It's no biggie.if you don't want to then you don't have to.

I believe dont judge a book by its cover so np
Mod
I have to admit the cover is important to me. Initially, anyway. Hope that doesn't make me a shallow person. And I do like the covers from days of old better. The old pulp covers, Bantam, and Gold Medal. d.

I don't judge the content. What I meant was the cover is important for me initially, eye attracting. If a mystery has a picture of Godzilla on the front I'm probably not going to pick it up. That kind of think.
Oops, sorry, by no means did I intend to alienate anyone with my book cover comments. I think book covers are critical to the industry. A friend of mine, Lee Goldberg is the publisher of Brash books. He told me that in the past he has published a book and it languishes in sales. He changes the cover, (sometimes two and three times) until the sales improve. So I do think cover's are important. I'll read a book with a cover that doesn't intrigue me if the reviews are great.
I think book covers are very important.
Just finished reading City of Windows, and I'm almost done with Bloody Genius. On deck is Dragonfly by Meacham and Wanders by Wendig. Also, Clash of Eagles and The Legal Limit by Martin Clark.
I posted a review of City of Windows on GR. I liked it well enough, there were some issues that caught me and down graded from five stars to four. But more than likely it could be attributed to my author sense more than my reader sense. I did enjoy the book a great and it could've been a better than average thriller for me had those issues not clouded the read.John Sanford books are my go-to reads. There is something about the voice that is so engaging, especially the Virgil Flowers series. I was just thinking about why, this morning and I think it's his chosen structure. The majority of the time he is in scene. There is very little telling the story in narrative or exposition. I think this allows for a deeper immersion in the Fictive Dream.
Sorry, let me know if I ramble on too long about structure and style too much.
Sarah, you should read Flipped by Wendelin Van Draanen.
You should check it out, it's a middle-grade romance.
Here are my recommendations for anyone who enjoys fantasy, Sci-fi, YA. The Lightning Thief
The Red Pyramid
The Sword of Summer
A Darker Shade of Magic
I Am Number Four
The Merchant of Death
Strange the Dreamer
Divergent
A Game of Thrones(If you have patience to read the archaic language and are ready for some adult content).
