is the most romantic book set in the Inheritance Games world, and I couldn’t agree more! If you’ve read any of the other Inheritance Games books, then you’ll appreciate what a high bar that is. Games Untold digs deeper into the love stories of your favorite couples. Of course, there’s Jameson and Avery. But also, Nash and Libby, Hannah and Toby, and so much more! It’s utterly romantic while also being unbelievably fun!
Romantasy is the most powerful movement in the world. (Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating. But it is a powerful movement!) It heightens the stakes, deepens the romance, and gives readers a whole new world to fall in love with. The Forest King’s Daughter does all this and more and should be on any and all romantasy fans’ TBRs. It’s action-packed, ethereal, and devastatingly romantic.
The Princess and the Grilled Cheese Sandwichwill literally melt your heart. And I do mean literally! Have the doctor on speed dial!! It’s the cutest graphic novel you ever did read. Filled with fabulous fashion, a tale of mistaken identity, romance, and cheese, CHEESE, and more CHEEEEESE. You will gobble this delicious story up and want seconds before you’ve even finished.
