My Fair Book Date

Now Playing: Break My Heart - Spectacular! Cast (Tammin Sursok and Nolan Funk)


Hello blog readers! Hope you've had an awesome beginning of 2012 because I know I have what with the book community swinging with brand new releases and sequel novels, and some have even ended their series recently. Since January is wrapping up, Amber over at Down the Rabbit Hole came up with an awesome, spontaneous idea for the month of February in honor of Valentines Day. Now before you start being all like Valentines Day is for saps, and people who watch way too many romantic comedies take a look at the awesome "My Fair Book Date", coming soon!





Looking for that perfect read for February but have no idea what to read in that HUGE to be read pile? Why not let someone choose your perfect match for you?

If this sounds like a good idea to you, then sign up for our My Fair Book Date event going on for the entire month of February!

Where?: Right here on Down the Rabbit Hole and over at Books!!!!!

When?: The entire month of February

When you fill out the form, you will become matchmaker to someone and will also become set up with a matchmaker of your own!

As a matchmaker, you will research from the list of books provided for you on the form and pick out your perfect match by checking up on reviews and/or recommending one that you read and loved from the list! Then, you will send us your book choice to set up your friend on a blind date with and a short description as to why you choose that match for them. You'll also provide a short paragraph as to why you choose that book for your friend which will be used later. The catch is that your friend won't know it's you till the end of the month!

Your secret matchmaker will pick a book and we'll email you with the title. Then you'll go on a blind date with that book through the entire month of February. At the end of the month, you'll fill out a survey rating your date (it will be about 10 questions) to see if your matchmaker did a good job. We'll send over the identity of your matchmaker and the reason why they choose your match to include in your post.

Then you link up your survey and are entered into a giveaway where two random picks will win a book of their choice from The Book Depository!

To sign up, all you need to do is fill out this form:



Also, if you'd like, snag a button:



This month is all about current reads. We need people to guest post about past blind dates they had with books. If you'd like to write up a one or two paragraph guest post on a YA book someone recommended that you ended up loving, please sign up below. If you could do it for the earlier dates, please specify. The sooner we get these posts, the better!



This February...Come meet your match!


Sound fun? Sign up and be apart of the magic!!!
