I am a self-proclaimed nerd, and I’m pretty darn proud of it! So is Mr. Canary in his own way. We’re nerds about different things, which means we’re going to look like this on moving day:

We love books (and have way too many)! I love a good biography on an artist or an interesting business strategy guide or possibly something on sociology… but I have to admit, my favorite type of book usually involves some kind of unconventional love story.
I think Kate Spade also had the same idea with the “Summer Reading” section of her site. With the autumn chill setting in, summer is long gone, but what’s more academic and nerdy than reading in the fall?

What are some of your favorite love stories? Are you incorporating any of your favorite books or poetry into your wedding?
A bee after my own heart!!! Mr. Jasmine and I *love* to read– in fact, the first time we both realized we had feelings for each other was in a bookstore

I also love:
1. 100 Love Sonnets and Twenty Love Poems and A Song of Despair, both by Pablo Neruda
2. The Book of Love by Rumi
3. Beloved by Toni Morrison
