SAINT VALENTINE’S DAY “MUST READ”S AND “MUST WATCH”S!

  • by

Hola Amigos!

Tomorrow is Saint Valentine’s Day here in the U.S., so today I wanted to share with you my favorite books about love and what I planned to read next. I don’t read much romance so you’ll notice most of these books are of other genres but they still have wonderful love stories! I like a lot of tension and angst in my stories so many of them are about forbidden love. 🙂

These lovers SHOULD NOT be together! They are either closely related or belong to different species!

READ FORBIDDEN OR ATYPICAL ROMANCE

Angelfall
Flowers in the Attic
Forbidden
The Mermaid

There is tonsa of tension and conflict in these historicals. These lovers are separated by obstacles that seem impossible to overcome imposed by the social and political structures where they live.

BEST LOVE STORIES

Gone with the Wind
The House of the Spirits
Like Water for Chocolate

These are my favorite couples:

FAVORITE COUPLES

First Grave on the Right
Scarlet

These are love stories I found VERY problematic and I REALLY disliked:

LOVE STORIES I DISLIKED

All the Ugly and Wonderful Things
Me Before You

And these are the book about love I’d like to read next:

TBR ROMANCE

American Dreamer
The Art of Hearing Heartbeats
Broken Prince
Chocolat
Eleanor & Park
The Elite
Firefly Lane
The Girl Who Chased the Moon
Graceling
The Hunt
Jane Eyre
The Last Song
Little Big Love
Memoirs of a Geisha
The Memory Book
Message in a Bottle
Outlander
Pandemonium
Paper Princess
The Perfect Husband

As far as screen adaptations, these are my favorites. Enjoy the trailers!
