It's finally Friday

I say this every single week, but I truly cannot believe that it's Friday! Why does time go by so fast? Please tell me. Anyways, let's move on to some more important stuff, in the form of a message: I'm going to be away this weekend so you won't see any posts from me! When I get back on Monday, I should have a review ready.

The Book Blogger Hop has come around once more! I love to network and discover some great book blogs. This event is perfect for doing that. So, join in! This week's question is:

Do you judge a book by its cover?

Kind of. If I'm browsing the bookstore or a library, a book's cover is the very first thing that makes me pick it off the shelf. I wouldn't say that I'm judging the book itself, but it is a definite factor when I choose ones that I know nothing about. I'm sure I've ignored many fantastic books thanks to my ignorance, but when there are hundreds around me, how else am I supposed to decide? Now, if someone has recommended a certain book to me or I found out about it on my own and wanted to read it, the cover is the least of my worries. In conclusion, I judge (or, rather, select) a book by its cover when I'm casually browsing by myself, but not when searching for something specific. The summary plays a bigger factor, but the cover is the hook that draws me in!
