Valentine's eBook Giveaway!

The origins of St. Valentine's Day can be traced back to an early Christian saint named Valentinus, who was said to have been imprisoned for performing weddings for soldiers who were forbidden to marry. This lovely notion may have led way to the first romantic "valentine" verse, which was written in the 15th century by Charles, Duke of Orlean to his wife, which said: I am already sick of love, My very gentle Valentine.

By the late 1700's, paper valentine's containing sentimental verses for the young lover unable to compose his own, became so popular in England that they were assembled in factories. Fancy Valentines, made with real lace and ribbons, were introduced in the mid-19th century.

Today, gifts typically include roses and chocolates packed in a red satin, heart-shaped boxes and, thanks to the diamond industry who began to promote Valentine's Day as an occasion for giving jewelry, those rings, necklaces and braclets sometimes make an appearance. 

Regardless of its origins, the tradition of giving of ones self has been universal across the centuries and while we don't have choclates and roses for you dear readers, we do have the next best thing. Books!
