Follow Friday/ Book Blogger Hop (7)

Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee!


This week's question is:

Do you judge book's by their cover?

Yep! I'm the number one criminal of that offence. The 'Don't judge a book by it's cover' is a good saying metaphorically, but not so much when it applies to books in my opinion. These days, a book cover is what sells the book to you when you're in a book shop. There are whole teams of people to work on book covers. That's why I think there's no excuse for a bad cover, or one that either doesn't match the story or live up to it.

....and today's question isn't up yet. Not to fear, it'll be up soon.

  6. You are right - they SHOULD and often Do spend a lot of time and money on cover design -- so, you shouldn't feel like a criminal for paying attention! Happy Reading!

  7. I think if you are going to take a lot of time and effort over a book it's a crying shame not to give it a decent cover, as lots of us do judge a book by them. Just stopping by on FF. Have a great weekend.
