So, I hear Feb the 14th was somewhat special right?

Someone in my fine city seems to agree:

 

I think it's a statement fueled by zeal, and not bile.  What do you all reckon?

I'm not really one for celebrating Valentine's Day - it always seems a bit forced and crass to me.  Thankfully the boyfriend agrees.  We're both of the mindset that if you want to do something special, do it on an ordinary day and then it will mean more, because you didn't need prompting to do it.

Anyway, I hope you all had a good weekend.

Tis the week of the romantic stuff, we're celebrating!

Well we are over at New readers... anyway.

This week will see lots of romance themed reviews going up.  This being a blog by James and I, the featured books will be less traditional boy meets girl, gets marrie, has lots of babies sort of thing, and more teenage ineptitude Japanese style, troubled lesbian relationships in 50s France, a bit of yaoi, some stories of Death and a Neil Gaiman inspired Gothic type story (my choice, don't want James getting the blame for an incongruous suggestion).

Check back tomorrow morning for a suggestion of books to buy, or if you can't wait that long, go to the romance themed tags.  Then check back later in the week as more and more reviews go up.
