How important are book covers in getting you to read a book?
~~~~~~~~
Book Covers are somewhat important in getting me to read a book. If a book cover is really racy, that will automatically turn me off. I like a book with some substance to it. I read enough of the hot, steamy, romance books in my earlier years; no more. Now, if it is a historical romance, set in a time period that I’m really interested in, I might give it a read.
My taste in books has turned more to mystery, thrillers, science fiction, fantasy, and horror. Even in those genres, my taste varies, so I always read the book blurb. The book blurb is most important for me to read a book.
I love a good literary fiction, too.
Book reviews are something I turn to the most. It matters to me what others who have read the book thought about it. A few good book reviews can help me make the decision of, ‘To Read, or not To Read’. Even the bad reviews help me to decide; especially if the reason for the bad review is not something I’m looking for anyway.
Book cover ..is important as the title. It must attract as an idea and make me purchase it too 🙂 books are read-re- read so many times..yet we want to read again.
