    It breaks my heart when a great book has an ugly cover. Totally breaks my heart - they are definitely out there.

    Hi hi! Old follower just stopping by for the hop. I, too, judge a book by its cover. I think almost everyone does! And if they don't think they do, they probably do subconciously lol. :)

    Anyway, I hope you're doing well and if you have some time, stop by my blog and read some of my recent reviews! I haven't been getting that many comments lately and it's THE SADNESS! Help me out lol. Thanks! *hugs*

    It's hard not to judge a book by it's cover. That's why covers are so important. Thank goodness we have blogs to tell us about the awful covers that are great books!! Happy reading!

    Hopping through. I agree that not so great covers can make great books - like Anna and the French Kiss.

    Yes, I surely do judge a book by the cover. Not always but more often then not. I'm known for not reading synopsis so if your cover doesn't show me what I want to know or if someone doesn't recommend it... chances are I'm reading someone else's book.

    I hate when ugly books have bad covers but when books are on your bookshelf, you can only see the spine anyway. Plus, if I get a book on my reader, I don't see it much if at all.

    Seems like everyone is a cover lover! :) Pretty covers just make books more appealing to me or creepy covers. I am so obsessed with the Anna Dressed in Blood cover. It is so creepy!

    Hi Christy! New follower for both here and on Networked blogs!

    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.

    Hello there! Just hopping through here. :D You have a really nice blog.

    I also go after cover in most cases. At least while searching for a new one. Wouldn't buy a pretty book without thinking I'd like the story though!

    I feel the same. And some books with great covers end up being not as good as the ones without. It can go either way.

    Happy reading :-)
