What Makes You Buy a Book?
I'm curious, what makes you buy a book?
For me, it's the cover first. Though the saying goes, "You can't judge a book by its cover," the cover is the first thing that either attracts me or repels me. I feel like the cover should offer some insight into what I can expect on the pages inside the book.
Second is the blurb. Again, I feel like the blurb should set me up and help me anticipate what I'll find when I read the story. If it's too vague or confusing, I might pass because I don't have enough of an idea about what I'm in for. While I don't want a summary of the entire story, I want it to entice me.
How about you?
I'm looking forward to see your take on this.
Hugs,
Debbie
