getting a book i’ve already read in one of these is my worst fear 😩
ik there’s some shops where u can tell them the books you’ve read or send them ur Goodreads link so u don’t get one you’ve read. :)
Its like dating with your ex
I got one that had Taylor Swift’s song Snow On The Beach for the cover, and that was it. No description. When I opened it, it was a sci fi book I read a long while ago and didn’t like 😭. I was able to return it though, it was from Barnes.
I got a book in blind dates that was almost 15 years old and I was disappointed that they didn’t try to promote new books or ones that weren’t as popular :(
@@leticiarac5810 perfect metaphor 😂
i appreciate how sara does brand deals so much because when she doesn't introduce something as sponsored before she talks about something, i usually can't tell that shes doing an ad/brand deal until she gives the promo code or something like that
omg yes literally!!
No shade to Sara as this comment isn’t directed at her. But it’s actually against the law in a lot of countries to not be 100% transparent and up-front about sponsorships. For example: They have to be clear, obvious and disclosed as ads as soon as the content is introduced to the viewer, or the portion where the ad is begins. It can’t be at the end of a caption, it has to be the first thing addressed in a caption, CZcams video has to be clearly stated verbally and included in the description if any further details are added there. That’s why many creators start theirs with “this portion of the video is sponsored by….”. Otherwise you can be fined, and viewers can also sue you. If people believe what they’re seeing is an ad and it doesn’t specify ‘AD’ clearly and/or visibly they can sue the creator. #/soandsopartner, #/sp, #/sponsored, #/inpartnershipwith are not considered sufficient. Or saying “I’m working with”, “I’ve partnered up with” again are not enough because they can mean a lot of things for people who don’t know a lot about the industry. To some people it could mean a discount code, or a shoutout in exchange for products, therefore saying “this is a paid sponsored video”, “paid collaboration” before going ahead and selling the product to the viewer is the correct and safest way to do it. A lot of people don’t like using this language because they worry the viewers will think it’s not genuine, but in reality if you have thousands or millions of people who watch you, like you, support you, they’ll only be happy for your successes and understand that creators need ads to keep doing what they do.
@@dianamaria_mua at the start of the video tho it tells you it includes a paid promotion…
@@athena4576 I did say in my comment that it wasn’t directed at Sara but actually clarifying that there’s a reason you might hear other creators being a lot more obvious about theirs. And a lot of people ‘watch’ CZcams whilst doing chores, a screen pop up is easily missed.
@@dianamaria_mua wow i actually didn't know this! i knew obviously it had to be disclosed when content is sponsored by a brand or an ad, but i didn't know those specific stipulations of it!
I really love these types of videos because they introduce new books that aren’t super “trendy.” There’s nothing wrong with trendy books, it’s just that sometimes I wish I was introduced to other books that aren’t all over tik tok. So I really enjoyed this video, and I’m definitely going to be picking up a couple of these
Same I want non trendy book recs
to be those books that went on a blind date with Sara 😮💨😫😂
😭🤍
@@SaraCarrolli 🥰
TATBILB is sooooo good. I liked it better than movie adaptation because you get more of the sisters' relationships with one another. It is such a comfort book!
I follow a few book tubers but love your videos the most. I feel like I am watching a friend, I love watching your videos and they make me want to relax and read. I did not know that barnes did blind books- I need to check that out! xoxo
That’s so sweet thank you!
I love blind dates with books!
I like the blind reading videos! I feel like you actually got some good books!
Yes!!! I was so happy!
Part 3 would be amazing - loved this video ❤
I got so excited when graceling popped up. I'm glad you liked it! I hope you finish the series. (It also reminded me to go finish reading it 😅)
The way I literally got so excited when the romance book ended up being to all the boys I've loved before cos that's such a comfort book for me 🥰🥰
This is such a fun concept! I always judge the books by their covers too so maybe I should try this but I’m scared 😂
So happy you made a part 2!
Always the best news when I get the notification that you posted a video!❤️
I absolutely love the graceling realm books so much. There are 5 now and one of my favorite series out there.
I love the blind date with a book videos!! And I’m so glad you got Graceling! I love all the books in that series! I know it wasn’t your fav but I will say Fire and Bitterblue definitely have more romance than the first book!
