Reading 'Love'
The hearts, the bouquets, the chocolates. We all know what this means! It's Thursday!

What could we do now that it's Valentine's Day? Hmmm....we could go to a date with our special somebody. We could also drink coffee with our friends in the nearest pub. Or, we could read the sweetest pieces about love! Here's a short list of everything you can read for Valentine's Day:

Poetry and Lyrics
Sir Chivalrous by kayfortnight
Nothing is ever certain by Clarity
i refuse to take the night by Audy
They Tell Her by costya
August 2nd (or Looking North-West) by Karzkin

Short Story and Scripts
Old and Grey by IlhamAlKhatib
Dreamwalker by Cspr
Daisy Painted Glasses by SparkofDoubt

Now that we have a handful to review, let's enjoy the sanctity of home and sit for a while with a coffee or tea in hand and enjoy the love this V-Day.

Sci-Fi vs. Romance
Valentine's Day, the day or love and romance! Well, lot's of people are celebrating Thursday! This is unfair!

Two of those people who celebrate 'Thursday' are me and Cadi, one of our resident mods. Let us hear from her today about how she prefers Science Fiction than romance.

AlfredSymon: Are you interested in reading romance or love-themed works?
Cadi: Not really at all, I'm afraid.

Alf: Well, why do you think so?
Cadi: I'm just not really into romantic things :P

Alf: What would you rather have than romance?
Cadi: In terms of things to read? Sci fi, for sure :3

Alf: Why over romance? :D
Cadi: because I like to read things with a plot problem more tangible than whether two people are in love. Basically, romance just isn't my thing.

Alf: Any last messages for readers about romance?
Cadi: Yeah. If romance is your thing, knock yourselves out, it's Valentine's Day. If it's not, come hang out with me in the "wait what day" corner.
Alf: Hahaha! Got that message Cadi!
And that's all for Squills interview for today!
