Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas for a book lover

Romances

Romance sound like a pretty uncomplicated term, right? Two people fall in love and decide together that they want to spend their life together. Right? But sorry to disappoint you, my friend, love is not so simple, and neither is the romance genre. So I will help you to choose from the below category so that you can choose the book that your partner is going to love!

I have attached the Goodreads link of each book to its image description. So, if you don’t feel satisfied by my ramblings, want to know more about the book, or add the book to your TBR, you know where to click. Also, click on the title to go to the purchase link of that book. Hope you find what you are seeking this Valentine’s Day. *winks and hugs*

Happy Ending, Happy Vibes

These romances are which end in the coming together of two lovers. Not all romances end this way, so consider yourself lucky if you are getting a happy ending and a happy ending read. (But happy endings don’t mean that the book is going to be happy, because life is a series of ups and downs)

If You Could See Me Now

Goodreads

This book fills the heart with warmth and makes you believe in love. Even though the ending is not what I would have personally wished for, it is beautiful nonetheless. I am amazed by the writing skills and beauty of love brought out by the author. This book really made me a fan of the author.

P. S. I Love You

Goodreads

Same author, different take. This book really takes love to next level and teaches us to move on while still in love with the person. Life is not always what we think and it never stops moving. We should learn from our love and become strong instead of being weak in its wake.

The Notebook

valentine's day gift ideas
Goodreads

This book was a long-awaited book that I picked up last year. It is beautifully written and adds to the charm of a long-lost lover. However, I would prefer to watch the movie over reading this book. If your partner loves cheesy romances with a happy ending, this might be the one you are searching for.

Addicted To You

This book astonished me. From the cover of the book, you might discard it as smut, but this book contains a very beautifully constructed plot and amazing characters. I enjoyed reading this and I am sure that you will love it too.

Surprise Me

Goodreads

Surprise Me has the same Sophie Kinsella magic that all her books have – humor, fun, spending, and a lot of chaos which all ends in a happy result. It is a story about two partners who love each other a lot but are not sure whether this spark will last till they are old or not. It is a happy journey of two people who try to surprise each other.

Kissing Booth

This book is sure to entice you in its magic and make you its forever slave while you try to cuddle your ensnarer. You can read my detailed review here.

Persuasion

valentine's day gift ideas in romance books
Goodreads

After reading Pride and Prejudice, I was highly prejudiced against the second book by Austen that I was going to pick. This was the second book. It is not Pride and Prejudice, but it is no less either. It is beautiful and contains the story of persuasion that it took for the male lead in persuading the female lead into ignoring the societal pressure and accepting the love. It also shows how love and societal expectations stand in conflict a lot of times. But you should not fear dear readers, the love won at the end.

Little Women

Goodreads

This was one of the few classics which I got entranced into. Classics bore me, but his book really called me deeper and deeper into the story. I started to read this and kept reading until I finished this book. The story is beautiful, each of the little women is marvelous and the supporting characters are super cool as well. The ending was a bit different from what I had anticipated, but the overall experience of this book is top-notch.

This is another Sophie Kinsella that has made to this list. It is the story of a lady who has lost her memory and with the memory loss comes her surprise of finding herself in a different world than the one she had expected. It is filled with emotions, feelings, beautiful characters, and the signature Kinsella quirk.

The Tattooist Of Auschwitz

Goodreads

The Tattooist of Auschwitz is a heart-wrenching story of the tattooist of the concentration camp. It presents to us the story as well as a description of the concentration camps during dark times. The conditions described are heartbreaking but the way their love flourished gives me hope and tears at the same time.

Eleanor And Park

valentine's day gift ideas in romance books
Goodreads

Eleanor and Park is a young adult romance book about high school kids. They find each other amidst the craziness of the world. They became each other’s pillars and struggled through their problems and minds. The bond between them is so beautiful and strong that I was happy that they found each other when they found each other.

The Kiss Quotient

valentine's day gift ideas in romance books
Goodreads

It is a nice book that tells us an unusual modern romance. The love story is not that unusual but the way in which it begins is really different than what I have witnessed in real life. The protagonist of this book is someone who has trouble understanding her emotions and is thus unable to feel empathy with general human emotions. This book will give you a different take on romance and will leave you feeling good.

Turtles All The Way Down

valentine's day gift ideas in romance books
Goodreads

Turtles All The Way Down is a John Green book based on young adults with different psychological troubles. It talks about love, friendship, understanding, and mental health. It is a beautiful book that I was happy that I picked.

Fangirl

valentine's day gift ideas in romance books
Goodreads

I had read this book more than 6 years ago, but from what I remember is that this book gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling of love while reading. This is the book where I found my first fictional crush (Tom Felton is real, so Malfoy doesn’t count). I hope you also love the book the way I loved it.

P. S. This book is somehow connected with the book Carry On. So if you have the budget then you should gift your partner that too because who doesn’t love to read the book mentioned in another book!

Rich People Problems

valentine's day gift ideas in romance books
Goodreads

This is a really good book with drama and proper execution of that drama. I enjoyed every bit of this book, every turn of events, every romantic exchange between the protagonists. I think your partner will enjoy this book if they enjoy watching Korean dramas and reading dramatic stories.

When Dimple Met Rishi

valentine's day gift ideas in romance books
Goodreads

The recent adaptation of this book into Mismatched was a really good series to watch, and similarly, this book was a really good book to read. It was easy to read, with a nice flow in the story and a fast-paced story. Despite being fast-paced, it gives a relaxed feel and a happy mood. I finished it in two to three days. (The series is not the same as in the book, so don’t get fooled by thinking that you know the story)

Holding Up The Universe

valentine's day gift ideas in romance books

It is a graphic novel and its synonym is beauty. It is about Charlie and Nick and their love story. It is one of the very few realistic romances that I have read. Everything they do makes me fall in love with them.

Norwegian WoodsWeird But True

You like mystic reads, the one which makes you feel like you have escaped this book and found respite somewhere else, pick a Murakami. This book is an incomplete love story that might leave you confused if you read too fast, and even more, confused if you read slowly.
