So, Which Valentine’s Read Are You Picking?
There’s no right way to read this week. It’s okay to DNF a book that doesn’t feel right. It’s okay to reread an old favorite instead of starting something new. And it’s more than okay if you only end up reading one book — that’s still enough.
Valentine’s Week doesn’t need a perfect plan. Just a good book that fits your mood that day.
