Hi lovelies,
Valentine's Day might be over but "love is on the air". While you might have had your share of Valentine's Day dinner and lunch dates, strawberries and champagne, everything heart shaped, lovely lingerie and what not, romance has filled the air and hearts of everyone. What better way to keep it going than a romantic read.
I managed to pick my TOP FIVE favorite books and thought of sharing these with you. If you have already read any of these how did you find them? Do drop in your comments.

2. A Lover's Dictionary: A Love Story in 185 Definitions
by David Levithan

How does one talk about love? We are all beginners when it comes to love, from those tentative first dates to learning how to live with, or without, someone. David Levithan's A Lovers Dictionary starts where we all once started - with the alphabet. Constructing the story of a relationship as a dictionary, Lavithan explores the intimacy and works of love through his nameless narrator, to paint a moving portrait of love through everyday words. Cleverly using the confines of language to provide an intimate window into the great events and quotidian trifles of being part of a couple, Levithan gives us an indelible and deep moving portrait of love in our time.
