Blind Date: Sex and Philosophy | Anne Dufourmantelle
post image

Last stop of my #ReadABookDay #bookstorehop: @bookculture on Columbus Avenue. How cute is this?? I bought one but am waiting until I get home to find out my blind date's identity. (I actually have to work now.) Stay tuned, Litsians. I'll make sure to post when I open him or her. (That sounds weird.)

Gayan I've done this before. So much fun. 8y

UnabridgedTomes This is also a great activity for classroom teachers to get their students to try new books. I did it with my high schoolers, but it'd work at any grade level. 8y

jessberk13 I bookstore hopped in NYC for months on end!! I hope you got to the Book Cellar at Webster Library. I wanna say it's 87th and Park. It's heaven!!! 8y
writerlibrarian We do this at our library for Valentine's day. It's been a huge thing for the last 3 years. You borrow a book without knowing what it is. inside you find the name of the employee who rec the book for the event. 8y
Laru79 We did 'Risk it for a biscuit' at my library - you get a mystery book and a chocolate bar to eat while you read! 8y
MariaCristina @jessica It's 78th and York! Webster's where I pick up all my library holds. 😊 8y
jessberk13 @TransparentAcademic that was one of my favorite bookstores ever. I also love Bookoff and Strand (obviously!) 8y
LBApple I've done this before! Of course I was more excited to give my book a cryptic description than to pick something up for myself 😊 8y
[DELETED] 1409720085 Oh, so fun! 8y
katedensen @Gayan As a buyer or seller? @UnabridgedTomes Fantastic idea! What grade? I find there's such a difference in taste (for lack of a more pedagogical word) from ninth to twelfth grade. @Jessica @TransparentAcademic I didn't today because I had to head west. Another day, I'm sure. @LBApple We should do this as a Secret Santa or Yankee Swap (?) thing for book club. 8y
katedensen @writerlibrarian Aw, that's amazing! Friends AND books, I love it. @Laru79 That sounds like perfection. 8y
katedensen @Litsy (I'm featured? What does that mean?) 8y
LBApple @katedfisher absolutely!! 8y
Gayan @katedfisher As a buyer. 8y
katedensen @LBApple ?? @Gayan ? "Who" was your "date"? 8y
UnabridgedTomes @katedfisher I did it with my tenth graders and several sets of novels. The blind dates they picked then turned into book club-style reading and discussion groups. It worked really well and they all had a great time! 8y
Eliza-beta What a great idea! 8y
raelaschoenherr I can't wait to see! Did it have a description? 8y
katedensen @UnabridgedTomes Awesome!! I love it when group work is successful. @raelaschoenherr Stay tuned! I'll be posting the description and contents within the hour 😊 8y
Gayan @katedfisher Be Frank With Me. I got it at Honer Book Store when I was on vacation. They donate all the money to local charities. 8y
judithfertig Great idea! And sometimes a book IS the best kind of blind date. #turkeys 8y
katedensen @Gayan I don't know that one, but it sounds like a great store. @judithfertig Agreed. 8y
Melissa9963 I did a display like this for my library for Valentine's Day. So much fun! 8y
Booksnob We do this at the school I teach at for Valentine's Day. 8y
katedensen @Melissa9963 @Booksnob It seems like Valentine's Day is a common time to do this! 8y
literallycait What a great idea! 8y
katedensen @literallycait I won't lie--I might go back today for another. 8y
SpacyStacy I might be cynical, but to me this looks like something stores would start doing to move product that doesn't sell. Like those "mystery boxes" a lot of places do now. 8y
katedensen @SpacyStacy That makes sense. Although, I frequent that store enough to know they're putting a bit of effort in and excited about it. 8y
Leetha_rose Blind date books are my favorite! 8y
kelsey__reads What a great idea! 8y
Bookish.Heart I love this idea! Never seen this in any of the local bookstores but I I wish they'd join in! 8y
BetweenThesePages I would love to do something that! 8y
Lisa63 My local library does this every year for Valentine's Day 💜 7y

Norwegian Wood | Haruki Murakami
post image

Popped into the Barnes and Noble on the Upper West Side for stop #3 of my #NationalReadABookDay #bookstorehop. I didn't buy anything but I did appreciate these shelves of Murakami books that I found while browsing.

LauraBeth Gorgeous! You deserve to head on down to Sephora now 😀 8y
katedensen @LauraBeth Enabler! Not that the thought didn't already cross my mind...and I still have over an hour before I actually have to "go to work"... 8y
Alisnazzy This is literal book porn to me. Love love love Murakami. 8y
katedensen @Ambrosnazzy Agreed x 1000000. 8y
