My Sister who is recovering from Surgery & has to lie low for a bit, now has a book she can cozy up with. She is blown away by all the little details that made it extra special for her to receive. She can’t wait to share what she received with others.

My book arrived today. The presentation is incredible. It’s so pretty I’m just going to sit it unopened on my coffee table to share with friends. Great gift idea. I’m putting together my gift list now. Bravo Encore Reads!

Unwrap Your Next Favorite Story

Welcome to Encore Reads! Here, books come with a little mystery. Each one is a pre-loved story treasure, waiting for a new home and a new reader. We wrap our handpicked selections for a "blind date" experience - you won't know the story until you unwrap it, but we promise it will be a page-turner. Gently used, full of character, and ready to spark your next favorite read. Perfect as a gift, and every book comes with a little surprise tucked inside to make the experience even more special!

Books are in good to very good condition, with minor quirks like small page folds, light cover writing, or embossed ownership marks. Each book has a story and a little history, which makes them unique. Please be advised, all sales are final, but we hope the mystery and joy of your blind date with a book more than make up for it!
