Each weekend, Jennifer at Crazy-for-Books hosts the Book Blogger Hop. It is a great way for book lovers and book bloggers to find new book blogs and get to know each other.
This week's question is: Do you judge a book by its cover?
Yes, I know I do. Most often when I am just randomly browsing online or in a bookstore with no idea of what I'm really looking for. Then covers do have an enormous impact. A cover can catch my eye in a positive or negative way and this has the most influence when the author is one I am unfamiliar with. If it is an author I already know and love, I might roll my eyes if they get a bad cover but it isn't going to stop me from reading the book.
If you have hopped over from the Mr. Linky, Welcome! I hope you will stay a bit and look around. I review a wide range of books including (but not limited to!) urban fantasy, young adult, contemporary fiction, historical fiction, chic lit, cozy mystery, and some non-fiction. I love getting comments so please let me know you stopped by!

I like historical fiction as well. Not too many other people that I know like historical fiction.

Hey! I'm dropping by from the hop! I tend to judge books by their covers too... it can't be helped! :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Yes, I do judge books by their covers. At least at first. I try a little of the text and then I decide if I want to venture in.
ReplyDeleteHello! Just stopping by via the hop. I'm a teacher and aspiring librarian. I'm a new follower! :)

do pick up a book because of its cover...not necessarily buy it, but it does make me pick it up and check it out.
