Sometimes I don't even read the books (though I always intend to...). But yes, it's definitely an affliction I have! It's harder to pick up those books with less desirable covers, but I sure attempt to do so anyway!candacerobinsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490929628839780909.post-33752641922339610512013-07-17T23:11:48.278-05:002013-07-17T23:11:48.278-05:00ooh I agree and how about when they change covers ...ooh I agree and how about when they change covers going into the second or third book..grr but that is another subject to rant about..kimbacaffeinatehttp://www.caffeinatedbookreviewer.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490929628839780909.post-38061329514013590062013-07-17T23:11:47.481-05:002013-07-17T23:11:47.481-05:00totally agree about fav authors..i would buy book ...totally agree about fav authors..i would buy book with a brown paper bag cover by my favs!kimbacaffeinatehttp://www.caffeinatedbookreviewer.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490929628839780909.post-7795544174696555792013-07-17T23:11:38.242-05:002013-07-17T23:11:38.242-05:00*stands and drools at your remarkably pretty books...*stands and drools at your remarkably pretty bookshelves and whimpers*kimbacaffeinatehttp://www.caffeinatedbookreviewer.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490929628839780909.post-34872350824922441952013-07-17T23:11:36.253-05:002013-07-17T23:11:36.253-05:00hehehe..tell her you are a book cover connoisseurhehehe..tell her you are a book cover connoisseurkimbacaffeinatehttp://www.caffeinatedbookreviewer.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490929628839780909.post-65672814167909869832013-07-17T23:11:31.219-05:002013-07-17T23:11:31.219-05:00test on IE7test on IE7kimbacaffeinatehttp://www.caffeinatedbookreviewer.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490929628839780909.post-77201247913439974782013-07-17T23:11:26.228-05:002013-07-17T23:11:26.228-05:00hahaha I so agree with everything you said!hahaha I so agree with everything you said!kimbacaffeinatehttp://www.caffeinatedbookreviewer.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490929628839780909.post-81689840528013316032013-07-17T23:11:25.218-05:002013-07-17T23:11:25.218-05:00oh i am a total cover whore. i mean there's a ...oh i am a total cover whore. i mean there's a reason why they have whole departments dedicated to designing and making covers that they think will appeal to people. covers are important. that doesn't mean that a book with a bad cover is bad or one with a good cover is good but, it is often people's first impression of a book and you want it to catch people's eyes. these days, if i don't love a cover, i might just get an e-book copy instead.fishgirl182http://www.nitelitebookreviews.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490929628839780909.post-60925681131592418252013-07-17T23:11:22.205-05:002013-07-17T23:11:22.205-05:00I can totally be a cover whore!

I like to think that I would read anything that sounds intriguing, BUT an awesome cover almost always can tilt my decision to purchase a book from "maybe" to "definitely." I'm so annoyed that I already have the hardcover for JK Rowling's A Casual Vacancy because I like the new paperback cover so much better -- I'm not so much of a cover whore that I will buy duplicates, but if someday down the line I find a copy at a used bookstore, I would definitely trade in my hardcover!Christine @BucklingBookshelveshttp://bucklingbookshelves.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490929628839780909.post-59569487004596316072013-07-17T23:11:19.388-05:002013-07-17T23:11:19.388-05:00Now you have me intrigued, I must go look at the p...Now you have me intrigued, I must go look at the paperback cover since I loathed the hardback cover!!kimbacaffeinatehttp://www.caffeinatedbookreviewer.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490929628839780909.post-31230356560305869432013-07-17T23:11:18.208-05:002013-07-17T23:11:18.208-05:00thanks, I hunted it down immediately and yes I lik...thanks, I hunted it down immediately and yes I like it much better.kimbacaffeinatehttp://www.caffeinatedbookreviewer.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490929628839780909.post-22775964583551935692013-07-17T23:11:17.187-05:002013-07-17T23:11:17.187-05:00It comes out in July: http://www.goodreads.com/boo...It comes out in July: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17251093-the-casual-vacancyChristine @BucklingBookshelveshttp://bucklingbookshelves.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490929628839780909.post-63696219919907290192013-07-17T23:11:12.226-05:002013-07-17T23:11:12.226-05:00that is too funny, they sent me a pleasing light b...that is too funny, they sent me a pleasing light blue cover on my most recent ARC.

I have a problem, I know judging a book by its cover and all, but often at times what the author chooses to put across the front of their book is usually a good indicator of the inside. Judging the cover works sometimes and not so much in other cases, I try to be fair in both by reading the blurb before coming to a conclusion though!

Honestly, I don't like to think that I am that shallow (ppft!), but I doubt I'll be changing my ways any time soon either. Though, if there is a cure, I'd love to have it. I'm probably read better books and spend less money. ;)<br /><br /><br />Awesome post, darling!Sam @ Realm of Fictionhttp://realmoffiction.blogspot.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490929628839780909.post-82188680233550938602013-07-17T23:09:03.868-05:002013-07-17T23:09:03.868-05:00hahahahahaha....thanks for the giggle, and I wish ...hahahahahaha....thanks for the giggle, and I wish you luck with the program..probably works as good as the book buying ban group..pfft!kimbacaffeinatehttp://www.caffeinatedbookreviewer.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490929628839780909.post-81027703148528901572013-07-17T23:09:02.875-05:002013-07-17T23:09:02.875-05:00*snickers and nods head* a fellow cover whore :)*snickers and nods head* a fellow cover whore :)kimbacaffeinatehttp://www.caffeinatedbookreviewer.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6490929628839780909.post-44042671886255133902013-07-17T23:09:01.913-05:002013-07-17T23:09:01.913-05:00LOL!
