I couldn‘t resist! The book was a poetry collection by a new-to-me author, Thomas Curtis Clark.

Today I have a blind date....with a book!! It was extraordinary because I could see two persons with whom I used to share at BookmarkPR before, because life activities are now described as before and after COVID-19😳BookmarkPR, @Bookishmarginalia @Wanderingbookaneer happy place when they were in PR🤗

WanderingBookaneer He visto los anuncios en las redes sociales y me ha dado sentimiento no poder participar. Sabes que se te quiere a través del tiempo y la distancia. ¡Disfruta el “blind date!” 4y

Gissy Gracias! Jonathan y yo salimos cargaditos! El también compró 5 lbros. Muchas personas compraron libros. (edited) 4y

So, I did this earlier today 🥰. I‘ve seen this display a few times before & have wanted to try it, but am basically too cheap to buy a book blindly lol! Noticed the local library branch was doing it & since I had to return a few books anyways, I decided it was fate! I HAD to borrow one! 💖📚🎶😜 #SquidgetsRoomReadathon #ValentinesDay

ShelleyBooksie What did u get?? 5y

ElizaMarie I went to Half-Priced books and Barnes and Nobel so that I can buy a date with a book and neither place had any display of them! I was super disappointed! 5y

DieAReader 🤯😔 @ElizaMarie Id share mine if I could! 🥰 5y

GHABI4ROSES Barnes has those, but 25$ for something I might have already read🤔 I bet I end up doing it, anyway. Catches me every time I am in there😁 5y

DieAReader That‘s exactly the reason I‘ve never done it @GHABI4ROSES. The library was a great idea! 5y

GHABI4ROSES I will have to try it, now. Although my Mount TBR with all the Buddy Reads is becoming a concern of the loved ones 😂 @SquidgetsRoom 5y

Because I wanted a blind date!☺️ BookMarkPR displayed these mysterious, interesting dates. They were all around in a table looking at me and I said to myself, why not, let see what you got darling!🤔And I choose these three. Now I'm nervous because they can not be returned😬but I now they will be better than a real date😂🤣

JackOBotts Please share the reveals!!! I‘m excited. I‘ve never seen the #blinddatewithabook displays in my local bookstores, and it‘s such a fun idea. I‘m jealous! 6y

jpmcwisemorgan I want to see what you end up with! 6y

Gissy @JackOBotts I love that activity! You can always swap with friends if you don't like what you chose. In all the blind dates I had participated only in one occasion I didn't like the book but someone wanted it, so I exchanged it. 6y

JackOBotts It might be a fun kind of swap to do with my book club, actually...or at least fun for me! 🤣📚🤓 Thanks for the inspiration! 🤔💡 6y

MonicaLoves2Read My public library did this last year and I loved it. Read some books and writers I normally would not have read.😉 6y

SO here‘s the deal: Last year I walked into this bookstore and saw their Blind Date with a Book display for Valentine‘s Day. I loved it and posted about it but didn‘t buy one because it felt too risky. This year I decided to BE BRAVE and go for it!! Y‘all inspire me! One book claims to be for lovers of Narnia and The Girl Who Drank the Moon: ✔️. The other appeals to lovers of Fangirl and Everything, Everything: ✔️. Stay tuned!

Awesome giveaway @REPollock !!! I had two blind dates before tinder when you met people online. I took a friend with me on the first one, but I went alone on the second - I was a bit reckless. Don't do that! He seemed nice but was much older than me. I found out that he kinda preyed on young ladies.

I'm open to a blind date with any genre! 📚❤

@REPollock is hosting a fun #BlindDate giveaway.

I married my blind date. My husband and I met 23 years ago on a blind date. Our 3rd date was on Valentine's day, and instead of a box of chocolates, he gave me a big bag of Reese's cups. I had made an offhand comment on our first date about not loving chocolate but being obsessed with Reese's. I went home that night and told my mom I'd met the boy I was gonna marry. And 6 months later I did. ❤

BookNAround I always say I married my youthful indiscretion. 😂 6y

If you can call early internet dating (1998-2002) blind dating. It pretty much was back then, pre-social media. Had some very interesting (I.e. terrible) dates before meeting my husband in 2002.

Fun giveaway! Grats on your achievement! #giveaway #litsyhappenings

Well, the #blinddate I most remember is a friend of a friend in college. We were introduced while we were all on campus over the summer. We enjoyed the summer together and then he moved to the Dominican Republic to teach. Fast forward 12 years and he comes near where I live to speak at a conference and we have a nice dinner. He‘s Jewish and I‘m goy so it was doomed from the start anyway. 😂

Thank you for the giveaway! No horror or fantasy please

Congratulations @REPollock on your awesome big number!

I went on a #blinddate when quite young when a school classmate set me up with a friend of her boyfriend. In those days our dates only consisted of going to the movies. We never checked what the movie was as the important thing was attending it with a boy. The movie? Marat de Sade 😳

#giveaway #BlindDate @REPollock
I was once set up by a friend. It was lightly snowing and the atmosphere was perfect for a date. 5 minutes in, he turns to me and remarks, "I don't really get music." Now, I love all music, and it went down from there. I inconspicuously texted a cop friend who arrived, and escorted me to his patrol car and we drove away. I never heard from my "date" again. I did however marry the cop. ?

REPollock That‘s a fantastic story! Thanks for entering my giveaway! 6y

sixgun @REPollock The Reverend told the story during our wedding ceremony, and we entertain people with it also. As George Costanza would say, "...great couples always have a great story about how they met. That's why I've never been in a long term relationship. I've never had a good meeting story."

