✨📚Look, Ma, WE MADE THE NEWS!! 📚✨
Exciting news! Following our engaging February meet-up at Coffeeweed Cottage, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Ashley White from The Acadiana Advocate for an insightful interview. Dive into our conversation with Ashley as we discuss the power of community, the joy of shared reading experiences, and the magic of Silent Book Club Lafayette. Check out the article via the link below, where we share our passion for books and the vibrant Lafayette literary scene!
📚✨What is "Blind Date with a Book"? 📚✨
"Blind Date with a Book" is a creative and fun concept often used to encourage readers to try something new and adventurous. Here's how it typically works:
Books are Wrapped: Books are carefully selected and wrapped in plain or decorative paper to conceal their covers and titles.
Limited Information: Instead of revealing the title or author, a brief and enticing description or a few keywords about the book's genre, themes, or tone is written on the wrapping.
Random Selection: Readers choose a wrapped book without knowing exactly what's inside, creating an element of surprise.
Unwrapping the Surprise: Once a book is chosen, readers unwrap it, revealing the title and author of their "blind date" book.
The idea is to encourage readers to step out of their comfort zones, try something new, and enjoy the surprise of discovering a book they might not have picked up otherwise. It adds an element of excitement and mystery to the reading experience.
If you would like to participate in one, or both, of our "Blind Date with a Book" events, please let us know (you can reach out on our socials or via email). We want to make sure there are enough participants to make this happen!
