Musing Mondays #12

Hosted by Should Be Reading

This week’s musing asks… Would you choose to review a book if its description sounded interesting but the cover was terrible?

If I read the description first then, yes. I've come across several books, particular self-published, where I might not have read them based on the cover but where the description really won me over.
However, I am quilty of not bothering to look at descriptions in the first place if I see terrible covers in a bookshop or on offer in competitions.

So, yes for reviewing but I might not pick them up for pleasure.

How about you?

I'm a bit the same way. For review, sure, for pleasure, eh.

That's a great answer. I haven't reviewed books before but I would probably read it with a bad cover. Even though I'm a cover snob.

I haven't had that many books to review yet, but I'm hoping that over time I'll get more. Its a pity when a new book has a bad cover because it wll surely make it harderto persuade others to buy it. That's one of the reasons I never show covers when I review books, I want people to fall in love wth the idea of the book not just the cover.
