Jamie Canavés is the Tailored Book Recommendations coordinator and Unusual Suspects mystery newsletter writer — in case you’re wondering what you do with a Liberal Arts degree. She’s never met a beach she didn’t like, always says yes to dessert, loves ‘80s nostalgia, all forms of entertainment, and can hold a conversation using only gifs. You can always talk books with her on Bluesky, Litsy, Goodreads, and her newsletter Multitudes Contained.

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): https://twitter.com/justinaireland/status/963471543186665472 https://twitter.com/zlikeinzorro/status/963435194509414400 https://twitter.com/yesitshanna/status/963446723774304256   https://twitter.com/clairelegrand/status/963459405974003712 https://twitter.com/RebeccaWritesYA/status/963449543823183872 https://twitter.com/RebeccaPodos/status/963445598857957377 https://twitter.com/ek_johnston/status/963545409233731584 https://twitter.com/sabaatahir/status/963539116049678336 https://twitter.com/ElleOnWords/status/963461244869951488 https://twitter.com/kierstenwhite/status/963546821762035712