This is kind of embarrassing, but I‘ve only ever been on one blind date, and it was so incredibly boring that I don‘t even remember very much of it. One of the smaller universities in North Louisiana was having their homecoming weekend, and my cousin happened to be a cheerleader for the team. She set me up with a pal of her fiancé‘s (he played on the football team), and that is pretty much it. Not very memorable, alas ?

Repost for @TheReadingMermaid :
Since the Secret Santa Swap is not happening this year, I have decided to leave my swap open for a few more days for people to sign up. The swap is open internationally (please read rules). I have over 40 people signed up right now, let's make it to 50! 😍😍😍
Opening Day: Dec 22

#BlindDateBookSwap

BeansPage Thank you for sharing love 😘 6y

JillPill So excited! I love doing the book swap for Christmas so I'm excited for this! 6y

geodynamical_nonfiction Hi. I noticed your form is closed. I was just wondering what example input you were collecting? I'm doing a gift exchange for another app and was wondering how you made yours blind. Did you use a random generator website? Thanks for your help. 🙂 6y

LitsyHappenings @geodynamical @TheReadingMermaid 👆🏽👆🏽 Also .. to add a couple cents, some people use a random generator, and some match themselves. ☺️ 6y

BeansPage @geodynamical I'm actually old fashioned an I use pen and paper to do the matches. I used Google forms for the sign ups though and then I just copied and pasted them on to the appropriate email for everybody's matches. 6y

Seeing as nearly all my 5⭐️ reads this year were things I never would have chosen to read if it weren‘t for the Litsy recommendations, this seems like a perfect swap! Just signed up! Yeah, thank so much for organising it @TheReadingMermaid

catiewithac I didn‘t get an email confirmation so I just wanted to confirm. My email is catiekosinski@gmail.com 6y

Avanders @TheReadingMermaid 😘😘 @catiewithac you didn't get a confirmation for the blind date swap? Tamara will help you 😉 6y

BeansPage @catiewithac hey sweetie, yeah I don't know why it's not sending out the emails. It must be something that I have done in creating the form. But I have you down and I have all your responses. I guess you guys will just have to check with me to make sure that I get your responses. 6y

Avanders @TheReadingMermaid I think you can still fix that.. in settings, make sure you are set to "collect emails" and then you can check the "automatically send confirmation" box ☺️ 6y

BeansPage @catiewithac okay I think I fixed it. 6y

catiewithac 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 6y

CordeliaGrey11 Yes! Can‘t wait :) 6y

BeansPage @Gaylagal2 @Amabear can you guys please share this post to let people know the sign ups are open? Thanks guys! 6y

BeansPage @bookcollecter sweetie can you please do me a favor and go back onto your form and put your entire mailing address. I need the city state and zip code please 6y

Jerdencon Woo hoo... excited for this one! Signing up now! 6y

bookcollecter Sorry about that... how do I go back to it? 6y

BeansPage @bookcollecter you should be able to click on the link and edit your form or you should be able to edit it through the email that you received after you filled out the form. 6y

bookcollecter Ok I'll take care of that now. Thanks 😀 6y

BeansPage @bookcollecter thank you darlin! 6y

bookcollecter Having issues finding form that was emailed. The link says I have to redo the whole form. Can I email you my address info? 6y

Avanders You bet! 😘😘 6y

BeansPage @bookcollecter would it be OK if you just redid the entire form for me? I want to keep all the info together so I don't lose anything. I'll just delete your first form. 6y

bookcollecter Ok no worries. I'll do it know 6y

bookish_wookish yesssssss! 6y

bookcollecter All set 6y

OriginalCyn620 Thanks for the tag...just signed up! I‘ll repost too 😊 6y

BeansPage @bookcollecter I got you doll! Thank you so much! 6y

EH2018 Im in it! This is a great concept @thereadingmermaid 6y

BeansPage @EH2018 sweetie can you please refill out your form. For some reason it didn't record any of your responses after your full name 6y

EH2018 Hmmm...filled it all out, hit submit said it was recorded.... 6y

EH2018 Just tried to do it again but it only lists name and email 6y

bookish_wookish i just filled it out and when i clicked submit it said something went wrong! Should i fill it out again? @TheReadingMermaid 😬 6y

BeansPage @bookish_wookish yes try it again. Was trying to fix something just then. 6y

EH2018 It looks like it worked this time! Checked my email its all filled out, and id be able to edit if needed 😊 6y

BeansPage @EH2018 I got you girl everything's good! 6y

Johanna414 Is this just a swap for a single book without all the goodies? (Trying to control myself financially and not sign up for all the swaps - but I‘m all in if it‘s just the book) 6y

BeansPage @Johanna414 you have the choice of either sending one book and one gift or two books and two gifts 6y

Johanna414 Sounds good - thanks! 6y

bookish_wookish Third times a charm! @TheReadingMermaid Im all set! Thank you! 6y

BeansPage @bookish_wookish awesome! Sorry for the difficulty 6y

Lovesbooks87 I just realized I never got a confirmation email. I was wondering if my form went through. If not I am more than happy to refill out the form! 😃 6y

LeeRHarry This sounds like fun so I‘m in - thanks for organising! 6y

BeansPage @Lovesbooks87 yeah could you please re fill out the form? I was having some technical difficulties in the beginning but I fixed them now 6y
