Today marks day 2 of our countdown! Today, we are excited to have our Senior Marketing Manager, Cheryl Kerwin, share some of her fun Valentine’s favorites! 
- What is your favorite literary romance, and what makes it your favorite?
I struggled a bit with this one. Do I go with a more traditional story like Pride & Prejudice and Sense & Sensibility or more contemporary like Bridget Jones? But what I ended up with is a Geopolitical thriller. Yes, you read correctly…in The Last Jihad by Joel C. Rosenberg, Jon Bennett meets Erin McCoy, they fall in love and get married while killing bad guys and saving the world. Why wouldn’t you love a love story like that?!
- What is your favorite Valentine’s memory, or what is the most romantic thing anyone ever did for you?
I have to say it’s when I was younger; my mom was the champion sugar cookie maker. They always turned out just right, and the frosting was unbelievable! Every Valentine’s Day, she would make cookies for us to take to school for our class. There were 5 of us kids, so as you can imagine, there were a lot of cookies. The best thing about taking those cookies to school was our classmates would be waiting with baited breath for those cookies to come through that door. I still have people telling me “I remember your mom’s cookies….” Those were the days.
As I got “older” and more “single” there was a group of young ladies that would get together on Valentine’s Day. We would get dressed up, and instead of staying home to sulk, we went out to celebrate our friendship!
Have any fun Valentine’s memories? Share them with us below! We love reading your comments!
