Blog Hop #13



Happy Friday, everyone! I met a lot of new bloggers participating in the Book Blogger Hop last month. I am excited to check out some new book blogs today. Be sure to go to Crazy For Books to learn more about this awesome opportunity. Check out her post and come join the fun!  



Question of the week:  Do you judge a book by its cover?    
 I truly wish I could say no to this, but I do.  I get sucked in by a great cover when I'm at the library or the book store.  Who doesn't? This past year I've expressed my cover love for Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick and Fallen by Lauren Kate.  I even love the new covers for some of the classics, such as Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.  However, I also have enjoyed books that have what I feel is a mediocre cover.  But for the record, a good cover just makes a great book even better!  What do you guys think?


Also, be sure to check out my three giveaways.  One is a SIGNED copy of Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare!  Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!

    hi there! I'm a new follower from the blog hop :)

    I definitely judge books by their covers, but I also weigh in the author, the concept, and a million other little details, as well haha

    Hopping by. I agree about the Hush, Hush cover. It was what first got me interested to find out more about the book.
