What is Blind Date With a Book
You might have seen these in bookstores, with books wrapped in plain paper and just a few clues about what’s inside. The title and author stay secret until it’s purchased and unwrapped.
Here, we bring that same idea online. Each pick comes with a teaser — a short, spoiler-free glimpse into the story’s vibe, tropes, or themes. If it sounds like a match, you can click to reveal your “date.”
It’s all the fun of the surprise without the risk of buying something you’re not into. No covers. No spoilers. Just a chance to choose your next favorite read based on curiosity alone.
