Love is in the Air - Bookcast Newsletter
Love Is in the Air, Bookcasters!
Hey there Reader,
It's February and that means we've been staring at heart-shaped candy and cards in the stores for about 5 weeks now. Of course it's time for Valentine's Day, so that means it's also a perfect time to think about love stories.
I asked booksellers from all over the state to give me some of their favorite love stories to share with you. These aren't just "romance" novels, but books across multiple genres and levels that feature great love stories.
Check out the list and then head to your favorite local bookstore to pick up a copy.
