Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer, where you answer a question and join a “hop”. The purpose is to help bloggers discover and get to know one another.
For this week’s Book Blogger Hop, Elizabeth @ Silver’s Reviews asks:
Would you or do you choose a book solely on the cover?
100%! I’m a sucker for a great cover. I’ve made many, mannnny purchases over the years simply because the cover caught my eye.
In my opinion, great cover design is absolutely critical.
Of course, I’m also constantly reminding myself NOT to judge books too harshly based on their covers 🙂
Thanks for reading!
Can you remember a book you picked up simply based on the cover?
Good cover design really is important! Idk that I’ve ever read a book solely for the cover, but it definitely impacts my decisions!

It’s hard not to stop and look and the pretty covers! I feel like we gravitate naturally to covers that are within our genre as well, so we pretty much know we’re getting into a great read! Lol.
Thanks for visiting my BBH!
Agreed!! 🙂 And of course! Thanks for stopping by mine as well 🙂
I try not too because MANY books haven tricked me in the past.
Ha! I totally hear that!!
For me, the cover may draw me in, but I wouldn’t buy unless I also liked the blurb etc.
😀
Good covers are important and I’ve picked up books based on the cover before, but not sure I’ve bought one just because of the cover.

Yes, I’ve been sucked in by a good cover many times lol.
Good covers are just so powerful!! 🙂
Oh, I’m definitely a sucker for pretty covers! That’s why I say to self-pubbed authors: don’t skimp on your cover! It could be the difference between someone picking up your book and ignoring it all together.
100%!!!
As with most of us, the cover is definitely what attracts me in the first instance but I always read the blurb too. 😉
Here’s my BBH post

It is always the cover. No matter what I tell myself, the decision begins there!
😀
I think I’ve only read a book based solely on the cover once (a prompt for a reading challenge). The cover is definitely what draws me in, but I always like to know what I’m getting into before I start a book!

No never. A great cover or title might make me look at the blurb but I’ll never read or buy unless the blurb sounds good. I’ll pick up great sounding books with poor covers but I never buy a great cover for a dull sounding book.
hahaha that’s so good! I need to work on that for myself 🙂
Glad I’m not the only who falls for a nice cover. 😂
😀
The cover is the #1 reason I read a book. I buy lots and lots of books based on their covers!

I think at this point, you kind of expect books to have really good covers. i feel like when we buy a book, we are not only paying for the story, but the cover. I have definitely bought books based on the cover or at least sought out certain editions based on covers.
Agreed!! 🙂
