Our gothic blind date with a budget box.

The starter ritual: the book, the mark, the moment. No fluff, just what you need to disappear into a chapter.

Choose preloved or paperback, then tell us your genre. We’ll hand-wrap your box in black, seal it with intention

Add any notes at checkout: literary elements, spice level, favorite tropes, hard limits/triggers, etc. The more you share, the better the match.

To avoid books you've already read, please feel free to share your Goodreads profile or other reading tracker url to the order notes.

Our spicy/dark romance books contain adult topics intended for 18+ only.

Our pre-loved are always like new, you may not even be able to tell they've been read. No library discards, no heavy markings. Hand-cleaned, odor-free, and re-enchanted with our signature black wrap. 

Notes:

Blind date titles are hand-picked and duplicates rarely happen. But if you already own or are dissatisfied with your pull, message us and we’ll make it right.

Gifts welcome, add a gift note at checkout and we’ll handwrite it at no extra charge.

Your next obsession awaits.
