Hi Everyone! I hope you had a nice Valentine’s Day. I have to tell you, I love when February 14th rolls around. Everything about it spells fun. The pink, white and red decorations covering the walls, the cute conversation hearts, the chocolate. And of course……. The romance!!! So, to celebrate and keep it alive for one more day, I asked some of my favorite authors for their favorite quotes about Romance and Love. I received awesome responses! Some quotes are from their characters, some quotes are from other authors and there’s one or two in there from real life. To make the party extra fun, I added some of my favorite quotes from Shakespeare. It’s a virtual Valentine’s Day Party! I hope you enjoy!
