Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee, every week we all get together to answer a question and find new blogs that we enjoy. This weeks question is
Q. DO YOU JUDGE A BOOK BY IT'S COVER?
To some extent yes I do...it is a very bad habit I know...but if a book has a beautiful cover I am more inclined to pick it up and read the back which most of the time hooks me. I have read some books where I though the cover was hideous and still loved the book so while I am attracted to pretty covers I still will read a book that doesn't have a pretty cover.
I agree. Attractive colors inspire me to read that back and the back cover seals the deal for me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. It's nice to meet ya! I'm following you back. Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteHi Melissa! 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'm the same way! A pretty cover will make me pick up a book I've never heard of, but I've read (and loved) plenty of ugly covers.

I'm guilty of browsing by covers when shopping without a list! I'm already a follower. My FF is at Coffee Table Reviews
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI expound on all the marketing qualities of a good book. Just follow me back to my book blog - http://www.howardsherman.net
Thank God it's Follow Friday!?

I am always drawn to the pretty covers first, but I HAVE to check out reviews/summaries for a book before I buy it. :) I have a tiny book budget, so I don't want to get something that's going to stink!
