Hi, I'm Kitaabi

The book who loves a good surprise.

I'm the mascot of GiftABook. I help readers swap surprise books, then meet the person behind them.

A book with a lot of feelings

Reading is emotional. Here's how I take it, one mood at a time.

Just one more page. Okay, maybe ten. Don't wait up for me.

Somewhere a stranger picked a book just for you. I can barely sit still.

Your match is being found. Good things take a little while, like tea and sourdough.

The reveal. Your partner named a book you never saw coming.

Two readers, two books, one café table. This is my favourite part.

They picked the exact book I'd have hidden from you. Brilliant.

One corner. Tiny. I regret nothing. Mostly.

Sad it's over, glad it happened. Time to pick up the next one.

Something went sideways. It happens to the best of us. Let's turn the page.

GiftABook matches you with a fellow reader for a surprise book swap at a public meet-up near you.

Your details stay private until you're matched.
