I can stop any time . . . I promise, really. discussion

I can't help it - I'm often drawn in only by the title and/or cover art and I'll buy the book with just a cursory glance at the book jacket summary.

I am terrible about choosing a book by the cover! If there is a bad cover and/or title, it takes a strong recommendation for me to attempt the read. I hate how superficial that is, but I rationalize it by arguing that there are so many books to choose from, I have to discriminate somehow.

i usually check out the cover/title first, then i read the back of the book, but it's always the cover that gets my attention. is that really bad?

cover hooks me and than the description pulls me in

Hi everyone.
When I go to the library to choose books not already scheduled for reading on my to-read shelf, I'd say I'm sold by cover and/or title 85% of the time.
I'm a sucker for a great cover.

Usually the title 55% of the time the rest is the cover but i always check on the summary to see if its any good.

I work in a library! How great is that? I am surrounded by books, and work with them daily, cataloging, ordering, and processing them. I am drawn to great covers, especially if they look interesting and attractive. I do however have to read what it is about, and do take that into consideration before reading it. They make those covers look good for a reason. Authors who put more thought and/or money into the cover art, are very wise. Covers do sell books!
