TOP 10 VALENTINE'S DAY BOOKS

It's that time of year again! Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and if you're looking for the perfect way to celebrate, look no further than these ten amazing books.

From classics like "Romeo and Juliet" to modern romances like "The Fault in Our Stars" and personalized books like “Will, My Love”, there's something for everyone on this list. But first, let’s have a look at where this holiday even comes from and who Saint Valentine was. 

1. Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare

Perhaps the most known love story in the world, Romeo and Juliet is one of Shakespeare's most popular plays. The story of two young lovers from different families who are forced to hide their love from the world is a timeless tragedy. While the play is full of tragedy, it also has some lighter moments that make it perfect for a Valentine's Day read.

If you're looking for a classic love story with a bit of everything, Romeo and Juliet is the perfect choice. The story’s been used as inspiration for countless movies, so after a nice read you can always curl up on the couch and watch a film adaptation, too.

2. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

Another timeless classic, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is one of the most popular love stories of all time. The story follows the lives of Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy, two people from very different social backgrounds who are forced to confront their prejudices against each other. As they get to know each other better, they begin to realize that they may have more in common than they thought.

Although Pride and Prejudice is set in the early 1800s, its themes of love, prejudice, and social class are just as relevant today as they were when the book was first published. If you're looking for a classic love story with a modern twist, Pride and Prejudice is the perfect choice for your Valentine's Day reading. The film adaptation starring Keira Knightly and Matthew Macfadyen was done very well and it received many accolades.

3. 10 Reasons I Love You by Hooray Heroes
