Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Blind Date with a Book?

It’s kind of like Tinder, but with books - so infinitely better outcomes and a ghosting-free experience.

Where do your books come from?

Most of our books are pre-loved, lightly used, and in very good condition.

They usually come from my own shelves (turns out space is not infinite), insurance sales, or trusted fellow bibliophiles who’ve agreed to a bulk unhaul.

Rest assured, you'll never receive a book with dog ears, missing pages or spillage.

What’s the difference between Blind Dates & Matchmaking?

Blind Dates are pre-listed; You browse the candidates in our collections, read their details, and decide who’s getting your bookmark - Add to cart.

Matchmaking is for readers who want a more curated approach & want to play Tinder with books that may not be listed here.

Tell us your type, your red flags, and the tropes you’ll always fall for, and we’ll curate three worthy candidates to choose from.


What if I’ve already read the book I receive?

We do our best to make that unlikely.

Every listing includes genre, tropes, star rating, spice level, and a direct quote, which should be enough for familiarity.

If a quote makes you pause and think “hang on…”, a quick Google is your friend. Especially if you’re a seasoned TBR harlot.

Do you offer returns or refunds?

Due to the nature of our products we are unable to offer returns, refunds or exchanges.

That said, we do our best to keep track of previous purchases and keep candidate numbers consistent to help avoid double-ups.

How does shipping work?

We ship using Pass the Parcel, with dispatch days on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Please allow up to 5 business days from ordering before dispatch. Some items are made or assembled from scratch, and good things (unfortunately) take a little time. We promise it’s worth the wait.

Once your order has shipped, you’ll receive tracking so you can stalk it responsibly.
