Wer'e Doing the Book Blog Hop

How's Your week been ? Mine's Been Good , Check out my new Posting about Spy Books for Children and Teens In the Literary Musings of the Phantom Paragrapher . It is titled "A New Generation of Heroes" inspired by the release of the movie based on the series by John Marsden "Tomorrow When the War Began".

Today's Question :

This week's question comes from:
Sarah @ SarahReadsTooMuch
                                                          Do you judge a book by its cover?

I know that we are supposed to be living in a "do not judge a book by it's cover" society , but I am one that falls guilty of this , not all the time but the majority . If the book is by an author that I througholy enjoy and have read all their books , I don't judge it by their cover but if it is a book that I haven't heard of or an author then I have to admit I do judge the book by the cover , I can't help it "I Love Pretty Covers". So in terms of generalisation about judging books by covers I'd have to say 60% of the time I do and 40% of the time I don't.

                                                                 Questions for the Readers
                                            
                                                   1) Do you judge a book by the cover ?
                                                  2) What is the most gorgeous book cover you have seen ?

    Yes I do judge a book by it's cover. It catches my attention, gives me a few hints about the book. The best cover I can remember so far is Phantom of the Opera. It's so simple yet classy and it really gives me an idea of what the book is about. Dropping by via the hop. :) I'm also a new follower. Hope you can drop by Cladestine Sanctuary Have great weekend.

    Hi :) I'm the same. If I know the author and have read their previous books, they're covers can be horrible and I'll still buy the book. Hope you enjoy your weekend!!
    Hope you Hop by my site

    Hey there! I noticed you on the book blogs ning site as well as the hop, and I thought I'd stop by to say Hi!
    I also tend to judge books by their cover, although I doubt I could pick a favorite. Too many great ones! Although, I have noticed that the YA genre seems to put a LOT better looking covers on their books than the adult... Not always, but often.

    Anyway, I'm excited to continue looking around!

    @Ashley - I agree with you , for some reason YA books have more amazing covers than some of the adult books that are released . Maybe it's because they think that adults aren't judge by the cover people -little do they realise that no matter how old we get , we all still have the tendency to judge books by their covers.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

Review: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
