Valentinesy Lovey Reads

In honor of February and St. Valentine, let's talk love stories! So here we have it, folks. The great YA-ish love stories of our time. The requirements for this list: the book has a hero and a heroine who, after a series of challenges, end up loving each other. That's it. Oh yeah, and happy endings are important. This is Valentine's Month, after all.

  1. I just wanted to add two books to Ashley's list, which, by the way--I LOVE!!!!!!! and totally agree with. It seems that we must have the same type of taste in literature. So here are my additions, though I know I am a little late.

    The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy

    The Anne of Green Gables books--Anne and Gilbert have to be one of my all time favorite couples.

  2. Fabulous additions. I haven't actually read "The Scarlet Pimpernel," but I love the old 1980s movie with Jane Seymour in it. If you haven't seen it, find it and watch it. It's hilarious. Though I don't know how it'll compare to the book. And as for Anne of Green Gables ... how could I have forgotten it? Terrible oversight. Thanks for adding it for us.
