30.7 Don't Judge a book by it's cover
I virtually tossed a coin and got two tails. I usually like romance and so I tend to like covers that seem romantic.
So I read
Breaking Night: A Memoir (which seemed dark and gray) by Liz Murray Loved It!!!
Second Book
A Visit from the Goon Squad by (Goodreads Author) Jennifer Egan (Odd cover if you ask me.) This is one of those books that you have to spend days processing. I just finished it at 2 a.m. last night. I know I couldn't put it down.

Cover I Disliked:
by Marie Belloc LowndesI read this novel for another Group and realized that it fit this task. I really dislike the over feel of the cover. The house and lighting do not represent the novel very well. I really disliked the second book.
