Book Blind Date Sale!
Get 20% off our hardback Book Blind Dates this holiday season with the discount code HOLIDAYDATE20!
Ready for a reading adventure? Our blind book date will match you with a fabulous book written by or about women. If you've been looking for a way to read more widely, then this is just the thing for you.
Here's how it works:
- After you purchase, add in the notes the 3 most recent books you've read (and liked).
- We will play matchmaker and select a book we think will be a good match.
If you have Goodreads, please include a link in your message so we can make sure we don't send you something you have already read.
We will include a personalized note about why we think you will enjoy this book. And the book will come with an exclusive Reading Women Recommended seal of approval! The packaging will vary per book date. All books will be new or like new. Book rights belong to their various publishers.