My favourite part of every week is Sara posting
i love the concept of blind dates but i’m so picky i would 100% DNF 😭
you're literally my favorite person to watch right now. i've read the whole tatbilb series and it's definitely cute, luckily I read them before I watched the movies. i saw 'how to love your neighbor' at half-price books and I didn't get it but now it's on my radar! also yes to more blind dates w/ books videos! happy reading 💌

Sara: Home is always where the heart is
Me: but that’s not where mine lives, you know I love a London boy
love sara so so so much. Her videos are just so refreshing
I absolutely support a 3rd, the first "Blind dates" video is a comfort video for me. I sometimes play it while I am doing dishes, errands, all that ☺️❤️
i watched to all the boys i’ve loved before when i was 12 and immediately became obsessed with it like everyone my age lmao! i read the series a couple years ago (way better than the movies cos only the first movie is good lmao) and i completely get what you mean, it feels so comforting and nostalgic, also the writing in this book feels so like normal like it’s a normal persona’s life idk how to describe ittt. i like it sooo much more than the summer i turned pretty and i’m so happy you read it :))
def do a part 3 🤭🤭
i read the first three graceling books a few years ago and absolutely loved them, they feel very nostalgic to me! would highly recommend u give the rest of the series a chance :)
A part 3 would be great too . A booktuber chooses your books video would be cool too .
Oh my gosh, I just watched Des’ vid and now Sara posted! ❤
I’m wayyy too picky to do this, esp when you’ve read so many books and you have a fear of getting one you’ve already read. But I might need to try it sometime! ❤ I agree with those romance covers, but sometimes they turn out sooo good!
I read the whole to the boys I loved before series in one weekend, it definitely got me out of a slump and it was so good!
I've read To All The Boys I Loved Before. Will for sure be adding these books to my TBR 🥰 If you want to, a part 3 would be so fun
I read To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before in September and I honestly can’t remember much about it, but I have advanced a lot as a reader since then so I will probably end up rereading it! I got The Silent Patient as a surprise gift for Christmas and will probably read it in the next week! I am so excited and love your videos!!
Ive listened to the audio book of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before and I loved it so much!
I love these blind dates with books! I definitely wanna try this someday! If you want to I would love to see one of these every month or even every season cuz they are just so fun! Definitely keep ordering/getting them from different places each time so that we get a wider variety and have honest reviews of the sellers :)
I love when you do blind dates with books. It should be a series that you do. I love discovering new books through you.
Much love❤️
I don’t think you understand how happy you make me whenever you post 😭💗
🤭🤍
My Barnes & Noble does a blind date with a book even when the promotion isn't running. I went to my Barnes & Noble a month ago. I asked if they still have blind date with a book event still going. They told me the event is no longer running for the time being. But they told me that they could still do it for me by telling them what genres I liked. Then one of the employees secretly picks out a book for you. They put the book on hold at the register. You don't know what the book is until after you purchase it. Till you get out to your car to see what blind date book was picked out for you. I love historical memoirs & fiction. The book that was picked for me was "The Librarian of Burned Books" by Brianna Labuskes. It was a book I didn't have. It's currently sitting in my TBR. Kudos to my Barnes & Noble still honoring the blind date with a book after the event was over.
Can we just talk about the fact how Sara is such a sweet and kind person (; I love her!
love love love blind dates with books! you have become my favorite booktuber :)
Yess please do a part 3😃
Keeping it real! Showing us the books you’ve already read! So brave going in for a blind date when you’ve read so many books!!
staying up all night to watch ur vids is my fav time
I GET SO EXCITED WHEN U POST ON PATREON ABT A NEW VIDEO
🤍🤍🤍
OMG I SCREAMED WHEN YOU GOT GRACELING. I read this in middle school and reread the realm in 2022 (there was originally 3 books but she came out with 2 more in 2021&2022). I’m writing this before you actually have read it in the video so I’m hoping you liked it bc it’s one of my favorites. Edit: I’m glad you enjoyed graceling and I definitely think you should read Red & Bitterblue bc you learn some much about King Leck
I feel you - it’s like I prefer cartoon covers over real people on covers but then I also judge them by thinking they’re all cute, fluffy romances. But like you said, I’d rather have low expectations and enjoy it than have high expectations going it and it doesn’t meet them.
If you like the “enemies to lovers meets HGTV” premise, I recommend 99 Percent Mine by Sally Thorne. My mind went straight to 99 Percent Mine when you read the description on the blind date book. It’s super cute and has childhood friends as well as enemies to lovers.
Awww I love Graceling. That was one of the books that got me into reading
new post just in time to cure my boredom
Omg i read the fantasy book when i was like 16 and the series is soooo good! Pls continue reading it. I feel like there are so many emotiond with the characters in that book
I love the concept of blind books, so good! I read the silent patient over christmas break (finally!) and I loved it
your videos are the most comforting thing ever
When I watch your videos and your reading books that I have not read yet I’m always like I’m gonna put that book on my book list on what I want to read. I love your videos by the way
this is a really fun video concept, would def watch if you do another one ♥ also i just subscribed, cause i've watched quite a few of your videos and i enjoy them so i thought it was really time for me to do that!!
4:19 I just finished this. Really enjoyed it. Like you though I don’t think I’ll read the rest of the series.
