Put down that box of chocolates! And the roses, too. Kate and David Marshall have published the ultimate Valentine's Day gift; a fill-in-the-blanks book that helps you express your love in a personal and schmaltz-free fashion.
In their new book, What I Love About You (Broadway Books, $13,95), the best-selling Moraga authors inspire the gift-giver's sentiments with open-ended statements--and plenty of room to write. For example, "If we'd first met in a comic strip, the thought bubble over my head would have said..." and "One of your most irresistible physical features is..."
The authors promise: "[This book will] prompt you to say what's in your heart but maybe not always on the tip of your tongue." And unlike chocolate and flowers, this gift will last forever.
