Have you ever done this? I haven’t and I really wish I would. I especially think it would be kind of cool today. If you get in a rut, and can’t get into a book, try it. Fix it so you can’t see the book you’re picking and just dive it. If it doesn’t stick, try it again. Free range reading y’all. It’s all the rage.

Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon 
Haven’t yet. Unfprtunately whenever the second hand bookshop of our library does something alike, the books are all gone before we get to know about it at all. 😦

I don’t think I would have the courage to just pick a book blind. The closest I come is just grabbing a book off the shelf unplanned.
❤️ “free range reading”

I never done anything like this, but I want to try someday. Might take a chance if I see it in a bookstore.

I would love to do this as well! They did this once at my local library and I wish I would have grabbed one. I think I may have my Husband pick a book for me while I close my eyes. Make it a little fun.

I have bought one from a Barnes & Noble back in February but never got around to reading it.

We have done this a few times at our library in Glenview, IL. I don’t think our library where we live now does this, though.

The Blue Ridge Regional Library in southside Virginia did this last February. I ended up with Swiss Vendetta by Tracee De Hahn. It was just OK. I’ve seen blind-date books at Chop Suey (descriptions not that intriguing) in Richmond and Winchester Book Gallery (whoever wrote the blurbs did a fantastic job – really, really regretting not getting one) but was too miserly to buy one. Maybe next year!

I have and I was really excited for the book but a major life event happened and I stopped reading for awhile. I would say go for it!

I would love to try this…but paying for something and my limited book budget makes me timid to try at bookstore

I’ve never heard of this! What a great idea. I would
have a hard time picking a book with my eyes closed but maybe my buds and will
Play along and pick one for me
Like someone else suggested here…cool idea, especially when you are in a rut.

I never tried it, but to be honest I’m not sure I’d be comfortable with the situation xD

I wish my library would do this, I would definitely give it a try.
