Blind Date With a Book

Would you want to go on a blind date with a book? The Calgary Public Library seems to think so.  This poster says it all: 

“Who will your ‘book soul mate’ be?  A thriller, a biography, perhaps a romance?  Don’t worry if it doesn’t work out, simply return your date with no strings attached and no hard feelings”

For February and Valentine’s Day, several of the Calgary’s Public Libraries set up “blind date with a book”.  I think this is a cute and fun way for people to try out a new genre and there is indeed a possibility that they will fall in love!

I snapped this photo at Fish Creek Library, where there is a shelf of books all decked out and ready to find dates:

I wish I could say that my name is Cordelia or that I can recite "The Highwayman" from memory or even that I live on Prince Edward Island. While these facts are unfortunately untrue, you can probably tell by now that I am a die-hard Anne of Green Gables fan! My name is Sarena Dharshi and I can say that one of my favourite poems is Tennyson's "The Lady of Shalott" and I have indeed visited Charlottetown, P.E.I. Some other fun facts about me: I attend Western Canada High School, my favourite colour is turquoise and I am a huge Harry Potter fan. I love writing and performing spoken word poetry and I am also a blogger for The Huffington Post.
