Blind Date Buch 2023 © Goethe-Institut Hongkong

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 when 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! 

That's why we invite you to a blind date with books in May!

How does it work? 
1. Choose a wrapped book from the library. There are little clues on the packaging about the contents of the book.
2. Bring the book home and spend some quality time together. 
3. Write or draw us a review about your "date" and receive a small souvenir in return! 

Have fun!
