HOW DOES A BOOK LOVER CELEBRATE VALENTINES DAY?
If we follow the line of cliche' thinking and expect a run on romance novels during February we'd be way off the point. Romance novels are picked out by romance readers and it doesn't matter what time of year they're looking.
So we checked the sales records and member emails from last year and discovered the most popular gift request was a gift of quiet time and a Starbucks® Gift Card. Most already had the book they wanted. What they longed for was the space and time alone to READ as long as they wanted to.
None of us were surprised, of course -- that's our favorite around here, too. And to help you out, we've added Starbucks® to our lineup of advertiser links so you can place your order while you're reading.
But more than one member emailed that she really wished for an afternoon off from work. That's one kind of gift no one else can give you; you have to give it to yourself. So when you can, remember to do it!
This month check out February's Book of the Month pick --- Sandra Brown's "Hawk O'Toole's Hostage " is a real captivating Romantic adventure.
