Follow Friday



Every Friday Parajunkee host Follow Friday, this is your chance to meet new friends and visit old ones. :)
This is your chance to learn a little bit more about your favorite/new bloggers.


Today's question is:
 
 
Do you judge a book by it's cover?
 
I'm going to have to say guilty.  I know it's terrible, but if I'm wondering around a book store looking for a book to purchase with no list it's usually the cover that draws me in. Once I read the blurb that determines whether I actually buy the book or not. But, if I've heard about a certain book or have had a lot of recommendations to check a certain book out then the cover doesn't matter.
 
 
So do you judge a book by it's cover? Leave a link to your site and i'll check it out. Happy Friday! :)

  2. Oh I'm the same way! If I don't have a book in mind when shopping, the cover is what will draw me in. I'm already a follower! My FF is at Coffee Table Reviews

  3. Thanks for stopping by myblog. I am the same way. If I just browsing at a bookstore the cover is what makes me pick up the book to read the synopsis/blurb.

    Happy Friday!

  7. I don't just books by their covers. I'm weird I guess.

  8. I don't think it's a matter of guilt - we all do it. I think all of us pick up a book with a pretty cover but most people read the blurb and look at reviews too.

  10. 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 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!?
