So, Valentine's Day rolls around again. How am I going to celebrate? I'm going to read a mystery novel. Gareth and Gwen's The Fourth Horseman, to be exact. But what are you going to do? Romantic dinner for two? Enough candy to make you sick? If you are A: Not 20, so unable to do the romantic dinner thing or B: Not 5, so you have more common sense than to eat too much, than I have the option for you.
Romance Novel!! Duh! This is going to be like my snow day reads list, except ROMANCE NOVELS. This list will also be significantly shorter, since I avoid most romances when I can. These are the ones that I highly recommend, however.
The Princess of The Midnight Ball & co. by Jessica Day George
The Last Pendragon & The Pendragon's Quest by Sarah Woodbury
The Nine Princesses by Anita Valle
The Iron Peacock by Mary Stetson Clarke
Mara, Daughter of the Nile by Eloise Jarvis McGraw
Seven Daughters and Seven Sons by Barbara Cohen and Bahija Lovejoy
The Sherwood Ring by Elizabeth Marie Pope
NOTE: The main plotlines if these books may not be the romance, but they inevitably end with someone kissing, someone proposing or someone getting married. That should keep you lovebirds occupied for a long while.
OTHER NOTE: These are romance novels, so there is some...behavior...to be expected. Books of warning are Mara, Daughter of the Nile and Seven Daughters for Seven Sons. This last has a questionable description that should bother young men especially.
Felíz Dia del Cariño!!

Thanks, Annabelle! I'll check some of those out.
ReplyDeleteActually, I'd like to add a bit to this list with "Pride & Prejudice" by Jane Austen. It's a really cute love story.
DeleteI am in the middle of Pride and Prejudice right now, so I didn't quite feel qualified in suggesting it one way or another. Thank you, though! I didn't feel quite right with only seven titles on my list!!
