Books to Fall in Love With 2016

Congratulations to the five winners of our Valentine's Day contest! These readers received a copy of each of our six featured books and some delicious Ghirardelli chocolate. Those who entered had the option of responding to the question “Who is your all-time literary crush?” which many of you answered, much to our delight. We had so much fun compiling your top 10 “Literary Loves and Lusts,” which you can see below. Many thanks to all who participated!

This year's featured Valentine’s Day titles are:

Week of February 1, 2016
