Here’s exactly what you’re getting when you choose a simple blind date with a book:
- One used hand-wrapped and stamped book in the genre of your choosing
- One handmade bookmark
- One thank-you note from us explaining why we do what we do
Why used books?
We send used books because each book we ship is being saved from a landfill. We get some from libraries when they withdraw books. Others are from individuals that don’t want them anymore.
It’s a great way to reduce the insane number of books that do end up in landfills every year. (an estimated 320 million per year do!)
This also means your book will not be in perfect shape when it arrives. Most will have some wear and tear, but all are still readable. We would never knowingly send out a book with extensive damage. If we do, please let us know and we’ll send you a replacement!
Books may be hardcover or softcover, but shipping is always free!
Who makes the bookmarks?
Our daughters! Each laminated bookmark will feature stickers, flowers, and artwork from our young daughters. I expect them to get more intricate as they get older.
They love making them, and it’s a fun way to spend time as a family. After all, who doesn’t love stickers and coloring?!?
If you love yours, you can order more bookmarks from our shop.
Can I make special requests?
Yes! When you’re placing your order, add whatever requests you want in the order note.
You’re welcome to request certain sub-genres or anything else. While we can’t guarantee that we can give you exactly what you want, we do our best to provide an amazing experience for every one of our customers.
Why DO we do what we do?
Simple answer: foster care.
We are passionate about caring for kids that need the most love. To do our best, we needed some extra income.
Each book allows us to do more for the kids we’ll open our hearts and minds to.

Whether you’re getting a simple blind date with a book for yourself or as a gift, thank you. Your support goes further than any of us know!