Please do a part 3! It’s so interesting to watch🥰
ugh love seeing you posted a new video. yes to a pt. 3!!🫶🏻
you should read "birds of california". im curious to see what you think. it kinda reminds me of what you were saying about how to love your neighbor with the 3rd person and great 4 star feeling but still desiring something more.
I read the heart of the raven prince bc of your first vid like this & absolutely loved it! Def gonna give these a try aswell
I loved Graceling when I was younger and have been thinking about rereading it! You should continue the series!!!
The last book reminds me of a really sweet book I listened to on Audible for free! Called Back to the Burbs. I think you’d like it!
something about you looks so elegant and beautiful. you are effortless
I like the idea of not looking at the ratings because i’ve experienced when something is rated really high and i read it automatically i tend to give it a higher rating maybe subconsciously to fit in with everyone else’s review. Similar with a book rated badly i feel i might rate it lower because no one else liked it much 😂
i love this series so much
I would love a part 3!! I love these so muchhhh love you Sara :)🥰
i would LOVE a part 3! i judge books by their covers too, but im just so scared to try a blind date lol
bestie I was just thinking ab u
🤭🤭🤭
I read graceling back in middle or high school and loved it. When I saw it was what you got I was super excited. I think I want to reread it.
also im about to start my first book by alice feeney cos u always recommend her, im so excited
SLAY!!!! I hope you enjoy it
omg feeling truly old that you hadn’t heard of Graceling hahaha clearly I’m an elder book blogger. Graceling was alllll the rage
Graceling is one of my favourites ❤️
I love these. Bought a couple BDWAB too
Oh I just love your blind dates with books videos😍
UR LAST ONE OF THESE WAS MY FAV IM SO GLAD U DID ANOTHER !!
YAY!
I don’t think you understand how much I needed you to post today thank you!!!!!
i absolutely love ur videos Sara ❤never stop doing them!!
I've read all of the Jansen Brothers series, and I recommend them all! I read the second book first as well because I had no idea it was a series (I also read the part about Noah's brother and his girlfriend and really wished there was a book about them...little did I know). I was so sad that I missed the first one and read them out of order, but I still went back and then read the third book. They are all great!
Omg okay maybe I should go back
Yes please do a part 3 I love these!
I love these videos so much please do a part 3! 😍
how to love your neighbor is one of my FAVORITES
Love these videos! Would love another! I also fear doing this for getting a book I already have
To all the boys I’ve loved before is so good! I’ve read all 3 books & watched all the movies!!
Ok let me finish watching the video
OMG i have read the fantasy book you got. But in my mother tongue. I thought it was sooo good. I’m so happy you enjoyed it 🙏. Honestly feels like a shock that this book is famous since it feels like an underground book. But I GOT SO HAPPY when I recognized the book in your video, since you usually have read all the books before me🥹
OMG GRACELING IS SOOOO GOOD 😩😩
your videos are so comforting to watch
i love this series sara! yes do more blind date videos!
How are you so good at guessing the genres beforehand?! I swear you guessed all the genres in you last video too!
It may be a new talent of mine
receiving a notification when you post a vid makes me sooo happy. love you and your content 💗💗
Yay thank you so much 😊
I am literally reading the silent patient rn!!
Graceling series is so good! I read it years ago and I think read to book 3.
Yes pls part 3 i love these
OMG I RECENTLY DISCOVERED GRACELING and have it in my cart on Amazon!!!!
The best moment is... Blind dates with books for a book lover!!!! 📖💜
gah i was hoping that strand one was the co-op when i saw you post it on insta. i loved the co-op. u def inspired me to check out those surprise wrapped books next time
Another great video from Sara. This video definitely makes me want to start trying blind dates with books. Definitely a good way to get out of my comfort zone.
Definitely would love to see a part 3 and 4 and so on; also side note, I absolutely loved How to Love Your Neighbor. So cute. Ebonite’s to lover grumpy sunshine, everything we need in a romance.
When you listen to music while reading is it songs with words I cannot do that
Yes! Lol
Your content is so good! I love your channel because I feel it’s unique in a way! ✨🌟💗😇 literally just thinking about when u would post next like 5 mins ago! Sending love from California
I ordered 6 different blind book boxes for my birthday this month and I'm hoping that I don't own the books already. I'm a fantasy dark romance girl with a little fluffy rom com romance.
Smoothest sponsor add😁
Hahahaha 😂
The second book of to all the boys i loved before is better than the movie!!
Ooo maybe I should read!
1st movie was so good but the others suck :(
My day instantly got better when you posted
🤍🫶🏼
I think if you liked that one they get better each book in my opinion so please finish this series
Would love to see a part 3!
I rly want to read Graceling for a while now! & the last book sounds interesting!
im howling at the eenie meenie miny mo
