Your blind date will include a hand-selected gently used paperback book:

  • Containing your selected genre
  • With 3.7 or more stars on Goodreads (often times much higher!)
  • Wrapped in kraft or wrapping paper
  • Wax-sealed and wrapped in twine for an elegant, boutique style

AND one of each of the following:

  • Bookworms who want to break their reading slump
  • Gifts for the reader in your life
  • Self-care nights with your favorite snack wrapped in a cozy blanket 

📚 Why gently used books? 🌲

We use gently used books in good condition. So many books get thrown out in landfills (approximately 320 million per year!) and we want to help reduce this waste, especially with pre-loved books in good condition that can bring joy to someone else. Many of these books are handpicked from libraries and small bookshops, which we want to continue to support for our communities. Each handpicked book is carefully inspected twice for defects and heavy wear before becoming yours. We also clean and sanitize each book after handpicking and before packaging.

📗 What does gently used mean?

To us, "gently used" means in good condition:

  • Generally clean pages - may have pages with dogear folds, minor tears, creases, minimal writing, marks, or stamps
  • Binding is intact - may show minimal creasing and wear, but no loose pages
  • Cover is intact - may have minor creases, scuff marks, shelf wear around the edges or corners, stickers, previous labels, or dust stains

None of these minimal signs of use will interfere with the text or readability of your handpicked selection.

✏️ Increase your personalization:

If you want a more personalized selection, feel free to add any of the following information in the "Order Special Instructions" box in your cart when checking out:

  • Authors you enjoy
  • Book titles you have read before
  • A link to your Goodreads
  • Sub-genres you enjoy or want to avoid
  • Favorite color (for packaging)

While we cannot guarantee a certain title, author, or special request, we always do our best to take your personalization requests into account when fulfilling your order.

Note that colors for items, sticker and bookmark designs, and packaging will vary. Please refer to the photos for examples of our packaging aesthetics :)


While we do our best to select bestselling and popular titles, we cannot promise that your handpicked selection is a brand-new published title. We do our absolute best to only select standalone titles, books in a series that can be read as a standalone, or the first book in a series. We cannot guarantee that your book will not be part of a series.

Please note that while each book is carefully selected to match your chosen genre based on its themes, we cannot guarantee that its content will fully align with your individual preferences. Genre classifications are based on Goodreads and the book’s primary themes; therefore, your selection will correspond with the genre you chose but may also fall under additional genres based on its themes and plot. The book may contain mature themes, explicit content, or potential triggers.

By purchasing, you confirm that you are 18 years or older and acknowledge that you may receive a book that may be outside your personal preferences and may contain explicit content or mature themes.
