indeed it does
i feel like i’m not obeying the proverb “Don’t judge a book by its cover” :/ !

I agree. As well as the description on the cover, the reviews (if any), and along with tiny details that are on the cover.

But in the end it’s the story that stays with you

I will read a book based on its title and cover alone. I literally judge a book by its cover lol

Yeah, it’s the cover that gives me the final determination. But I read the blurb in the front of the book, and maybe the first few paragraphs as well. So even if I like the cover, the title, and the blurb, if the writing isn’t good, I won’t get the book.

Yes as well as the cover, I know you’re not supposed to judge a book by its cover but I can’t help it

Sometimes the title lures me but mostly the cover does. I like unique, plain or something I’m drawn to that’s unique.

I think Ray Bradburys’ Something Wicked This Way Comes is one of the best titles ever, and a good book.

I still I’ve Where the Wild Things Are, Dr. Seuss, Ronald Dahl. Reading knows no limits. People who try to set those limits are just too rigid. I taught for about 29 years. I had to work hard to keep the bet readers from displaying an elitist to kids who were doing their very best, no matter what the level.

I find it depends for me. Often it’s title, but when they’re displayed so I can see covers I sometimes get drawn to those first. Regardless, I have a tendency to read the back before I make my decision.

I actually generally don’t read into the book itself, but I’ve found my system works well enough for me.

Sometimes. For example, it’s certainly part of what got me into reading Kim Harrison’s HOLLOWS series.

Title and or cover is what will always draw a person toward the book first, or of course the name of the actual author.

Yes. For my recently finished novel, the editor got me to change the title as she was of the opinion that the readers are tempted to pick up the book if the title is appealing.

The cover prompts me to read the inside cover or back cover to see if I think I want to read it.
