This weeks interesting historical fact:
Valentine's Day in the 1800s:
For most of the early 1800s Valentine's Day wasn't celebrated. However, by 1849 it became hugely popular! In the early church and medieval time period, Saint Valentine had nothing to do with lovers; he was known as a martyr! There was however a lesser known Saint Valentine from Genoa. This Saint Valentine was known among poets as the devine overseer among lovers. Along the way the legend of the two of them became intermingled and became a homage to Christian love. Eventually being overshadowed as a matchmaking and lovers holiday.
Now, here are this weeks books from author friends of mine...
