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🤗
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
My bff knows me so well!! I can‘t wait to open this Blind Date Book! I‘ll enjoy a tasty brew while reading it!! #booksandbeer #birthdaygirl #bestfriends
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😂🤣
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!

@REPollock is having an awesome #BlindDate #giveaway Head I‘ve to her page for details and Congrats on your milestone!!
I‘ve only been in a blind date with a book, which ended up being a total fail and not a very interesting book.
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. ❤
#blinddate @REPollock
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. ?

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 ?
Thank you doesn‘t do this justice @slightlyfoxed I love everything so much. I am so excited to spend some time over the holidays with my “sci-fi starter kit.” Ive been coveting these book sleeves forever! Can‘t wait to hunker down this afternoon with my socks and tea and chocolate and start reading. Well worth the wait! Thank you for everything. My cup runneth over.
@TheReadingMermaid thank you for hosting!
