Blind date with a book!

Rendezvous in the library

Blind Date mit Büchern © Goethe-Institut

Humans are visual creatures. We react to and are drawn by external features. Just think about the kind of people you are always attracted to. Do they share similar features? 
It is the same with it comes to choosing books. We are often "seduced" by the cover rather than what's in between. If a cover fails to attract our attention, the book won't be picked up at all, even though it could have been the book of a lifetime! 

This Ocotober, we invite you to be bold, adventurous, even daring! Prepare for an encounter with books wrapped up in wax paper, with only a few keywords or review on the outside to indicate what kind of surpise you might be in for.
Tell us how your blind date was later (heavenly! or disastrous?!) and you might receive a prize!
