LITERARY MATCH: THE AUCTION

Cultural

A reading promotion activity featuring a dynamic book exchange conducted as a "blind auction." Attendees bring one or more pre-wrapped, good-condition, second-hand books from home. The number of books contributed determines how many chances each person has to bid on new stories.

Each participant takes the microphone to describe their book's plot in an engaging way—highlighting its most compelling elements—without revealing the title or author, or giving away spoilers. Interested participants bid on the story based on the presentation; in the event of a tie, the exchange is decided by a game of rock-paper-scissors.

The event aims to celebrate International Literacy Day.
