Judging A Book by It's Cover, is a weekly challenge that will be held every Wednesday, but you can complete at your own pace.
The gist of it I will go to my To Be Read on Goodreads and pick a book solely on it's cover. You can pick from books at home, shelfari, amazon, goodreads, etc.
At one point I read the synopsis so feel confident of the books in my TBR are ones I would enjoy, however for some reason I have not picked it up since adding it.
I will post the cover of the book with my initial thoughts on what I think it will be without rereading the synopsis. Once I have finished the book, I will write the review and compare review to cover. I think this is an interesting type of challenge and could be a lot of fun. Plus it gives me a chance to tackle books that either caught my eye or the cover has turned me off and I have not given a chance.
This week I am chosing:
Initial Thoughts: My guess is it is two total opposites coming together and falling in love. Perhaps one is a chic person and the other a blue collar worker. The cover doesn't give you much to work with.

You're right, this cover's a little tricky. Not much to go by, but I do enjoy a good opposites attract romance :0)

I like this idea though I can already tell you if you were to shelve my book on TBR, other than those eyes haunting you, I can't imagine why you'd pick it up again--the eyes ARE a critical part of the story but you'd have NO clue from the cover.
ReplyDeleteStill, I like this challenge idea. Sounds fun! Might be more food for thought for my Indie Author self than my Voracious Reader self, too :)
