The holiday is named after two men, both Christian martyrs named Valentine.

Happy (Saint) Valentine's Day! I am up much past my bedtime to bring you this lovely iconic endeavour! Hence, I will skip the usual pleasantries and leave you to the icons!

TEASERS:


( In Chinese Culture, there is a similar counterpart of the Valentine's Day. It is called The Night of Sevens, on the 7th day of the 7th month of the lunar calendar. )

How are these icons book-related?

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Not ALL of them are book related. But there are some, and according to the rules of book_icons, not all have to be about books, but that there are book-related icons in the post. And I quote...

"- it is not book related (or is from a fanfic) but there are book-related icons in the same post"

Thank you for your concern.

And at least one of those book-related icons is supposed to be visible on the community's main page - which I don't see here. Unless I'm wrong. I don't yet know every book ever written, much though I do keep trying :(

That's a pretty long-standing rule there, mostly because I'm really a bit lazy and hate searching through lots of icons to see if one fits. And it's harder when they're good icons, because then I spend time looking at them instead, and coveting them. Like putting away books when your room is a mess....

Mostly, I'm lazy and don't feel like making separate posts for book_icons :P I'm sure I could find a book that has, oh, a scene of a lot of plugs in a wall :)

I'll just have to make crappier icons in the future so you don't have to get sidetracked by them ;)

Mmmm. Okay. Next time, just make one outstanding book icon and stick it in the forefront of all your posts, though, 'k?

That'll make life faster for all of us, including moi, because I do hate being maintainer-y sometimes.
