Did you find literary love through Alikewise or Word Bookstore’s matchmaking board? If so, here are some suggestions for an unforgettable Valentine’s Day date.
First, woo your date with these literary quotes compiled by Flavorpill. They recommend this line from Oscar Wilde: “The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.”
Next, fly to Paris for a stay in Le Pavillon Des Lettres, a book-themed hotel. The New Yorker reports: “The twenty-six rooms, each named after a different author, from Andersen to Zola (the entire alphabet is represented, thanks to Queiroz and Xenophon), also boast iPads, WiFi, and a substantial library, and actually look quite nice.”
Finally, if you’re stumped for a last minute gift, try Enough About Love by Hervé Le Tellier. This French author definitely has a way with words and Other Press has offered a free download this week of his English-translated novella, The Intervention of a Good Man. (Photo Credit: Aurimas Rimša)
