Oh boy, I'm loving these memes! Book Blog Hop is hosted by Jennifer at Crazy For Books.
This week's question is from Sarah @ SarahReadsTooMuch:
Do you judge a book by its cover?
This is too ironic since Jillian at Random Ramblings asked for a top 10 of fave book covers yesterday! I guess the short answer is yes. The long answer is I do for simple interest's sake (*should I stay or should I go now*) and I don't if I'm familiar with the title or author, because my interest is already piqued :o) Basically, I don't judge the content of the book by its cover, because to me, that reduces the entire text to a single image or idea (not fair, I say!) but a cover does entice me to pick it up or leave it.
Hoping to touch base with others! What do you think about this week's question?
I'm guilty! I always judge a book by its cover and the really stupid part is I keep doing it even though I've enjoyed great books with awful covers (recommended by a friend, since I didn't pick it up) and I've stopped reading less-than-wonderful books with enticing covers. I never learn.
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying your blog, by the way. Keep writing!
Jan~ Thanks for your comments! True, I think covers can be deceiving. Hmm...I'm trying to think of a book with a bad cover that was actually good...Will need to ponder that & get back to you.
