A Young Adult Book Author’s Top Ten Ideas For Valentine’s Day

  1. Spend the entire day speaking in nothing but conversation heart phrases. Not sure how much you’ll get done, but it’ll be interesting!
  2. Host a virtual “Galentine’s Day”  Party – celebrate your besties with a safe, socially distanced soiree.  (Don’t think I’ve forgotten about the men – yours is a Palentine’s Day Party – you’re welcome!)
  3. Grab a box of Kleenex and watch “An Affair To Remember” – the sweetest and saddest love story ever.  A cautionary tale of how cellphones not being invented almost ruined their lives.
  4. Send flowers to someone you love – your husband, your grandma, your sister.  Today is a day to celebrate any kind of love, not just the hot, sexy stuff.
  5. See how many chocolates from that heart-shaped box you get can fit in your mouth at once.  Bonus challenge – make sure at least one of those pieces is a chocolate-covered caramel.
  6.  Tell the special people in your live that you love them. Life gets busy, especially in these weird pandemic times. Take a moment to connect with your loved ones and let them know how special they are to you.  
  7. Get out your scissors and glitter and make an old-fashioned valentine for your sweetie.  Homemade gifts are the best!
  8. Learn how to play Hearts.  Best card game ever!
  9. Bake a heart-shaped anything – cookies, cake, pancakes.  
  10. Get the book lover in your life a copy of Rising Starand celebrate their love of reading!

Happy Tuesday & Happy Valentine’s Day!💕
