I still have so many papers to grade. One of the many ways
that I have dodged this task is to think about Valentine’s Day. You
internetters are so creative and give me so many opportunities to think about
how best to celebrate a bookish holiday.
First off, wouldn’t it be perfect to have a great Valentine
cocktail with your special someone? You can pick a great recipe
from Tequila Mockingbird: Cocktails With a Literary Twist by Tim Federle. My
pick would be, “”Are You There God, It’s Me, Margarita.”
I would also enjoy a fun book-themed Valentine, like this
one (from buzzfeed):
I was intrigued by the update at the very bottom of the referring article (“one valentine was removed due to questionable content”).
That sounds like one I need to see!
Speaking of questionable content, there are a bunch of
naughty ones in this article. Hemingway! Tolkein! I’m blushing.
I’m not sure how I’d feel if I received a Fifty Shades of Grey teddy bear, however.
And if you hate this holiday, there are options for you as
well. Check out Knit Your Own Boyfriend by Carol Meldrum:
Here's a description:
The
knitted boyfriend won't make a mess or steal the remote, and he comes with the
right clothes for every occasion. Knit Your Own Boyfriend offers a wide
selection of 13 eligible types: hipster, artist, rock star, doctor, skater,
outdoorsman, and more.
Whatever your feelings about Valentines Day, may good
chocolate accompany your reading in the week ahead.

Okay, so I totally commented on this post, like a week ago. I guess you will have to take my word for it.
I said I though the 50 shades teddy bear was a gross idea, and that my "valentine" had been told not to bring home any chocolates (as it was almost time for Girl Scout Cookies).
And there was something about books, but I can't remember what it was....
Thanks for the enjoyable posts!
