Just wondering if anyone has done this? How did it go for you?
I've just come to an end of a book and, on impulse, thought I'd try blind date with a book from Waitrose. I think I'm quite unadventurous with buying books because I feel I know what I'm going to like but have tried to be more adventurous recently. Which has worked really well. I've never wanted to join a book group because I don't want to read other people's choices () and am also a slow reader.
If you're not familiar with blind date with a book you choose a book which is wrapped in brown paper, tied with brown string and just has 4 words on the front to give you an idea of what the book is about. The tag line is "don't judge a book by its cover "
I ended up choosing in a bit of a hurry, and avoided ones I thought I could guess what they might have been, so process of elimination really.
Anyway, I opened it when I got home. Bit disappointed. Bit too chick-littty for me. I read the first 1 and 1/2 chapters and gave up.
Anyone else had a go? Or similar?
