I love the Sookie books, so I am not swayed either way by the cover, although I admit I like the original art covers (like this one) rather than the reissued True Blood tv covers on some of the earlier books. The first cover I would definitely check out; I can't tell much about the story from it, and that's OK.Stephscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328839483008086049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122888753760790051.post-33246116277740268912011-05-30T04:51:41.512-05:002011-05-30T04:51:41.512-05:00I love nice covers.

However, if you had to ask me to choose a book based on its title, I'd probably go for She walks in Beauty and Skipping a Beat.Tammy (The Book Fairy's Haven)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14199128133219847316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122888753760790051.post-73426215069709019852011-05-29T11:05:24.188-05:002011-05-29T11:05:24.188-05:00A cool book cover gets you to turn the book over a...A cool book cover gets you to turn the book over and read the blurb or at least read the first page.

Not that I know what Skipping a Beat is about but it looks YA where the top one is poems, the next one not appealing, and the bottom one a memoir? A cover really does tell you a lot. I don't think it's bad to judge a book by its cover to some extent. Great post!Michelle Merrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00040685503147648297noreply@blogger.com
