Blind Date with a Book - Would You?

I looooove to read. It started at an early age, when I would bring books into school and read them under my desk, turning the pages as slowly and quietly as I could. And now, I still love to read. I admit, I'm too faithful to my old standby categories, and probably don't experiment as much as I should.

My local library sent this in their latest e-newsletter, and it is such an intriguing idea to get readers into the library....

Looking for a date?

Fall in love with a hidden gem or find the story of your dreams with our Blind Date with a Book. The library staff has wrapped up a selection of books available for immediate check out, giving readers the opportunity to go beyond their comfort zone and expand their literary horizons. Stop by and take a chance.

__________________________________________

It is such a cute idea, yet, I don't know if I would read a book, sight unseen. It's silly, I know - such a small risk! Would you be interested in this proposition???? What books would you recommend to another reader for a "blind date"?

It does!!! I've been trying to think what book I would select to wrap up and give to someone, with my 100% blessing that they will (hopefully) love!

Oh I'd definitely try it ... especially at the library where there's no cost involved. I think it would expand our horizons and perhaps open up a new world of reading. I've been given books that I would never have picked up myself and ... ended up loving them. Sometimes we limit ourselves ... and this sounds like a fun way to break those limits.
