Happy Friday everyone! The Follow My Book Blog Friday is hosted at Parajunkee's View. If you're a new follower, please leave a link to your blog in the comments so that I can visit your blog. This week's question is: Do you judge a book by its cover?
Yes! I’m a sucker for a book with a pretty cover and even though I read the summary and take recommendations from fellow bloggers, if I am on the fence about a book, I am very often swayed by the cover. Most times my cover love results in a great book, but once in a while I end up with a bad one.

Do you have any examples of books where you loved the cover but didn't like the book or vice versa?

Hopping through. I enjoy good covers, but the summary sways me more.

I love pretty books! I surely don't want to be displaying ugly ones! :)

If I'm on the fence, I probably won't buy the book. lol. I judge a book by its cover too. I have to say that I'm very particular when buying books so it isn't the only thing that goes into my decision.

Great answer! I rarely hate a book and love the cover, more often it's the other way around! Happy Reading!

Hi NC! Old follower.
For me, it is the cover and the title that tempt me to read the blurb. If the blurb reads great, I'll grab the book. I remember the first time I saw Harry Potter's book covers, I was like, O_o...not sure if I liked them. Love the inside but the covers weren't really to my taste.
Happy Follow Friday!!!

I think nice covers help sell books, even if the story isn't good. I've gotten a couple duds that way :( Great answer! I'm a new follower. My FF is at Coffee Table Reviews
Hi just stopping by from Follow Friday. I am a sucker for a pretty cover too. If it doesn't have a nice cover I'm tempted to not even read the summary.
Oh yeah, had similar experiences too with a book cover being gorgeous but the book should never have been published. Oh well.
Happy FF! :)
