“Don’t judge a book by its cover.” And yet I always do.

If the book cover doesn’t capture my eye, I’m probably never going to open it or pick it up. For instance, if the book has an image of the characters on it, it ruins my chance to make up what I think they look like or if the cover gives too much away, I lose interest. I love covers that give off a mysterious vibe. My brain gets excited by that. This may be a huge flaw of mine that I try to correct but it just happens sometimes. I’m sure I’m not alone in this.

Edit: I also can’t stand when a book is made into a film and then they put the film poster as the cover art for the book it’s based on. Drives me nuts.
