2/1/205. Cherry Pie Day – February 20: The apple pie might be America’s most popular pie, but the cherry pie comes in second place.
💜 Read a book with a character who bakes, or a character who eats a baked good. You can also read a book with food on its cover, a book with red on its cover, or a book set in Michigan (record holder of the second largest cherry pie).
6. Tell a Fairy Tale Day – February 26: Modern fairy tales are generally known for their happily-ever-afters. These myths and legends were orally passed down, then eventually put into writing. As they evolved throughout time, magical qualities snuck in, and depending on the author, the stories ranged from sugary-sweet to gruesome.
💜 Read a retelling of a fairy tale, a book where one character tells another a story, or a book categorized in Goodreads as fantasy, paranormal, or mythology. You can also read a book that makes you happy, a book with a happily-ever-after ending, or a book that you can’t wait to tell others about.
7. Westminster Dog Show: The show was founded in 1877 by a group of hunters who met regularly in Manhattan and decided to create a kennel club just so they could host a dog show. Now each year, the dogs take over Madison Square Garden during the week of Valentine’s Day for the annual Westminster Dog Show!
💜 Read a book with a dog in it, or read a book with an animal on its cover. You can also read a book set in the 1800s, or a book set in New York, or a book with some sort of competition or sports in it.
2/4/208. Creative Romance Month: Dinner and a movie are so cliché. Celebrate the month of love by getting creative!
💜 Read a book where a couple has a unique date, wedding, or romantic encounter. You can also read a book with an embrace or kiss on its cover; a book with hearts, flowers, or candy on its cover; a book where Valentine’s Day is celebrated; or a book where a character does something creative (your interpretation).
2/14/209. Pluto Day: Now demoted to the status of dwarf planet, Pluto was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh in February 1930 and named by Venetia Burney, an 11-year-old schoolgirl from England with a fascination for classical mythology.
💜 Read a book with a science theme (sci-fi counts), a scientist character, a character who makes a discovery, or a character who enjoys science. You can also read any book published in 2006 (the year Pluto was reclassified to dwarf planet), a book set in England, or a book with any celestial object on its cover.
2/11/2010. Reader's Choice: 💜 Read any book of your choice
