Looking for a new literary love connection? Bookmatch is a fun, fast-paced reading series that unites passionate readers with books from highly-eligible authors. Bookmatch showcases six Minnesotan authors and three genres in one hour. Authors will reveal dark secrets, readers will be torn by choices and free books will be given at the altar.
