Speed dating but with books. Various tables are set up, and each table contains books of a certain genre (fiction, graphic novels, nonfiction, manga). Everyone says not to choose a book by its cover... BUT, honestly, we do exactly that all the time. When students start at their first table, they choose a book based on the cover they find most appealing. Then, they get to know that book better by reading the book blurb on the inside cover or the back of the book. After learning more about the book, they fill in a space on their Speed Dating form with the title, author, genre, and how interested they are in reading that book. They only have 1-2 minutes at the table before they are rotated to the next table. They have to leave all books on the table until the end when they've rotated through all the tables and genres. When the activity is finished, they have an opportunity to retrieve their match from the table they found it at... otherwise, they may browse the collection.
