About Us

Hi! I’m Melanie, and I started Blindly because I’m obsessed with Blind Dates with a Book. Seriously—if I see one, I’ll stop in my tracks and grab a few.

But over time, I found myself disappointed with the picks more often than I’d hoped. They were fun, but they didn’t always hit.So we started wondering: what if we could make that experience better?

With the help of my amazing husband (he’s the tech wizard behind the curtain), we built a quiz that helps us actually get to know you.

Your preferences, your vibes, your reading mood—so we can pair you with a book that truly matches what you’re looking for.

We didn’t want to lose the fun and mystery—but we did want to make the experience better. That’s why each book you receive is hand-picked by me, based on your quiz results.

I read every single response to find a book that feels like it was chosen just for you.I’m a fellow book lover, and nothing makes me happier than matching someone with their next favorite read.

And yes—you still get all the goodies that make Blind Date with a Book so fun.Blindly is a family-run business, built from our home and powered by our love of great stories and thoughtful details. Thank you for trusting us with your next bookish adventure—we can’t wait to surprise you.

Based in California - Blindly was founded by Melanie—our book-loving COO, co-founder, and bookmom.
