Girls in OC

Join Books & Bows for a cozy Valentine-themed afternoon surrounded by books, coffee, and fellow readers at Books & Roses 💘📚

This community book swap is a blind date with a book, where wrapped books, mystery hints, and a little surprise make discovering your next read even more fun. It’s the perfect chance to connect with other book lovers 💌, mingle, and leave with a new mystery book to fall in love with.

Bring a wrapped book you’ve already enjoyed and swap them for a new “blind date” from our shared tables. All books should be in good condition and unmarked.

Expect a laid-back afternoon filled with great conversation 💬, bookish vibes 📖, and the excitement of uncovering a mystery read. Whether you come solo or with friends, everyone is welcome! 🤍
