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— Jesskier (@JessCluess) February 13, 2018
Witches are red
Haints are blue
No need for blessed salt

Life has been rough

So now I steal stuff.#valentineyourbook— Rebecca Phillips (@RebeccaWritesYA) February 13, 2018
Roses are red.
She used to be dead.
Now she’s alive,
But she’s different inside.

You're all killing me with the #ValentinesYourBook. And I mean actually killing me because I started the poems to draw attention to my cover reveal tomorrow but now they're everywhere and I can't even be mad because they're so adorable. pic.twitter.com/dEVpzPPwDe
