Yes. Yes. Yes. ALWAYS.
I always check the covers, if the cover is pretty, I'll read the summary and then decide. When the cover's not pretty I'll doubt it.
I can't help it. I know it's bad but come ON! pretty cover are much more.... umm... prettier xD?
In fact, I have a special section in my bookshelf for the books with prettier covers, neatly placed so that they can show off.
Surely I've discovered that Good Covers don't equal Good Books. some are Cover Love-Book Suck. It happens. A LOT ^^
If I Stay by Gayle Foreman. Damn - pardon me but- DAMN. this book got me bawling my eyes out! a serious must read. So sad and yet so beautiful :D
Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher. there's this part by the end of the book, where (name) is listening to Hanna saying goodbye, and it's just such an emotional part! I mean, I was TORN APART. Literary. another MUST READ. Brilliant book. and I brilliantly cried ^^.
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I cried like a baby when... someone dies. I won't say whom but I'll give a hint: Katniss sings a song after. it was SOOO sad.
Other titles in which I THINK I cried. I can't rember xDD!! but at least they did got me sentimental:
The Sky Is Everywhere. Twenty Boy Summer. The Dead-Tossed Waves. Before I Fall.
I this policy with books: If they make you cry, whatever the reason, they are EXCELLENT BOOKS. No matter if they don't become your favorites. still, they got to your core. it counts.
This was all, well, later on I'll post the Hop but for now it is. BUDD, BATMAN SANTA and GOD! BLESS THE FRIDAYS!!!! :DDDDDD! (I've been drowning in homework so, this is the happy dance!)
Have a nice weekend :)
I'm more likely to pick up a pretty cover too! I'm already a follower. My FF is at Coffee Table Reviews
ReplyDeleteLOL I love beautiful covers too! I also have a special space for them to show off!:D But it happened to me to read a good book with an ugly cover or a boring, not so good book with a pretty cover. They can't be all perfect, right?:))
ReplyDeleteHave a fab weekend!xoxo

The Hungers Games made me teary eyed! Great pick :)
ReplyDeleteI think we all judge a book, whether we want to or not. As long as there are words to paint a new world for me I'm happy.

And I absolutely judge a book by its cover! If I like the cover, I pick it up. It's as simple as that.
