lol you asked for the same one as last time!

There's only one section with multiple choices for each number, every other section just have the regular five prompts :)

[Bopeep]

Really? Can I ask for the what're you wearing 2? I'm a disaster *facepalm*

As a punishment to myself I will do again the colorful prompt reading Pinocchio AND the 2nd prompt.

FINAL UPDATE

Thank you all for participating!!

Blind Date With a Book is always a blast to host, and I'm hoping those of you who got "ghosted" requested another book right away.


(this is what the ghost looked like btw)

Also, several of our mods were low-key having a challenge to see who could get ghosted the most, so here are the uh, winners (I guess?):

Laura ☾: 2
Ane: 1
Jenner: 1
Katie: 1
Pandamunky: 1

In case you're wondering, I build a spreadsheet beforehand with the categories and numbers, so the ghosting was truly random. Green means the prompt was used, yellow means it was used twice (I only used yellow for the True Blind Date ones—some of the prompts in other categories were VERY popular).

If you enjoyed Blind Date With a Book (or you missed it and want to play), we are hosting a similar game in the fall called Bobbing for Apples. Similar concept, possibly spookier ghosts.
