Valentine's Day Book Suggestions

I don't know about you, but reading books gets me excited for different holidays, whether it be reading Christmas stories to the little ones in my family at Christmas time or reading about the Passion and Resurrection at Easter. But what is good to read near Valentine's Day? For a Catholic, romance novels are out (I don't know how anyone like those ditzy things anyway) but there are some books that always excite me for the idea of love, not just in a romantic sense, but in a general sense. So, without further ado, here is my list of Valentine's reading suggestion:


  • Little Women, Louisa May Alcott ~ This is the perfect example of a true book on love. Everyone in this book loves each other, albeit in different ways.
  • The Scarlet Pimpernel, Baroness Orzy ~ Goodness, this is my very favorite book! It's really a romance in disguise as an action novel. The love that grows between two characters in this book is breath taking. 
  • A Tale of The War of The Roses (Grisly Grisell), Charlotte M. Yonge ~ Another of my favorite books, it shows love from the point of view of one that gives much and receives almost none. 
  • The Mystery of Love for the Single, Fr. Dominic J. Unger ~ My mother gave me this book as a joke earlier this week and though I haven't read all of it yet, it is certainly wonderful for those who are depressed about being single on Valentines. 

    I hope you aren't disappointed by the shortness of the this post but I didn't have a lot of time this morning. Love you all and have a Happy Valentine's Day!!!
