Book (booklubber27) I definitely look at the book cover but I also look at the description and then I decide. So no, I do not base the book on just the cover(There are exceptions though :)). But the thing about a book cover - for me anyways - is it sets the mood for the story. What about you?

Ivy (ivymempin) | 7 comments Sometimes. I can't help it, when i saw some really pretty cover I won't even read the blurb. haha. it's like you know you might not like the story but "It has a pretty cover". SOLD!!

Annika Mae (annikawonderbooks) | 6 comments Most of the time XD Like if it is so pretty, I don't care what does it said on the back, as long as it is pretty <3

I know we should be "Don't judge a book by its cover." But the cover book can actually serve as an actual representation of the story. Like, you already have an idea what does the book all about.

Aibee Brews Actually, I am more of the "judging a book by its title" kind of book shopper and reader. Then turn the back cover and read the blurb. If I fancy the blurb, then it's for me. :)

Shepamatmat | 10 comments Guilty. It's the cover that entices me to read the summary of the book.

K. | 3 comments I don't, but I admit, book covers that sparkle my eyes instantly pull me like a magnet.
