### My Picks for Valentine's Day

Romance! Bah, who needs it?

Well... ME!

So in honor of Valentine’s Day, here is a list of books that have many, many excellent qualities, but are seriously worth reading for the romance alone. Squee and enjoy!

The Clearing

, by Heather Davis

Time-travel romance! Modern-day girl falls for a 1940s guy, and his old-fashioned speech patterns are downright swoon-worthy. Also, his mother bakes biscuits. This book made me swoony AND hungry.

Forgive M

y Fins

, by Tera Lynn Childs

Despite herself, a half-human, half-mermaid finds herself falling for a total bad boy with a heart of gold when they become inadvertently bound together by mermaid law. Yes!

G

raceling

, by Kristin Cashore

Oh, the banter- the witty, charming, adorable banter! I could read Katsa and Po dialogue forever and not tire of it.

The Mediator

series

, by Meg Cabot

He’s a hot cowboy ghost, and he haunts her bedroom. He calls her “querida.” Commence the swooning!

The Goose Girl

, by Shannon Hale

The romantic leads in this lyrical fairytale retelling are both hiding their identities and are so obviously MFEO.

T

he Mortal Instruments

series, by Cassandra Clare

Forbidden romance in the most forbidden way possible. But you know it’ll work out somehow- it HAS to!
