180+ books a year.
Five in my bag right now.

My name is Emily, and I live and work in Frederick, MD. I read an average of 180+ books a year, and if you catch me on any random Tuesday, I've probably got five books in my bag. Blind dates with a book are how I get to share that love with you — a fun, exciting way to find new authors, new genres, and fall back in love with reading.
Above all else, this is self care. Cracking open a book someone hand-picked just for you? That's the whole magic.
Zero AI. Ever. Not for a caption, not for a cover, not for a flyer.
I used a real artist for my logo. I write every paragraph and every caption. I design every flyer with my own hands and my own brain. I will never sell a book with an AI cover, or written with AI. It's literally stolen art — and I'll always back real writers and real artists.
I'm also a proud supporter of indie authors trying to get their name out there. If that's your thing too — welcome home.
"I really don't do this to make money. I do this because I love books — and I hope that shows."
