Authors Celebrate Valentine’s Day with #valentinesyourbook

Whether you celebrate Valentine’s Day or Galentine’s Day, or glare at capitalism and couples while wishing you shot lasers out of your eyeballs, we can probably all agree on our love for books. I mean, that’s why we write about books and you read about books and we all read books! So I was delighted to discover #valentinesyourbook had started on Twitter, where authors use the classic “Roses Are Red” format to describe their book. Fun! Here are some of my favorites so far (some are under #valentineyourbook without the “s” cause thumbs man):

Her rose is quite red
Her fire so blue
If you are a monster
She's coming for you#valentinesyourbook #ashadowbrightandburning https://t.co/keKnG05fLr

Roses are red.
An owl with one wing.
My family has a secret.
That I hear when trees sing.#valentineyourbook

Roses are red.
She used to be dead.
Now she’s alive,
But she’s different inside.

Roses are red,
Wild they grow tall,
Revolution will start
At the vile border wall.#ValentinesYourBook

Roses are red
Blood is magic
I just want to be loved
It's really quite tragic.#KellValentine

Dead girls and curses
And blood in glass shoes
Some fairy tales
You don't want to come true#TheHazelWood #ValentinesYourBook (Or is it #ValentineYourBook?)
