The cover does help determine which books I read and/or buy. While I like looking at those hunky half dressed men I'm not sure I want to flash them around in all the different public places I read. We all judge books by their covers some of us the hunkier the better but others will judge not only the book but the person reading it.

Thu, 22 Sep 2011 01:36:15 +0000 http://www.bravaauthors.com/?p=6316#comment-19019 Ok seriously that is one of the best covers I've seen in a long time. I would buy the book for the cover alone :grin: I think it's a shame that there are really great stories out that get overlooked because of sucky covers. Unfortunately, no matter how many times we say it to ourselves not to judge a book by its cover... we still do. A great cover really adds to my overall excitement to reading a story especially if I am highly anticipating the book. The cover can tell a story all its own and either help or hinder the hard work of the author. I agree with you too... I enjoy the prints a bit more than the ebooks. Seems like I read faster too if the book is a print versus electronic :???: yadkny@hotmail.com Ok seriously that is one of the best covers I’ve seen in a long time.

I do LOVE my covers too. And sometimes, even though I might not get around to rereading one of those "keepers" I'll take it out and look at the cover now and then. ;-) Hey Leisa,
