"Book love is something like romantic love. When we are reading a really great book,
burdens feel lighter, cares seem smaller, and commonplaces are suddenly delightful."
—Steve Leveen
 The reward for making it through January is February. January is a long month, especially after a holiday retail season. The days are short but feel long. We make resolutions, lists of projects, books to read, and improvements to make. We look ahead to new books by Yann Martel, Joyce Maynard, and Diane Rehm, a compelling event with local author Brian Doyle, and more fun in the store as the days growing longer.
And then comes February. The month filled with the color red and love, flowers chocolate, glitter & cards, and did I mention chocolate?
When my dear friend Paula Hall lived on the Island she used to host the most lovely Valentines Day coffee. She would create this magical bakery world of pink and gold and red deliciousness in every room of her house. We would all stay as long as we could, not only to eat all the amazing treats but to soak in the smell and love that brought everyone there.
As the month of February begins, we hope you feel the love, eat the chocolate and smell the beauty.
Warmly,

Young at Heart
 Before you get to the adult section filled with star-crossed romance and epic tragedy, there are the love stories that still keep love innocent and pure. Perhaps because of those rose-colored lenses, kids and teens often like Valentine's Day even more than the grown-ups.
