It’s Valentine’s Day, and in honor of today’s chocolate-consumption, we’re posting some cute stuff.
Want to know more about Valentine’s Day? Credo Reference to the rescue!
TeenReads.com is offering a Valentine’s Day Book Boyfriend Quiz. Who will you get? I got Daniel from Fallen (and I was hoping for Sam from Hold Me Closer, Necromancer!).
Looking for some totally adorkable love stories? (Well, there is *some* romance. It just might not be the focus of the book … just read it. You’ll enjoy)
Bloody Valentine by Melissa de la Cruz. Three charming vignettes give you an update into the lives of the Blue Bloods (fanged and fabulous) after 2010’s Misguided Angel.
Five Flavors of Dumb by Antony John. You’ll never think of that shy marimba player the same way again.
Hold Me Closer, Necromancer by Lish McBride. Funny, gory, and utterly silly, Sam is delightfully clueless and charming.
Stardust by Neil Gaiman. Tristran promises the cold, beautiful Victoria that he’ll capture a fallen star for her. Then he meets the star.
Will Grayson, will grayson by John Green and David Levithan. Everyone needs to know (and love) Tiny Cooper.
Need a movie?
Ever After. A fabulous and frothy retelling of the Cinderella fairy tale. If you do not have a VHS player, it is available on DVD from other libraries.
The Princess Bride. We have … your Rats Of Unusual Size, shrubbery, sword fighting, the Dread Pirate Roberts, and Princess Buttercup.
Stardust. Not only is this movie based on the awesome novel by Neil Gaiman … it boasts a stellar performance by Robert DeNiro.
William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet. Romeo and Juliet in Venice Beach, California. Also, a very young Leonardo DiCaprio. We also only have this on VHS. If you absolutely positively only have a DVD player, talk to us and we can Inter-Library-Loan it for you in DVD format.
Have a Happy Valentine’s Day!
