Pocket Diary Book Club

Blind Book Date

One hour. One wrapped book. One unexpected story.

Bring a book you’ve loved, wrap it so the title and cover stay hidden, and bring it along.

At the meetup, exchange your wrapped book with another reader and discover your Blind Date with a Book.

Then, simply sit back and read.

No pressure. No networking agenda. No registration fee.

Just books, reading, good conversations, and a good space.

Wrap a book you love in plain paper. No title, no author, no cover — just one handwritten line on the outside to tempt somebody.

Pick a parcel. Say yes to it. No peeking until you get home.

How It Works

five steps, one hour
01 Bring a Book Bring one book you’ve read and are happy to pass on to another reader.
02 Wrap It Hide the cover and title. Let the book remain a mystery.
03 Exchange Swap your wrapped book with another reader.
04 Read Unwrap your book and spend the next 30–40 minutes reading.
05 Share At the end, share your first impression with fellow readers.

More Than a Book Exchange

The idea is simple: get people to read.

We’re creating a space where book lovers can discover something unexpected, spend an uninterrupted hour with a book, meet other readers, and enjoy good food and a welcoming atmosphere.

There is no registration fee and no commercial purpose behind the meetup.

Food and beverages are optional and can be ordered directly from the venue.
