Do You Judge a Book by the Cover?

I know we say not to judge a book by the cover, but let’s be honest.

Sometimes the cover is what makes us stop.

A pretty cover, a bold title, the right colors, or even just a certain mood can make you pick up a book before you know anything about it. Then the back cover pulls you in, and suddenly you are adding another book to your list like you do not already have enough waiting.

I think book covers are part of the fun.

Sometimes they match the story perfectly. Sometimes they surprise you. And sometimes the cover is so good you want the book before you even read the first page.

Do book covers make you want to read a book, or do you only care about the story?
