BlindDateWithABook

I spotted this #BlindDateWithABook while in Frankenmuth, MI, today. The tag intrigued me with the shipwreck; I‘m all about the nautical things. Sadly I didn‘t purchase it. But, I do take chances on blind dates.

Have you ever purchased a blind date with a book?

Sharpeipup Yes 2d

mcipher I have but I‘m usually disappointed 😂 2d

CrowCAH @mcipher I‘ve done several. But there‘s been only one where I‘ve actually read the book. The others are sitting on the shelf waiting… 2d

Aims42 My Mom bought one and she attempted it but couldn‘t finish it. I‘ve had similar experiences so I pass 😆 2d

CrowCAH @Aims42 totally understandable. We‘ll see if that‘s how it goes with the couple I have on the TBR. 2d

Aims42 @CrowCAH I hope they‘re all picks and no whammies!! 🤞🤞🤞 2d

Brought a box of books in for trade this morning & left with these gems🤗 ‘The Body Farm‘ series is one I‘ll be starting soon. ‘The Simple Truth‘ was a random #BlindDateWithABook - #ImpulseBuy

Andrew65 I‘ve read one Body Farm book a good few years ago. Good to see a David Baldacci. 3w

DieAReader @Andrew65 💖🤓Did u remember if u enjoyed it? 3w

Andrew65 @DieAReader Yes, I think it was enjoyable enough but never got back to the series. I think I own another book in the series. 3w

The Twelve Topsy-Turvy, Very Messy Days of Christmas: The New Holiday Classic People Will Be Reading for Generations | James Patterson, Tad Safran

pick

I never thought I would enjoy a James Patterson book, and I never expected to see him as the author of a warm, family-friendly Christmas story. This was definitely a great #BlindDatewithaBook. I read this for #CozyChristmas and #YuletideSpirit.

I‘ve decided when I visit an indie bookstore for the first time I‘m going to see if they have blind date with a book and get one as a souvenir from that book shop. 📚

Went to a festival and one vendor had the #BlindDateWithABook bundles and lots of other cool bookish items! I may need to get one of the trays to hold my mug ☕️ and glasses 👓

The Wall | Marlen Haushofer

pick

A woman in the Austrian Alps is suddenly surrounded by an invisible wall. Behind the wall the world seems to have come to an end. She lives on in her own little world, surviving with her animals. Despite the apocalyptic setting this book felt somehow soothing. I loved how the woman lives with nature and her animals. Thanks for bringing this to my radar @batsy

sarahbarnes Great review. I loved this one too and felt the same. 🩵🩵 9mo

BarbaraBB @sarahbarnes I loved your review and couldn‘t wait to read it too! 9mo

Lcsmcat Sounds intriguing. Stacking. 9mo

Librarybelle Sounds interesting! 9mo

Tamra I enjoyed the screen adaptation. 9mo

BarbaraBB @Tamra I need to check that out 9mo

Cathythoughts Sounds good. Stacking. 9mo

Anna40 I love Haushofer! She also wrote short stories. I even translated one but the Austrian publisher didn‘t want to give me permission to send it to a literary magazine for publication. Unless they translate her whole collection it will probably remain untranslated :(. She was brilliant. 9mo

batsy Nice review! Yes, there was something soothing and ultimately hopeful about it in a way. Happy you liked it. 9mo

BarbaraBB @Anna40 That is so cool! And such a pity you couldn‘t publish it. I‘d love to read more by her. 9mo

jenniferw88 This was my #blinddatewithabook book last year from Gladstones! 9mo

Rissreadswithcats I think I‘ll bump it up my list! Great review! 9mo
