FOR YOUR VALENTINE

February 12, 2010

The ladies of Bear Pond present our favorite gift ideas for your Valentine:


Amanda’s Picks:

Sexually I’m More of a Switzerland A follow-up to They Call Me Naughty Lola, the brutally self-aware and hysterical personals ads from the London Review of Books.

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte for the truly romantic in all of us

Lynne’s Pick:

Why My Third Husband Will Be a Dog by Lisa Scottoline Believe it or not Lynne’s the staff romantic!

Jane’s Pick:

The Ballad of Valentine by Allison Jackson A sweet children’s picture book with great illustrations – and a pig.

Suzanne’s Pick:

Six Word Memoirs on Love and Heartbreak by Writers Famous and Obscure Some funny, some touching, all clever.  Let your imagination wander with: “Bachelor Visits Library, Books Wife (Non-Fiction)”

Mary’s Pick:

The dark chocolate truffles by Home R Truffles, made by local chef (and Jane’s husband) Paul Knight.  It’s hard for Mary to focus on books when there’s chocolate on the front counter.

Claire’s Pick:

Asian Dumplings by Andrea Nguyen What could be more of a romantic gesture than making your little dumpling a nice plate of Chinese Chive Dumplings?
