Do You Judge a Book By Its Cover? Follow My Book Blog Friday Blog Hop 4/8/11


Do You Judge a Book By Its Cover?

I do more than I care to admit.  There are some books that I will read regardless of the cover because I know the author and love their work or the book came highly recommended.  Some books have the BEST covers and you just can't resist them.  Take Quicksilver as an example.

I haven't read this book yet but I love this cover!  My daughter, 18, read it and loved the book.  Just take a look at the hidden pictures on this cover and the colour is superb!   It sits on my TBR list and waits....  I have books for reviews that I must read first but this one is getting close to the top of the list, finally.  I am definitely looking forward to spending some time with this novel.

How about you?  Do you judge a book by its cover?  If so, have they been as good in content as the cover suggests?

Follow My Book Blog Friday Blog Hop 3/25/11






Question of the Week: Inspired by the inane twitter trend of #100factsaboutme, give us five BOOK RELATED silly facts about you.


Now, 5 book related facts about me:

1.  You know you're a bookish nerd when you'd rather spend recess in the library than outside playing.  That was me!

2.  By grade four I was reading adult level books.  My favourite at the time was Phantom Roan.  My teacher tried reading it to the class, at my request, for reading time but I was the only one who understood and liked it.  So she went to a story about cyclops instead!

3.  I read every Marguerite Henry horse book in elementary school! Loved them!!

4.  My favourite book from childhood is Black Beauty by Anna Sewell.  I still have the copy my grandparents bought me.

5.  I feel euphoric after a visit to a bookstore or library!
