I think all books should have lovely covers, sigh. Nobody likes an ugly book. And, yes, we shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but everyone DOES, so it matters (",).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-12755281596371701342010-03-25T01:03:01.164-04:002010-03-25T01:03:01.164-04:00oh i am sooooo easy. i will buy anything that Chr...oh i am sooooo easy. i will buy anything that Christian McGrath has drawn...<br /><br />http://www.christianmcgrath.com/<br /><br />Mso_mercurialhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09558869979824230348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-89758193684780804232010-03-17T21:42:32.227-04:002010-03-17T21:42:32.227-04:00That's a great idea!

I have a kindle and I sometimes forget books I've read because I don't have that visual stuck in my head of the cover. Plus I won't read a book on the kindle if it has a nice cover .....must hold!<br />Glad you liked the book Tiger - one of my all times favorites!<br />Katie - your better than me - if I'm really in love with a cover I have to buy it I can't resist. I don't do it very often though<br /><br />KarenKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13958940283330319507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-73579523671171443922010-03-17T19:15:19.234-04:002010-03-17T19:15:19.234-04:00it's always dangerous to be lured by a cover I...it's always dangerous to be lured by a cover I think...sometimes I wish they would let you buy the cover itself (ex. the dust jacket from hardbacks) if the story doesn't sound appeal to you lolnineflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07248914607640118555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-89542175630678980412010-03-17T17:24:03.968-04:002010-03-17T17:24:03.968-04:00I SO snap up books based on the cover.

Or rather, I used to do that all the time, but now that I'm more serious about reading and contemplating, I usually look up multiple reviews for every potential book I want to buy, but my interest is initially sparked by an awesome cover in most cases. I get a lot of inspiration from people's Waiting on Wednesday and In My Mailbox posts--it's helps me keeps tabs on the prettiest covers and most promsing stories.<br /><br />Oh, and just finished Victoria Dahl's Quinn and Lori book. Lovely cover /and/ story!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17140835320864680932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-73200535948712950502010-03-17T12:51:54.062-04:002010-03-17T12:51:54.062-04:00You know, I am lured in by the cover, but if the s...You know, I am lured in by the cover, but if the story doesn't sound interesting to me, I can put the pretty cover away.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08043565015354770094noreply@blogger.com
