This weeks question is: Do you judge a book by its cover?
Yes, I do!! I find that the cover gives a feel for the book and can often set the tone. I often use the cover to pick books depending on my mood. I love a good cover. That being said, I have been pleasantly surprised by some books and disappointed by others.
It's hard not to judge a book by its cover. New follower. =]

Yes, I surely do judge a book by the cover. Not always but more often then not. I'm known for not reading synopsis so if your cover doesn't show me what I want to know or if someone doesn't recommend it... chances are I'm reading someone else's book.

ReplyDeleteHi Coreena! New follower here. Would love for you to follow me. Nice to meet you.
ReplyDeleteFor me, it is the cover and the title that tempt me to read the blurb. If the blurb reads great, I'll grab the book. I remember the first time I saw Harry Potter's book covers, I was like, O_o...not sure if I liked them. Love the inside but the covers weren't really to my taste.
Happy Follow Friday!!!

I can get frustrated when the cover doesn't have anything to do with the story! Great answer. I'm a new follower. My FF is at Coffee Table Reviews
ReplyDeleteThx for stopping by. Yes, I agree with your last statement. I have been pleasantly surprised by a not so great cover!

I think we can all agree that even the most beautiful book cover can't sell a book if the writing's not there. Book cover art may, at best, help steer me in the book's direction (especially if I'm in a book store) but it's not going to hypnotize me into buying it right then and there.
