February hard as you want it Love challenge

Sorry I made it early but forgot to post it up until the 5th, you can use any titles from earlier in February.

So St Valentines Day is the middle of the month and so we all get into the love bug, except those that are grumbly, so I'll make an exception to them. This is a spelling out the word challenge. So decide if you are grumbly or not and pick love or hate (verb, noun, or any form) in any romance language and spell out the word with Titles, series names, author's names or character names, 1 book per letter. First Word of Titles and Series names but you can ignore "The" and "A" if you want (or fudge the harder letters Q, U, Z, X). The 5 main Romance languages, Spanish, Italian, French, Romanian, Portuguese.

Example. Love in Romanian
D -Dragos Goes to Washington
R
A
G
O
S
T
E

or to love Romanian
I -Ilona Andrews, Magic Bites
U
B
I
R
E

or for the grumbly, hate in Spanish
O- The Others, Written in Red
D
I
O

Lots of words to choose from, let us know what language and form of either love or hate.

If you want to pick another language or do it in English (love or hate as your words), go ahead. :-)


Aly is so frigging bored To love in Romanian is "a iubi"; love is "iubire" or "dragoste" :)

I'm in, but I can't decide on the word yet.

OK so had a discussion with my hubby on that one and... what I thought was that iubire is the infinitive but, no, it is as you say a iubi (google translate) and iubire is another form of love (noun) is what I'm understanding now, but you could use any derivative of the verb or noun so I would go for, I love you, good for valentines theme, te iubesc, personally, that at least I know as I've heard it. :-). or for French, Spanish or Italian...
Je t'aime
Te amo
Te quiero
Ti voglio bene
Ti amo
And for me...

HAPPY LEAP DAY!

It looks like my last E never made it. I started a Eve Langlais novella but doubtful that I'll get it finished today, maybe tomorrow. Just don't have sit down reading time at all today.
