More memories, R.L. S and Christopher Pike for the win.
Was at my local used bookstore, I love that they are doing a blind date with a book promotion.There were a couple of folks looking at the descriptions ,hoping to find a promising prospect!👏❤️
Sorry I‘m late announcing winners in the #BlindDate giveaway, I woke up with burst blood vessels in my eyelid and the past 5 days have been challenging in terms of light sensitivity.
The first winner is @wordslinger42 —please email your shipping address to ladybee@gmail.com and I will send your blind-date book! I‘ll announce the other two winners in following posts, as I‘m able.
Thank you to all who entered my #giveaway!
Two days left!
I‘m hosting a Blind Date With a Book #giveaway—I see those paper-wrapped books in The indie bookstores & think it‘s such a fun idea!
Have you ever been on a #BlindDate (a person or a book)? Post with the hashtag & tell us about it!
On Feb 1st, I‘ll choose 3 Littens to receive blind-date books!
Please note if you have any absolutely-not genres (e. g. “No self-help or horror” or similar) & don‘t forget to tag me!
Congrats @REPollock on the milestone & thank you for doing this fun #blinddate #giveaway
Oh my stars, do I have stories! When I was in college we had "Screw Your Roommate Dates" where you set up your roommate or friend on a date, so those were interesting! But my favorite was a friend wanted me to have a date for our camp out, but she set me up with a guy who I didn't really like & he ended up hooking up with her roommate at the camp out! ??
Congratulations @REPollock on hitting 6k Litfluence!! That is so awesome. ?
I've been on a few blind dates is the past, all were bad.
My worst #blinddate was a guy that would constantly make bad jokes, make fun of me and poke me throughout the date then say "nanner nanner" afterwards.....EVERYTIME! ?
Thank you so much @tina_b.ooks for all my wonderful #blinddatebookswap presents! The books look fab and I can‘t wait to eat and drink the chocolates!! 😃 🍫 😋 Thank you! 😘
@Lovesbooks87 Thank you so much!! I love 💕 everything! That was so cute, putting a description on the book! I wish I would have taken a picture but I was too excited to open them! The penguin slippers are awesome! Thank you so much!!!

@TheReadingMermaid Thank you for organizing the swap.
@Chili I can‘t thank you enough for the thoughtful, generous #blinddatebookswap package you put together for me! I‘m SO excited about the books you picked and I can‘t wait to start reading them! 📚And I love all the goodies you sent! (Especially the fuzzy socks and beautiful engraved bookmark!) Many thanks to @TheReadingMermaid for organizing such a fun swap!
I meant to post this a few days ago and kept forgetting.
#BlindDateBookSwap is on its way to one of you littens and will be there Friday. @TheReadingMermaid
The other package is on its way to my wonderful #penpal @AmyG I didn‘t open mine yet as I wanted you to have yours at the same time. I‘m thinking we should do Christmas Eve if that works for you.
As you can see #Luna assisted so any hair found was her gift to you. 😹
#blinddatebookswap and #xmasxstitchexchange packages MAILED!
Expected delivery Monday. Sorry I forgot as always to photograph the packages in the hubbub at the post office.
#BlindDateBookSwap
My package arrived! Wow! I‘m standing here making dinner and I hear my daughter at the front door ... “Mom you got a package, and it‘s really heavy!” It feels like dozens of books! I can‘t wait to see what you picked out @Avanders Thank you 😍 🎄
@InBooksILive #blinddatebookswap is headed your way, should arrive this week. BUT in my holiday shipping frenzy I forgot to put the hashtag on the box. When you get an unhashtagged package from NH it‘s from me. Don‘t open until 12/22. Happy holidays. ❤️
I picked this up at the post office today. Yippee!! I can‘t wait until 12/22

Hi @LittleBug your #blinddatebookswap package is on it‘s way! I wasn‘t sure how long it would take to get to Germany so I thought I‘d post it now just in case! 👍🏻
Honest opinions needed please: just wrapping my books for the blind date with a book swop and I loved the paper but it‘s really hard to write on! 🙄 wondering if I should rewrap them so it‘s easier to read the descriptions! 🤔 what do you think???
As if I needed another deadline. Or more books! Well, I signed up anyway, because packages are fun. Go sign up! You can even choose your level of commitment - as little as 1 book/1 gift. Nice and simple.
Opening Day: December 22
Open internationally

Got this questionnaire back from a patron who borrowed one of the #BlindDate Display books 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻! *This* is what makes a librarian's world 🤓☺️.
I realized after we wrapped them all up with these inside that we should have added a spot for book title and author, lol. Ah well.
This is still awesome!
#LitsyLovesLibraries #mrbooksdisplays
Anyone up for a literary blind date? I picked up the queer fiction and the dark fiction ones. Looking forward to finding out what they are. It‘s a bit like Christmas. 😁
Posting this one for all the Malaprops lovers who recommended I check out this bookstore in Asheville ☺️ loved their blind date display 😍 had my whole family wandering around picking out books 😂 👍🏻
(Side note - I actually want to read the tagged R. L. Stine book now. Goosebumps was my childhood...)
Hey, a blind date worked out for Meghan! 😄 #royalwedding #blinddatewithabook

@readsusieread This is how we have our blind date with a book. Instead on patrons picking a book out based on a clue, the books are curated based on a survey they fill out letting us know what‘s their favorite book, author, genres, etc. It‘s a pretty small college, so the library has this luxury of giving more personal selections.
It‘s been so much fun picking them out and imagining where these books will take them! 💝
@abbsinwonderland is having a really fantastic blind date giveaway!
A recent epiphany for me has been-
Jobs can be abusive too. And just like an abusive boyfriend/spouse, while it is hard to leave, you HAVE to leave. It will not get better. It‘s scary, but go. Now I need to take that advice.
This quote from Holy Cow sums it up.
“It‘s hard to leave anywhere. Even if the place sucked. It‘s hard to leave anywhere at all.”

I love finding these blind date tables 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻! #NYC #bookstorecrawl
Shopping for #SummerSantaGoesPostal at #BarnesAndNoble and spotted this! #BlameItOnLitsy
Should I do it?!
My local library had a book blind date shelf and I picked this one up. I picked it because of the word "Gothic." The rules say that I can't open the package until I get home. Any guesses while I drive home?
