How does the "Blind Date with a Book" Swap work?
1- Spread the word! Invite your friends to our event at Happy Times! As space is limited, please reserve your ticket through our Eventbrite link.
2- This a fun spin on White Elephant Gift Exchanges and Book Blind Dates. Take a new book of any genre- romance, mystery, poetry, etc. Wrap it up and list the general tropes of the book on the front. Keep it a mystery but help others to see if they would be interested by listing a couple details. Mature themes are okay, be sure to include content warnings if necessary.
Ex. Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austin Tropes: Period Drama, Romance, Enemies to Lovers
Ex. Game of Thrones by George RR Martin Tropes: Fantasy Drama, Twists & Turns, Book 1 of an unfinished series
