About Us

I'm Lindsay, the owner of Lily Papers Library! I'm a mid-30's homebody and lifelong reader (and sometimes writer) based in Northern California. This shop has been my passion project since July 2021 when I started an Etsy page to share my love of reading with the world.

I'm totally aware that a Blind Date with a Book shop isn't entirely unique. Walk into any bookstore literally right now and there's probably an end-cap or table with books wrapped in butcher paper (or paper bags, we see you Barnes) with some hints about the book inside. I'm proud to have taken the idea and proverbially run with it to make something people love and come back for time and time again.

Roll for Reading, our signature blind date with a book box, came into existence after  Adventures in Aardia started their Roll for Sandwich series on TikTok. How fun would it be to let the fates decide the components of a book box? Roll for Reading launched in April 2023 to significant fanfare and has been our pride and joy ever since.

What I hope to achieve with Lily Papers Library is merely to bring together book lovers (worms and dragons alike) by way of exciting and innovative book box experiences.
