A Valentine Book Club
Valentine's Day is not just for classroom parties and celebrating lovers. Here are some sweet ideas for book loving friends and must read romantic novels to go along with it
“You can transmute love, ignore it, muddle it, but you can never pull it out of you. I know by experience that the poets are right: love is eternal.”
A Room with a View ~ EM Forster
Be still my bookish heart ideas
- Have an Italian theme dinner with pasta as the main course and friends will bring the salad, wine and bread. Read The Shoemaker's Wife, Enchanted April or A Room With a View by EM Forester with an Italian landscape as your setting
- Dessert only book club - Have everyone bake or bring a sweet treat and decorate your table with quotes of friendship and or love for an added bookish touch. Read historical fiction with more romance and passion such as - Like Water for Chocolate, Outlander, or newer fiction like, Next Year in Havana
- A wine, cheese and hors d'oeuvres book party - Bring your favorite bottle of pinot noir or appetizer and for a more bookish flare apply our ideas for do-it-yourself wine labels - see below. Pair your Valentine book party with a true story or classic novel suggestions - also below!

- Is this love for real? Biographies, true love or based on stories that will sweep you away. The Paris Wife, My Dear Hamilton: A Novel of Eliza Schuyler Hamilton, Becoming Mrs. Lewis
- Classic sweethearts - Some of these novels are almost one hundred plus years old but have eternal love, determination and will stand the test of time. Read Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre, Lorna Doone and The Scarlet Pimpernel
