The Joy of Blind Book Dates
Some bookstores offer “Blind Date with a Book” — wrapping books in plain brown paper with just a few clues written on the cover. Last Saturday, I decided to try it. My wrapped book had this description: “An unlikely friendship, a secret letter, and a train journey that changes everything.”
I resisted the urge to peek until I got home. The excitement was almost like opening a gift — the mystery, the guessing, the anticipation. When I finally unwrapped it, I found a novel I had never heard of, by an author I’d never read. And it was perfect.
Sometimes, the best books are the ones that find you by surprise.
