Let's start hopping!!
This weeks blog hop question is: Do you judge a book by its cover?
Yes, I do sometimes. I read Torment, Dead Tossed Waves & Getting Revenge on Lauren Wood based solely on their covers. With mixed results I might add. I have also avoided a book because of the cover. Most recently The Ghost & the Goth. A friend sent it to me and it was fantastic! But I would have never read that book on my own because of the cover.
Her question this week is: What is your favorite brick and mortar bookstore?
I only have a few stores where I live to choose from so I'm going to go with Barnes and Nobel. They just moved to a new plaza and they have a fantastic YA and paranormal Sci-fi section. When I head out of town I go to Borders a lot but that's more for my husband since they have a good horror section for him. We don't have too many independent stores around so I mainly have to stick with the big guys!
I have a couple of contests going on the week:

ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea to use the bunny picture for your hop. Just hopped over from the Book Blogger hop.
ReplyDeleteI made the mistake of reading Fallen for its cover. I won't do that again, lol. How did you like Torment? Also, I keep checking but I might have missed it, have you posted the winners of the Mockingjay giveaway?
ReplyDeleteDanielle - Ughhh Fallen & Torment - http://www.fwiwreviews.net/2010/06/review-torment-by-lauren-kate.html
ReplyDeleteI'm done with that series no matter how pretty she makes the next cover! :-)

Well I do judge. I love a good cover design. Sometimes it makes you miss out. On your recommendation I'm reading "The Ghost and the Goth." I would've rolled my eyes if I saw that in B&N, but I'm pg.100 and really digging it! Also, I ordered "Hunger Games" on my Doubleday book order last night. See how you influence?
ReplyDeleteOh, I forgot the question. When I go to San Francisco (I'm close by) I love two independent stores there. Green Apple Books and City Lights where all the beatniks hung out in the 60's. Both those stores are great and I always find cool stuff.
ReplyDeleteColleen - That makes me so happy about Ghost & the Goth. It's such a cute book! I would have never read it either except for two friends recommending it to me. The bookstores sound awesome! I used to go to some really cool ones when we lived in Seattle years ago - nothing like that around here though :-(
ReplyDeleteHave a great hop! Really enjoying your posts, do visit me at e-Volving Books
