Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee. This weeks question:
Q. DO YOU JUDGE A BOOK BY IT'S COVER? Almost Always, I can look at all the descriptions and reviews and if when I'm at the store it doesn't look appealing I still won't buy it. On the other side, if i see a book that looks nice but i'm not familiar with it i usually wait until i can research it more before buying.
The Book Blogger Hop is a place just for book bloggers and readers to connect and share our love of the written word! This meme is hosted by Crazy For Books.
I'm always attracted by the cover first. It can take me a while to try out a book with a cover I don't like. I'm already a follower! My FF is at Coffee Table Reviews
ReplyDeleteIf I don't like the cover of a book it will take a very convincing review of the contents for me to pick it up to read. People go to school for design and publishing, they should think these things out more!

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.

I always try to go ahead and read the blurb on the back of the book because it seems like so much cover art these days is exactly alike and as pretty as girls in dresses are, it just doesn’t tell me whether or not the book is worth reading.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by! I'm an old follower of yours too!
