Treat Yo Shelf: Valentine’s Gifts for When Your Bae is Books

(Is that right? Did I use “bae” right, trendmongers and #coolteenz of the internet? Please LMK!!)

Being in love is grand! The initial infatuation, the late nights together, the way the pages whisper when you turn them…really, the best long-term relationship in life is the one you have with books.
