With or without a significant other, Valentine's Day can still be a day of romance. Just curl up with a good book and lose yourself in love. Because romance isn't only about candy hearts, diamond rings, and flowers. Sometimes true romance is a 12-mile sleigh ride in the freezing cold, or a stolen chicken. So, here's a list of my 10 Favorite Stories of Love and Romance:
- The Blue Castle by L.M. Montgomery
- Snow in April by Rosamunde Pilcher
- A Room With a View by E.M. Forster
- Precious Bane by Mary Webb
- Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
- Beauty by Robin McKinley
- The Dark Queen by Susan Carroll
- Nine Coaches Waiting by Mary Stewart
- These Happy Golden Years by Laura Ingalls Wilder
- A Town Like Alice by Nevil Shute
(P.S. They're even better when read with a box of Sees Chocolates.)
Happy Valentine's Day!
Hey, I have actually read two of those! Not to mention I saw the movie versions (5 and 10). pretty good for a dude.
ReplyDeleteI have read 7! Not sure I am familiar with the stolen chicken story, though, so I guess I had better keep reading. This is a great list (especially because I have read most of them). Love the great posts on your blog!
