Book Blogger Hop - 9/8 - 9/14

 Question of the Week:
Have you ever bought a book because you liked its cover art? (submitted by Billy @ Coffee Addicted Writer)


My Answer: 

I have to admit that covers do draw me in.

I look at the cover before I look at the summary on the back.

So...my answer is yes...I would buy a book for its cover.

      I agree...so far so good for me too.

      The cover seems to reflect the inside in most cases.

      Thanks for commenting, Emma.

    I would look at a book because of its cover but don't think I've ever bought one because of it.

    Covers have been the reason I have given a book a closer look, but never the sole reason I buy a book or even decide to read it. I'm afraid I'm more picky than that. Haha.

    I hope you have a great weekend, Elizabeth. Thank you for sharing!

      Definitely take a first and second look when I see an appealing cover.

    I'm the same way! I always check out the synopsis but a beautiful cover will draw me in. I haven't always been that way, when I was younger I could totally go into a book store and start grabbing books off the shelves if it looked good. Now, present me doesn't even know how I did that. I probably wasted so much money on books I didn't even like. Hahaha.

    Great answer! <3 hope you have a fantastic weekend Elizabeth!

    A pretty cover always pulls me right in, but the synopsis is the deal breaker for me and whether I will make the purchase! I hope you have a lovely weekend Elizabeth :)

      Agreed - usually the pretty cover means good things inside. :)

    Definitely covers are the draw but I also pick up due to titles! <3

    The cover makes me check out a book, but it wouldn't be the reason I bought it.

    I always buy books based on the cover and the synopsis. If the cover is tacky or cheap looking but the synopsis is still good, then I could forgive the bad cover haha!

      That makes sense to forgive the cover if the book is good. :)

    I'm the same way: the covers draw me in and then I read the blurb.

    Have a great week!
