101 - A Guide to All Things Romantic for Romantic Wannabes
Valentine’s
Day always invites visions of romance – hearts, chocolates, champagne
and candelit dinners. But romance and romantic gestures aren’t just
for Valentine’s Day or young couples in love. Romance is timeless and
there are lots of great ways to incorporate it into your
relationship! From love poems and romantic getaways to a daydream
while immersed in one of the greatest romantic novels of all time, here
are a few ideas for adding some romance to your life.
We’ll
kick off our romance primer with a brief list of some of the most
romantic novels of all time. Numerous websites including bookpage.com
and lovetripper.com
name Pride and Prejudice the most romantic novel of all time. Other
popular romantic novels include Gone with the Wind, Jane Eyre, Rebecca,
Bridges of Madison County and Katherine by Anya Seton. Some more current
romantic novels that were personal favorites include The Time Traveler’s
Wife by Audrey Niffenberger , Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
and Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. Below is a list to just a few
romantic novels of interest. We’ve placed Pride and Prejudice in the
top position, simply because so many websites were in agreement that it
was the most romantic novel of all-time. Other than that, the books
mentioned aren’t in any particular order or ranking. We’ve also
included a few books because they looked interesting.
