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!
Visting from the Hop? Thanks so much for spending some time here! Feel free to leave a link to your own blog in the comments so I can come visit.

Hi :)
I was a big judger of covers until I almost missed out on reading a series that is one of the most EPIC romance fantasy series I've ever read. It's a hard habit to break. Hope you have a fun weekend!!

I blame it on picture books. I love children's picture books. The cover is very important in a children's picture book, right?
I hope you'll stop by my blog when you get a chance. www.readerbuzz.blogspot.com
Hopping through... I actually like the cover of your current book "The Almond Picker"

Happy Friday!!!
I do judge books by their covers, but I also judge by authors and the general feeling I get when I pick up a book...as geeky as that might sound :)
Thanks for visiting, everyone! I'll return the visit.

Happy hopping, and have a good weekend away! :)
Right there with you on this! I try not to "judge" by the cover, but if you know nothing about the author or title, something has to draw you to the book whether it's the cover art, font choice, or cover. Have a great weekend...and happy reading! ^_^
Oh man, this is a good question! I judge a book by its cover all the time. If it doesn't appeal to me, then I sort of just ignore it. Ah! I just can't help it. But if I do read a brilliant review about it, I'll definitely give it a second chance. Have a fantastic weekend, Emidy! :)
Also visiting from the Hop, and I love your reading list...I'll be stopping in again!
I absolutely judge a book by its cover. Sometimes I'll read or not read a book based on the cover alone. I know it doesn't make sense, but I just can't help myself.
found you on the blogger hop. :)
