February 14th – What a Day! and Booknificent Thursday Link Up Party #32
Happy Valentine’s Day! February 14th is actually an auspicious day for our family. My husband proposed to me 11 years ago and our son was born last year, both on February 14th.
Our big guy is turning one! This isn’t technically his first Valentine’s Day, but he missed out on wearing the bib last year so we’re going with it!
This year, February 14th is even more special, as it’s the final day of Chinese New Year which just happens to also be Chinese Valentine’s Day! Our Chinese female friends here in Malaysia are actually a little annoyed to have the two days fall on the same day this year because they say their partners may try to get away with only one gift! 🙂
And, as I found out from a few of you here and here, February 14th is also International Book Giving Day!Â
We are in desperate need of a book clean-out around here so we’ll definitely be participating! I’ve already got a stack of beginning readers ready to go to a friend, but I’m going to see if I can find anything else to share.
And now, it’s time to party! As always, I’m open to any family-friendly posts about books as well as about helping others learn to read or improve their reading skills (including adults). Basically, anything literacy-related is fair game.

Please link up any posts you have, past or present, about books, reading, and literacy. This link party is all about sharing how books are impacting you!

Choose a photo to upload and then click some of the other great posts in the party and meet new bloggers and find out about new books!
