This week on From the Front Porch, we have a new series: Annie Recommends! In this series, Annie curates a stack of books in a certain genre or criteria for you – just as if you walked into our brick-and-mortar store, The Bookshelf. Sometimes, you just want a good book list. This month, in honor of February and Valentine’s Day, Annie recommends a short list of her favorite romcoms and romances.
