Penguin is hiding free books around Australia for Valentine’s Day

If you’re looking for a little Valentine’s Day love tomorrow, you might find it in the most unexpected place.

Penguin Random House will be dropping little parcels of love around Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane in the form of books by local and international authors.

Each book is wrapped in Penguin’s signature shade of orange and labelled “Blind Date with a Book”.

You have no idea what book you’re getting as, according to Penguin, the idea is to “challenge pre-conceived notions about authors, genres and even cover work, and let people enjoy great stories” on Valentine’s Day.

Get on board the love train tomorrow and follow Penguin for updates on its social media channels and the hashtag #blinddatewithabook.
