I have never been on a blind date. It's one of those dating milestones that I completely missed out on... but I've seen enough Sex and the City episodes to know that they are entirely overrated.   But the thought of being surprised is always fun so that's what inspired my Go On A Date with a Book idea...because let's face it, if I did have a night to do anything I want, I'd probably end up snuggled on the couch with a good book instead of going anywhere, especially on a blind date.

Doesn't it just make you want to tell everyone to leave you alone so you can read? At least that's how I feel!  I just finished The Nest , which I have to admit wasn't as ahhhhmazin
