One of my guilty pleasures is watching reality dating shows. Every once in awhile, I just need to plow through a series like Married at First Sight or Love is Blind and give in to the mind-melting matchmaking. There’s nothing quite like the indulgence of peering into the spectacle that is 25 contestants competing for the same person or virtual strangers starting their lives as a married couple. Even if it’s not real, isn’t it fun just to let yourself get lost in the bingeable antics?

You have to admit there’s an allure to looking for love—the excitement of the chase and the satisfaction when you’ve met your match. That’s why we’ve recreated that longing and loving feeling...but with books!

In a cross between a blind date and speed dating, we’re introducing you to 5 eligible ebooks waiting for their reader to whisk them away.

Here’s how to play:

1. Read each book’s Q&A and give them a chance to win you over.
2. Click on the ? book cover after you’ve chosen your match to reveal the title!
3. Borrow on the Libby app and read happily ever after.
