Book Cover

[Sara, The Meme Mod!]

Do book covers draw you in? How important is a book's cover when choosing a book?

[Trina]

The covers do draw me in but isn't most important when choosing next book to read

[Sara, The Meme Mod!]

I agree - it won't completely deter me, but if a book cover catches my eye I get excited and immediately read the synopsis.

[Crissy]

I don't like to think that I take the cover into account when choosing a book to read but I definitely do. Colorful and creative covers draw me in enough to read the synopsis at the very least. I also tend to avoid covers with half naked, muscly men lol

[Brandy]

If I don't like the cover I will not even pick up the book to read the synopsis. Cover is huge for me.

[Maggie the Muskoka Library Mouse]

Yes. The cover helps catch my eye, and draw me in enough to read the synopsis.

I think about this every time I get my bookbub email - I completely fly right through the email if the book cover doesn't catch my eye.

There's a game you can play... http://playjudgey.com/

This game will allow you to actually judge a book by it's cover!

[Brandy]

I do like judging by the cover. I may need to play!

I'm very superficial. Pretty books get me every time lol

[Esther]

When I look at a book the first thing I look at is the cover. Also when you take the safety cover off if the actual book is pretty I am down.

Speaking of...has anyone seen Leigh Bardugo's new book, The Language of Thorns? Swoooooon, it's so freaking beautiful!

[Sara, The Meme Mod!]

What!? Omg is this part of the Shadow and Bone Series?

[Lindsay]

It's set in the Grishaverse but it's a collection of short stories!

[Sara, The Meme Mod!]

Looks like three of them I've already read and there's 2 or 3 new ones. Ehh I liked em so much I'd read the whole thing.

[Lindsay]

It's worth it just to look at it even haha

The whole book is illustrated and it's just. SO. PRETTY.

[Sara, The Meme Mod!]

Oh wow, even better!

[Esther]

Book covers are very important to me. I mean I will read a book that a friend or family member recommend to me but if I am picking them out myself it is very important.

I bought it and looked through it. It is literally the most beautiful book I have ever seen. Did you know that every story only uses three different colors? Yea I went to see the author when it came out and that is what she said. It was to bring down the money cost.

I can't wait to read it!
