Blind Date with a Book

Buying a new book was never this exciting

This event is for all our die-hard romantics with heart-shaped everythings and for our hopeless dreamers who act as if they are starring in a romantic sitcom when Ed Sheeran comes on their Spotify queue. Whether you’ll come to find your “Happily ever after” or to simply “Peek a BOO(k)”, we promise you a once in a lifetime blind date! Come to Donner Bookstore on Valentine's Day and check out the various profiles of books that may become the love of your life. Maybe you’ll come across the loyal confidant who never gets tired of listening or the captivating storyteller who will sweep you of your feet entirely. Maybe you are destined to meet the romantic who never turns down a spontaneous date or you’re bound to meet the adventurer who will captivate you with.

On Valentine's Day, Poetry International and Donner pair you with your dream book. Come to Donner on the 14th, check out the profiles of your possible 'partners for life' and go for it.
