For Valentine’s Day, I’m sharing a few of my favorite “romantic” scenes from books. Feel free to toss your favorites into the comments.
- When Anne breaks a slate over Gilbert’s head.
- When Professor Bhaer shows up in Jo’s home town.
- When Calvin kisses Meg.
- When Mary and Dickon first meet.
- When Hermoine tells Ron he has “the emotional range of a teaspoon.”
Happy Valentine’s Day!
