30.7 - Delicious Dee's task: Don't Judge a Book By Its Cover
Whenever I am at the bookstore, I'm attracted to the books that have the really attractive covers and end up buying them. Sometimes they live up to the beauty of the cover and other times they don't.

For this task, you will try to not judge a book by its cover, or will you? This is a 2 book task - flip 2 coins by hitting flip again 1 time.

If you get 2 heads, read 2 books with covers that you love.
If you get 2 tails, read 2 books with covers that you dislike or that you wouldn't normally pick up.
If you get 1 heads and 1 tails, read 1 book with a cover you love and 1 book with a cover you don't like.

Required: Include the results of your coin toss and provide a link to the title or cover (preferred) when you post.
Optional: Tell us what you liked/didn't like about the cover when you selected the book and answer the question - was the book better than the cover? Or was the cover better than the book?

1 tail: I hate books with half naked people. I get embarrassed reading it in public. This ones on my Nook.
1 tail: The cover is so corny and overdone. It looks like every other book.

whatever works for you - that is the good thing about this task...but I love my half-naked men on the covers ;)

[Felina]

I like to look at them alone but not on the bus. ;)

[Dee]

yeah, I just refused to get embarassed - but that is just me - I used to go to the library and walk back carrying an armful of Silhouette Desire books when I was a teen ;)

[Felina]

You are stronger than I.
