Blind Date with a Book

Like a good wine, we'll pair you with folks that match your tastes- taste in books that is! That's right, we're going to use your reading interests to find friends for you to discuss your favorite reads with. But it doesn't stop there! We will also recommend a good book to read for the matched participants to help start some conversation. 

Is it love, friendship, or is it a new reading buddy? Let us match you up and find out! 

How does it work?

Pick one of the following books to read. Based on your choice, you will be put in a group with others that chose the same book for the chance to meet, discuss, and bloom your discussion into a new book-buddyship.

Don't worry if you don't have time to read the book. Even if it's just one on your to-read list, that will help us find you the perfect book-buddy match. 

• Just One Look by Lindsey Cameron (Mystery/Thriller)

• Piranesi by Susanna Clarke (Sci-Fi/Fantasy) 

• This Close to Okay by Leesa Cross-Smith (Fiction Contemporary/Mental Health, Feel-good)

  • The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune (Feel-good, YA) This was the main pick, but there aren't any copies available right now, and are really backed up with the second book coming out this month. 

• Evicted: poverty and profit in the American City by Matthew Desmond (Non-Fiction)
