Tell Me Something Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by Heidi @ Rainy Day Ramblings. Each week a new question is presented. Check out Heidi's blog for all the details :)
This week's question: How much does a book cover play into your decision to pick up a book?
I will openly admit that it plays into my decision a lot! If I'm browsing the aisles of a store and I see a book that catches my eye, I always stop to see what its about. It also works the other way - if I see a book and the cover doesn't appeal to me, I may not pick it up. Sometimes the title of the book, or the author, will make me pick it up even if the cover isn't great.
That being said, it's not the only way I check out a book. If I've heard good things about it or read books by that author before, then I'll likely pick it up to see if it's something that I would enjoy.
Agree. I've picked up so many books based largely on the cover alone...
ReplyDeleteI'll probably continue to do it too! It catches peoples eyes and then we want to know more!
DeleteCouldn't agree more. It is rare for me to buy a book with an ugly cover unless I have heard amazing things about it. I am much more easily swayed in to buying a beautiful book!
ReplyDeleteMe too! (: Then they have such good shelf appeal as well (:
