Ooo great post! I am definitely a 'judge a book by its cover' type. If the plot is good and the cover is bad, I'll still read it, but if the cover is amazing too then I'll feel more excited about reading it for some reason. Colourful book designs are great and I do find that when a book has multiple covers, I'll immediately become biased towards a certain one and only want to collect the series in that style or something. It's a tiny bookish pet peeve of mine to have a series with the same cover design style!
ReplyDeleteI'm totally with you! I'm hugely guilty of judging books by their covers. I think book cover art can do so much to either sell the book or make me disinterested. I've read books purely because I liked its cover, and turned down books because I didn't like its cover. Right or wrong, it's a fact of life for me that covers are a huge determining factor in my book selection.
DeleteOh sad. I can't see any of the covers. :( But, I'm definitely a covers person. I often pick up books just because I love their cover. If the cover isn't as awesome, I'll still read a book, but covers really do make a different to me in catching my eye, especially for books and/or authors I'm not familiar with.
ReplyDeleteI can see them now! Woot woot! Those are some crazy covers, but I like them!
DeleteOh good, so glad the imaging issue worked out! The Wizard of Oz cover particularly threw me. It fits the story, but wow it gives it a totally different tone, I think. Covers are huge to me, too.
