A Blind Date with a Book is a unique way to discover stories you might never have picked up on your own. Each book is hidden from view and instead comes with a short list of hints - genre, tropes, and vibes - to spark your curiosity. Unwrapping your pick feels like opening a present, with a whole new adventure waiting inside.
Each Blind Date with a Book is personally chosen and approved by me, featuring a gently used or like-new thrifted book. Some may be brand new, but all are in excellent, giftable condition. Every book is wrapped and decorated with ephemera I’ve collected, including vintage magazine clippings, old book cutouts, and fun stickers, adding extra clues about the story inside. Tucked alongside are a few cozy surprises to make the unwrapping feel like an experience all on its own.
I am always working to include books from all different genres, so whether you're in the mood for something heartwarming, haunting, hilarious, or high-stakes. From swoony romances to gripping thrillers to cozy contemporary reads, there’s something for every adult reader.
Perfect for gifting to a book lover in your life, or of course for keeping all to yourself - you deserve it!
I’ve discounted shipping just for these. While heavier packages often cost $8–$12 to send, I’ve marked these at my small-item shipping rate (around $5) to help keep shopping easy and affordable.
How to Shop:
Use the dropdown options to browse our current selection. You'll see their one word teaser and the main genre.
Once you click on an option you'll see the photo of that particular wrapped book, on the tag you'll see a few keyword clues, as well as the Goodreads rating by the star to help you decide! If you see a red chili pepper then that means that book is a spicy read! (18+).
Books ship out the next business day and shipping discounts are given for multiple books in the same order. If you want to pickup locally in Bremerton, WA, choose the pickup option and the shipping fee will be waived. Keep an eye out for fun promos in the future!
