We here at Mentor Library enjoy cashing in on the spirit of love almost as much as the guy who invented Sweetest Day. So, of course February's flavor of the month had to be Romance. I know I'm looking forward to some quick reads that end happily. But in case you are looking forward to reading a romance as much as you are looking forward to spending 5 times the amount for a bouquet of flowers bought any other time of the year, here are some romances for people who don't read romances. You can also find this list and more like them on our Reader's Wall located by the computers at the Main Library.The Opposite of Love by Julie Buxbaum
