Book&Gather: Blind Date With A Book Swap

A Night of Literary Mystery, Creativity, and Connection

Bring a book, leave with a surprise — and maybe a new favorite read!

Join us for a cozy, creative book swap like no other. Here’s how it works:

1. Bring a book (one that you love or think deserves a second chance).

2. Wrap it up — but we won't just use plain paper! We will decorate the wrapping to reflect the theme, vibe, or setting of the book. Get as artsy or minimalist as you like.

3. Describe it — On the front of the wrapped book, we will each give a short, intriguing teaser: a few keywords, a quote, a cryptic summary. No titles or author names — we will keep it a mystery!

4. Swap it out — We'll each browse the other wrapped books, pick one based on the description that catches our eye, and go home with a literary surprise.

Whether you're into heart-thumping thrillers, whimsical fantasies, or poetic memoirs, there’s a mystery match waiting for you. It’s the perfect way to share stories, spark conversations, and discover hidden gems — all under wraps.
