A cozy corner for romance readers, bookish gifts, and community.
Markets & Pop-ups
Bound comes to life beyond the page through our monthly markets and pop-up events. Each month, we partner with other local small businesses to create cozy, bookish experiences designed to bring readers together.
The Bound Book Club
Join Bound for a fun, two-part romance-themed book club experience at Daughters Coffee & Books! Start by picking up your Blind Date with a Book on April 19th (12–12:30 PM), where you’ll unwrap a brand-new, spicy, trope-filled romance read. Then come back on May 17th (12–1 PM) to discuss it with fellow readers at book club.
Your $32 ticket includes a new release book wrapped in Bound’s signature blind date packaging, plus curated book club tools to spark meaningful conversation—and access to both the unwrapping and discussion events.
Expect popular romance tropes like bad boy x good girl, protective MMC, childhood crush, and forced proximity. Perfect for romance lovers looking to connect, read, and gush together!

Dream big
Hi, I’m Sophie — the heart, hands, and hopeless romantic behind Bound.
Bound started as a passion project built on the belief that romance books deserve a space that feels intimate, exciting, and a little bit addictive. From curated blind dates with books, to trope-driven bundles, to the spicy, cozy, and chaotic moments we book lovers live for… Bound needs help to grow.
I’m launching a fundraiser to bring Bound’s next chapter to life: a fully converted mobile bookstore.

Blind Date With a Book
Due to the surprise nature of Blind Date With a Book selections, these items are strictly final sale.
Thank you for supporting Bound and shopping small — it truly means the world to us💜
Are the blind dates with books new or used books?
Our blind dates with books are gently loved and thoughtfully selected secondhand reads. Each one has been inspected by hand and chosen with care to ensure it’s still cozy, readable, and worthy of a second chapter.
Choosing preloved means:
• Giving a book a second life
• Supporting sustainable reading
• Discovering a surprise story at a lower price
• Supporting a small, independent bookshop 🤍
How does Blind Date with a Book work?
Blind Date with a Book is a surprise reading experience. You choose a trope, and we select a wrapped book for you— no peeking
