About this Event
Join us for a cozy Valentine-themed afternoon surrounded by books, coffee, and fellow readers at Books & Roses 💘📚
This community book swap is a blind date with a book, where wrapped books, mystery hints, and a little surprise make discovering your next read even more fun. It’s the perfect chance to connect with other book lovers 💌, mingle, and leave with a new mystery book to fall in love with.
Bring a wrapped book you’ve already enjoyed and swap them for a new “blind date” from our shared tables. All books should be in good condition and unmarked.
Expect a laid-back afternoon filled with great conversation 💬, bookish vibes 📖, and the excitement of uncovering a mystery read. Whether you come solo or with friends, everyone is welcome! 🤍
✨ How it works:
1️⃣ Bring 1–4 wrapped books to trade (titles and covers hidden).
2️⃣ Add a short hint or description to the wrapping — no spoilers!
3️⃣ Browse the wrapped books and choose your blind date to take home.
We’ll have cards and markers available to help you write your book hints and really lean into the blind date theme 💌
