It might be a good story anyway. A cover is definitely an important part of getting readers attention and a bad cover is going to make me pass over the book and never even pick it up!<br /><br />Megan @ <a href="http://www.readitseeit.net/" rel="nofollow">Read It, See It</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572136475100574200.post-47874918255382853752011-04-08T19:42:54.890-05:002011-04-08T19:42:54.890-05:00New follower!

I am more likely to pick up a book if I like the cover and I have even purchased books just because the cover caught my eye.

But, I think there are those that do more than others. I'm more of an in between person. Pretty covers lure me to a book, but if the synopsis doesn't sound interesting, I won't read the book. And, I've read plenty of books with craptastic covers that have become a favorite.Jenni Elysehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403700912436098391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572136475100574200.post-55442945491619550962011-04-08T13:35:41.893-05:002011-04-08T13:35:41.893-05:00The cover invites you into the book.

Nice to meet you.<br /><br />For me, it is the cover and the title that tempt me to read the blurb. If the blurb reads great, I'll grab the book. I remember the first time I saw Harry Potter's book covers, I was like, O_o...not sure if I liked them.
