reading to escape reality

...hello disassociates...
We’re Jess & Beccah: two slightly unhinged, fiction devouring friends turning our obsession into full-blown themed book experiences. What started as spicy book chats spiraled in the best way, into a brand with Blind Date with a Book events, themed photoshoots, book retreat planning, chaos, and curated bookish magic.

ABOUT
Our Next themed book Event
🪄 Mistletoe & Mayhem - A Holiday Bookish Game Night
December 6, 2026 · 4:00 PM
Candle Lit Books
8380 Baymeadows Rd Ste 15, Jacksonville, FL 32256
✨ A Night of Fun, Prizes, & A Little Friendly Competition!
Event Tickets Starting at $35
Come ready to bargain, scheme, and laugh your way through a night of game-show-style challenges, prizes, and a little friendly competition.
Every guest gets a mystery wrapped gift at the door. That gift is your bargaining power as the games begin, and the night ends with a Survivor-style auction. The night will end with a Survivor-style auction, where $1 = $10 DisDollars (you can pre-purchase during checkout, or buy at the event).
Between games, shop the bookstore with an exclusive event-night discount and grab something delicious from one of our food vendors. Bring your competitive spirit. We’ll bring the mayhem.
Add a little extra magic
📖 Blind Date with a Book — $25
Get yourself a present! We’ll pick a book just for you and wrap it with a collection of bookish goodies to go along with it. The perfect little gift from you, to you.
🎨 Holiday Painting Craft — $10
Create a seasonally themed painting. Only 10 available.
🎄 Christmas Tree Craft — $20
Create and decorate a festive Christmas tree. Only 5 available.
Want to make both crafts? Add them both to your ticket! You can move between crafting and games throughout the night, so enjoy it at your own pace.
Creating immersive bookish experiences for readers who want more than just another book club.
Reading is our favorite escape, and we believe the best books deserve unforgettable experiences.
That's why we create themed events filled with curated reads, immersive activities, incredible prizes, and a welcoming community of readers who aren't afraid to obsess over fictional characters together. Every event is designed to feel like stepping into another world—and we'd love for you to be part of it. Join our email list for early ticket access, event announcements, exclusive giveaways, and all the latest bookish news.

Jess
Rooting for the villain. Always. Jess lives for gothic vibes, moody aesthetics, and romantasy with just enough world-building to get lost in. She’s the architect, dreaming up the unhinged magic behind disdaily, bringing the vision to the quarterly events. This community is her brainchild and probably your next obsession.
Beccah (with an H)
Beccah is the unfiltered voice of reason in this bookish fever dream. Whether she’s DNF-ing a book that didn’t earn its keep or keeping Jess’s latest "unhinged" idea from spiraling into total madness, she’s here for the truth. From motorcycle romance to twisty suspense, her takes are bold, her sarcasm is peak, and her Goodreads is a literal battlefield. Come for the spicy opinions; stay for the reality check.
ABOUT
Catch us in the wild—haunting local bookstores, crashing book clubs, and attending as many literary events that we can, in Jacksonville, St. Johns, & Nassau. We’re out here making new book friends and scouting for our next locations all at the same time.
Our Blind Date with a Book experience is personal: we pull titles from your actual TBR and wrap them in pure vibes. Our quarterly events and retreats are themed, immersive, and just the right amount of chaotic. One event you’re building a craft with dark romance vibes; the next, you’re stepping into a dramatic, book-inspired photoshoot while sipping something sparkly. Come for the book. Stay for the unhinged energy.
