- #romance 2d
She’s pretty sure her new neighbor isn’t a serial killer… probably.

This one’s got a wild premise, but it’s not really about the dragons. It’s more about the things women aren’t allowed to say out loud.
- #fiction 2d
It’s a heist story, but it’s also about identity, art, and who gets to own history. Sleek, thoughtful, and full of tension.
- #thriller 2d
A reunion at their old college goes exactly how you hope it wouldn’t.

Set in a beach town full of nosy neighbors, new beginnings, and unexpected friendships. Both heartwarming and hilarious.
- #youngadult 2d
She just wants to make art and stay out of the fight. But the fight keeps showing up anyway.
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.
