30 Books to Read This Galentine's + Valentine's Day

Happy Galentine’s Day, gals! And happy Valentine’s Day to you all! Whether you’re celebrating the love of girlfriends or best friends or your significant other or yourself or God or words or WHATEVER, I hope you have a truly wonderful and love-filled weekend!.

I have a galentine’s day weekend in D.C. planned with two of my Instagram besties and I am so excited to drink mimosas and gossip and do face masks and cozy up with good books together. All of the following are books I’ve read and enjoyed, and all seemed perfectly appropriate for reading this weekend, with their pinks and reds and pretty. covers, themes of love, and overall just great content. Whatever your style of reading, hopefully you can find a book to fall for here!

Happy reading + happy love weekend!

How are you spending this galentine’s or valentine’s day?!
