Do you judge a book by its cover?
I am so guilty of this one! I've almost missed some really good books because I thought the covers were awful. One example is Charline Harris' Sookie Stackhouse series. The covers are still awful (not the HBO ones), but I'm a die hard fan now.
So many books have turned up bad covers that were real treasures. Even with learning my lesson over and over again, I still do it. Plus, there are many a beautiful covers that have lead me astray. Somehow, I just keep going back for more punishment. What can I say I'm a real cover lover.
Weekly Overview:
- This Sunday Sweets, I went book hunting at the local thrift stores and made some runs to Borders.
- Books and Babbles was replaced by September Releases 2010. There are some fantastic debut authors and some old favorites this month!
- Glimmerglass, Jenna Black's debut into the YA scene, was reviewed.
- Wednesday Wishes turned up some promising books.

I definitely do judge books by their covers, but it's not the ultimate deciding factor haha :)
I know what you mean, I am often tricked by an awesome cover hiding a lame story. :) But I love covers! They are the first appeal.

I think we all judge books by their covers, even though we know from experience that we shouldn't. Silly us!

The ending purchase point is never based soully on the cover.
