Book Blogger Hop!


The Book Blogger Hop is hosted by Jennifer @ Crazy for Books.Stop by and get hopping!

This week's question:
Do you judge a book by its cover?
Yes, actually, I do. Now I've read my share of "beautiful on the inside books" (I just finished one, as a matter of fact) but having pretty cover designs is what draws my attention to books, a lot of times. It's what makes me notice them in the first place.

In fact, take a look at my last post - I listed a few lucky debut authors whose books got the royal cover treatment!

Be sure to leave your link, too, so I can return the hop!

Hi :) First off, I love you header and the quote. I'm guilty of overlooking books simply because they don't use bold covers. I'm trying hard now to look a little closer. Hope you have a fun weekend and I'm a new follower !!

Hope you Hop by my site

Saw the blog name so I had to hop on over.

Yes BIG TIME COVER FIEND! My Achilles Heel deals with an eyecatching cover and voila the cashier rings in the tell. Hmmm covers.... ahhhhhhhhhh.

Nice site and love the widgets.
Enjoy the weekend :)

Just hopping by to say have a great weekend. I also judge a book by its cover, I think it's impossible not to.

Just found you via the Hop and am loving your layout. Off to read some of your reviews!

Hopping through. I look at covers carefully. Sometimes my favorite covers though are simple ones that others may not appreciate as much. I loved the hardback If I Stay Cover and the cover for North of Beautiful.

Hi Amelia, thanks for hopping by :)

I'm so happy you liked my blog and its design! :D It took me three days to fix up the HTML. So frustrating... :(

Deepali said...

Hi! Great post on the cover art , you really picked out some pretty good looking ones. I had no idea some of those were even for Debut authors :)
I ALSO have my last post being relevant to the question from this time's hop - the making of the cover for the latest Parasol Protectorate novel.
Let me know what you think!

Beautiful blog...new follower.

I do pick up a book because of its cover...not necessarily buy it, but it does make me pick it up and check it out.

Hopping by.
