The question for this week is....
Do you judge a book by it's cover?
-Yes, I do somewhat. If the cover conveys a storyline I love (like rock stars) then I'm definitely more likely to buy it. Bright colors or sexy heroes with rippling abs all by themselves are covers I'm also drawn to. JR Ward's covers for her BDB series are my favorite covers and I get giddy waiting to see what the next one will look like.
Thanks for the follow! I returned the favor ;-)
ReplyDeleteOld follower hopping through. Hope you'll come visit me at http://redhotbooks.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI usually go for the pretty covers first. I always read up on the book before I buy it first though. lol!
ReplyDeleteOh man, I <3 the BDB series SO MUCH. Haven't read the lastest installment yet, but I've read some tempting reviews! Can't wait to get my copy.

ReplyDeletehey Joder, cool blog name very unique, Just following ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Joder! New follower here. 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 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!?
