Book Blogger Hop (5) and Follow Friday

Follow Friday is a weekly event created by Rachel at Parajunkee's View and features a different book blogger every week with an attached question!




Q: Do you judge a book by it's cover?

A: Most of the time, yes. I feel very superficial in doing so knowing that great books do not always have very pretty covers. I judged the first book in the Vampire Academy series by it's cover for so long and I would not read it because the girl on the cover looked a little like Angelina Jolie. That was all I needed to make my decision not to read it. I continued to hear such great things about it that I eventually and read it! I am whole heartedly glad that I did.

The Book Blogger hop is a place just for book bloggers and reader to connect and share our love for the written word. This amazingly fun weekly event is hosted by Jennifer at Crazy for Books!

Postponed 'til later!

I can’t help but judge a book by a cover b/c I’m a graphic designer so it bothers me times 1,000,000…hahaha. Happy Friday XD

I so agree with you about that cover. She certainly looks like Angelina Jolie. I would have put it off too.

That girl does look like Angelina! Wow, I never really realized it before! New Follower! I judge books by their covers too! It drives me nuts that I do it!

I judge mostly when browsing in person, less so online where I have reviews and ratings right there. But there are some awesome books out there with bad covers.

Zomg, totally agree about VA. I didn't like that cover at all...I think they got better over time. Thx for stopping by.

Thanks for stopping by my blog and following! I'm looking forward to reading your blog. I often don't even look at a cover for a book, and have a bad memory for what the covers of the books I have read look like. Oh well. Its what's inside the covers that counts most isn't it?

I agree I wasn't fond of the covers for VA, but I read them right after my twilight fix so vampires was all I needed. :)

I hate that same thought about Jolie, yet, I still haven't read the book. I guess I need to now?

Anyways, thanks for visiting my blog Novel Addiction. Everyone seems to love the Vamp Academy novels.. I guess I will have to try them. I hope you have a good weekend!
