Blind Date With A Book

Effie54 · ‎09-08-2010

Has anyone tried Blind Date With A Book? It's where you purchase a wrapped book with a genre you select; sometimes beautifully wrapped with a few goodies (like a pen, bookmark, etc). I purchased one at a local craft show last week and also bought 2 (with a goodie box) on Etsy this week. I splurged as a couple of early birthday gifts. I love the idea of it. I'm sure it's hit or miss...but I thought I would try it. Tell them what books you've read in that genre, or share your likes from the Good Reads app.

I think it's a really cute idea. I especially like it if some were geared for early school age and adolescence to spark a love of reading.

nope

I want to know what the book is, have started too many and didn't like them

also don't need more stuff like pens etc

@Effie54. what a great idea! I love giving gifts that are book related. Just gave a friend both a throw and mug with a book.

@Etoile308 I agree. Some of the genres are geared towards young adults.

That's a cute idea !!! I think people would have to be readers to get into it....I really like the idea !

I probably wouldn't like it. One year my son ordered a gift set something similar to this for me. In three months I got three different books that came with little gifts such as tea, chocolates, etc.

However I couldn't get into any of those books.
