Staff Writer

Molly Wetta is a feminist Gemini vegetarian librarian. She is employed by a public library in a liberal Midwestern college town selecting young adult literature, media, and graphic novels while also managing the library's Twitter and Tumblr, which is fortunate, as her aspirations of being a professor of Buffy Studies didn't pan out. When not working, she is most likely reading existential Russian novels, regency romances, comics, queer YA, or cereal boxes. Sometimes she finds time to volunteer at her local domestic violence shelter or watch CW shows on Netflix with her cats: Spike, Angel, and Furiosa. Challenge her to a game of Candyland or Risk at your own peril, as she is a very competitive player of board games. Blog: wrappedupinbooks.org Twitter: @molly_wetta

For the last several years, I’ve done a “Blind Date with a Book” display at my library. It surprises and delights patrons, who can select a wrapped book with nothing but a brief description written in the format of a personal ad to hint at the contents.

Just in case your local library or bookstore hasn’t jumped on the trend, I thought it would be fun to give Book Riot readers the opportunity to go on a blind date with a book: just click on the personal ad that most intrigues you, use that 1-click checkout, open a bottle of wine, and you’re all set for your very own Valentine’s date.
