A little beauty of a book that really does focus on the “science” of kissing! For that nerd-y love in your life that must know the whys and hows to every body act! And isn’t that cover simply divine?!?
And for that someone in your life who loves a good laugh, this collection of personal ads will make you appreciate having that special someone in your life!

To Bless the Space Between Us
We all know a child or know someone who knows a child, right? This gem of a book will be a priceless addition to any kiddo’s bookshelf….Snippets of poetry from Dickinson, Stevenson and the beloved Silverstein….I can recall my daughter, Gabrielle, memorizing passage upon passage of Silverstein’s poems and those books are treasured by her to this day!
Forget-Me-Nots: Poems to Learn By Heart
The Epic ~ Gone With The Wind
According to Goodreads, there are 182 books on the “Best Valentine’s Day Gifts” list….you’ll never guess which book is vying with Gone With The Wind for first place……Twilight! No, you probably guessed! I know I figured it would be on the list ~ just not quite so near the top!
So there ya have it my darling readers, the perfect book for just about everyone in your family and circle of friends! I hope this Valentine’s Day will be filled with laughter and love for you! (I know mine will be! Shh, don’t tell my boyfriend but I got us tickets to a comedy show for Valentine’s Day AND the personal ads book above!)
Maybe a dinner at home and a movie
The personal ad one looks funny! I will be alone for Valentines Day, Al will be at the auctions in Florida for our business …. I have a standing date at a friends house where we have dinner and drink wine. works for me
These are cute! Great list
Hardly anyone here of my generation celebrates Valentine’s Day! The Lola book sounds good.
Not much this year, I will just make a nice dinner and some dark chocolate truffles.

Well I already went all out in my preparations for this year and bought heart-shaped crackers! LOL
Our plans are to go out for a special dinner and then a good movie.
OMG what fun! I like your list.
What am I doing? Probably dinner and snuggle time with my honey after Baby Whimsy goes to bed. We do have a date night this weekend as an early celebration.
(not an entry)
Oh what a cute post! Thanks – I need to check out the personal ads one. It looks hilarious!
This Valentine’s Day, as with the past several, I will make a romantic surf ‘n turf dinner for my husband, drink some fabulous wine and cozy up to the fire and watch a movie. We used to do a big Valentine’s (like one spent in a ski lodge hot tub) but as long as we’re together, we don’t really care where it is.
A special dinner creation and then time together which is rare indeed and precious.
Oh I so want to read the personal ad one!
Great list of books.
We’ll actually be going to the symphony on Valentine’s day. I’m looking forward to it.
I don’t have any fixed plans just yet. We will have to wait & see.
Fun! I’m reading GWTW right now for bookclub, but I don’t own a copy. We have two small children, so my guess is we’ll repeat last year’s plans and cook dinner together after they go to bed. I’ll make my husband’s favorite Valentine’s Day dessert: Spicy Mexican Hot Chocolate Semifreddo!
Hubs and I keep is simple on Valentine’s Day with a card and a cuddle. I love GWTW but I already own it so Forget Me Not is the one I’d like.
I have been meaning to read Gone With the Wind for years now. I would love the chance to win it so I can read it
Valentine’s Day is all about the family. I love being with the people I love.
I have no plans yet. Hubby probably has to work. Please enter me in contest.
