Certain books can catch my attention just because of their reputation (from authors or series). For example, the last Harry Potter book caught my attention as soon as it came out just because I had read the previous books. Other than that, books that contain pictures (like motorcycle diaries) catch my attention. Other factors such as genre, author, and awards/achievements listed on the cover catch my attention. Often, the cover is enough to catch my attention.

I Love Judging Books by Their Covers (...maybe that's why I don't read more...)

I agree, I also judge books by covers a lot!
ReplyDeleteThe Harry Potter series is awesome. It brings fantasy to life and keeps you reading for more.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it is the cover that is catching your attention. Because if you said you read it because of their reputation, I'm sure you would read Harry Potter if it did not have a cover..
