It seems like I'm doing the complete opposite. I don't immediately buy the book by its cover. Even though the cover seem to catch my attention, in order to make sure that the book is really interesting I first read the summary and there I decide if the book is really worth to buy. Other than that I check the price if it is expensive or not. I cannot waste my money on a boring book you know (in my opinion). The cover may be beautiful and interesting but u might become disappointed once you read what it is all about, that's why "you cannot judge the book by its cover" that's my motto.

We shouldn't judge a books by it cover, most people said it. Sometimes it can't be helped, everytime I saw awesome books cover, surely I will pick it. But now I only pick a books if it have good and strong story (by synopsis at the back of the books cover). Fallen was the novel that recently caught my eyes.

I've read Through the Looking Glass and Alice's Adventures in the Wonderland. I like the stories a lot and I don't know why but the covers and illustrations to them are the most catchy and interesting. And crazy)

The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch (I dunno, something about all that BLUE) and Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut (yet more blue...maybe I'm just attracted to the colour blue?).

I remember when I saw 'The Taker' written by Alma Katsu. The cover so promising that the story will come out as expected. Different than the other.
