February is a month filled with love—whether it’s love for our friends, our partners, or even our favorite books! While February 13 is Galentine’s Day, a time to cherish friendships, and February 14 is Valentine’s Day, a celebration of romance, what about February 15? Well, last year, I floated the idea of Bookentine’s Day, a special day dedicated to the love of books. And you know what? I think it’s time to make it official!
What is Bookentine’s Day?
Bookentine’s Day is a day to celebrate the stories that make our hearts race, our imaginations soar, and our world a little brighter. It’s a day to appreciate the authors who craft these incredible tales, the characters who feel like friends, and the cozy reading moments that bring us so much joy. Whether you love swoon-worthy romances, edge-of-your-seat mysteries, or heartwarming small-town sagas, Bookentine’s Day is for you.
How to Celebrate Bookentine’s Day
If you’re wondering how to mark the occasion, here are a few fun and easy ways to celebrate:
📚 Treat Yourself to a New Book – What better way to celebrate than by adding a new story to your TBR? Pick up that book you’ve been eyeing, whether it’s a swoony romance, a cozy mystery, or an epic adventure.
☕ Indulge in a Cozy Reading Session – Curl up with a favorite read, a warm blanket, and a delicious beverage. Bonus points if there’s a candle flickering nearby for the ultimate bookish ambiance!
💌 Send a Bookish Valentine – Share the book love by recommending a favorite read to a friend or gifting a book to someone special. Nothing says “I love you” quite like a great story.
📖 Revisit a Favorite Bookish Couple – Whether it’s Elizabeth and Darcy, Anne and Gilbert, or a more recent favorite, spend some time with a literary couple who makes your heart flutter.
🎧 Listen to an Audiobook – Busy schedule? No problem! Enjoy Bookentine’s Day on the go with an audiobook while you’re driving, cooking, or taking a walk.
📚 Read The Book of Forgotten Angels – If you’re looking for a heartfelt and captivating read, consider diving into The Book of Forgotten Angels. A tale filled with love, mystery, and a very bossy cat, it’s the perfect book to celebrate Bookentine’s Day! It’s all about the joy of reading and the magic of finding books that are meant just for us. You can find it on Amazon or read for free when you sign up for my mailing list!
