february bookshelf
Originally uploaded by telfandrea.
Predictably, my February bookshelf revolves around love and romance and marriage. Some are included for the titles alone -- like the 1971 classic I Am So Glad You Married Me, bought for $.25 at a library book sale. And no love bookshelf can be complete without that ode to the most horrific of honeymoons - On Chesil Beach. Love is complicated.
