We've all been told not to judge a book by its cover. But we all do it. We also judge books by their titles. I know that a lot of work goes into cover art - and so I think it's an acceptable factor in your decision to spend $15-$20 on a book that it cover and/or title be pleasing. So here are 10 books that I've judged and bought based on their cover art and/or title. And whether or not that judging led me astray.
Guilty as charged. I have been sucked into checking out or buying a book because of the cover. I have to remind myself when I'm in the store, that I should not buy a book just because of the cover. I actually skipped over We, the Drowned twice in Borders closing sale because of it, only to see it on my Goodreads to be read list, so I actually let myself cave for it.
My Top Ten covers (that I can think of):
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
