This book makes me want to start my own tradition of sending valentines poems to my friends. This book was a quick read, both charming and lighthearted. I loved it and fully intend to reread it again and again. ♥️

This afternoon‘s poetry choice. I got the bookmark from a local artist at a ComiCon earlier today. I‘d never been to a ComiCon before, and this one was fairly small, but I actually thought that was a good thing, since it wasn‘t as much of an overload for all my senses. I‘m glad I went, even if the experience overall was underwhelming.
Thank you for all of the lovely #ValentineCardSwap cards & also the many accompanying stickers, bookmarks & other fun treats. They were a pleasure to look at & hang up at the end of a long workday Valentine‘s Day! 💕💖💕

1. I did send and give a few to friends and my daughters. I gave cookies in heart bags to my friend, @JenReadsAlot and the fam. My college kid got a nice care package today.
2. No, I think there are many people out there you never meet so one soulmate seems stingy, limiting :)
3. Knitting and reading all day with a nice dinner in, followed by pinball or other adventure.
@Eggs - thank you, I look forward to this every week🥰 #wondrouswednesday

@Eggs 😘
1. Yep ... quite a few, both ecards and snail mail cards.
2. I believe in all kinds of possible connections, and not necessarily just the passionate-love kind.
3. My #weirdword of the day: BED ROTTING with Matt + the pups. 😍
Anyone want to play? All are welcome! ❤️💜🩷
Here is an example of the line drawings by Robert Hanna, a Great Plains artist, that are included in Valentines. Kooser is from Nebraska.
I love the prairie landscape and to see how nature reclaims homesteads. ❤️
Ted Kooser is a wonderful poet! He writes a lot about the natural world and the simplicity of his writing makes his work accessible. Here is a poem from his little Valentine volume.
💕🦞
Maybe you have a date with your special person or maybe you have a date with a bookstore,or both!
Happy Valentines Day , everybody !❤️❤️❤️📚🎁
#LitsyLove valentines went out yesterday. Fingers crossed they arrive by tomorrow! 🤞💌📪💖
1. Celebrate my dog's 2 year "gotcha day" - no real specific celebration until Saturday
2. Hmmm, nothing specific to recommend - maybe a Katherine Center, Emily Henry, or Abby Jimenez book ?

1. We might go to lunch, and we're exchanging cards. 😍
2. From the Nebraska Press: “For Valentine‘s Day 1986, Ted Kooser wrote “Pocket Poem” and sent the tender, thoughtful composition to fifty women friends, starting an annual tradition that would persist for the next twenty-one years ... ⬇️
The first of my #ValentineCardSwap Valentines have arrived, and I was very excited to bust out my handmade Valentine bag from last year to put them in. I'm going to wait until Valentine's Day to open them all. 🥰💓💌📮@thebookhippie
Valentines going in the mail tomorrow!

1. Every year my dad gives me a large heart filled with chocolate and I love receiving it, the tradition of it. 🩷I love to give treats to others for Valentines/Galentine‘s - I‘m so caught up in red and pink, I miss helping my kids make their valentines boxes 🩷
2. I love a good coming of age story, The Body by Stephen King which Stand by Me was based. Chris and Gordy.

The cosmos is giving me some Valentine love for lunch today. 😍
Wishing everyone care & kindness today! 💕
Happy Valentine‘s Day, dear littens. It was a tough night in my beloved Michigan. Our loved ones are safe; thinking of those who aren‘t. But it was a gorgeous sunrise, and here we are. 🧡
I‘m in! I fell down on the last couple of readathons—grrr—so I‘m gearing up for a good second half of February. My goal is finishing my current read (Jerusalem Inn) + two more: And Justice There is None & Other Birds.
Your packages have shipped, @Littlewolf1 ! Mine should be there Thursday (pictured) and your other package should arrive this week too. It‘s coming from an Etsy shop in Kansas. #MugLove23
Valentines so far!
Thanks so much @TheBookHippie @MilesnMelodies @Pigpen_Reads @mamareading 🙂
#ValentineCardSwap
Another adorable valentine arrived! ❤️ Thanks Chelsea!
#Valentinecardswap
Lots of Valentine's going out today to my LitsyLove Friends. @StayCurious @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I am so blessed by this group
My February display at the library. I love doing the displays and my job!
@Catsandbooks I‘m sending several of my cards out in the mail tomorrow for #Valentinecardswap - the rest will go out on Tuesday as they‘ll require a bit of extra postage and I need to go to the post office. 💜♥️❤️
I've always wanted to try a mystery book date!
Thanks for hosting @Rachel.Rencher 💕

And we're still finding ❤ everywhere - it's like glitter at Christmas 🤣🤣🤣 ⬇️
Thank you for all the Valentines and stickers and tea! #litsyvalentineswap
♥️ Sadly, no. I'm on a #bookbuyingdiet so no purchases for myself, and no Valentine to buy one for.
♥️ I avoid romantic tropes when possible.
