Book Blogger Hop #23 and Follow Friday #18

The Book Blogger Hop is an awesome meme hosted by Jennifer from Crazy For Book and Follow Friday is another awesome meme hosted by Parajunkee from Parjunkee's View :D

Book Blogger Hop

Outside of books, what is your guilty pleasure?

My answer: Firstly, I don't think books are a guilty pleasure... :L Nor do I think my other 'guilty pleasures' are done guiltily... Anyway. I'm addicted to CityVille on Facebook. I literally can't stop playing it. I'm on it ALL the time... I love it! :L I love chocolate too, and could eat it all day long. But I gave it up for Lent so I haven't had any for a long time, and I'm craving it :L 


Do you judge a book by its cover?

My answer: Not completely, but the cover does effect how much I want to read it. If a book has a gorgeous cover, I'm much more likely to want to read it than if the cover was awful... :L That's not to say I won't read a book that has a cover I don't like, it's just the covers I love will get priority :D

  1. Oh I'm the same way! If the cover is something I like or love I'll give it a shot faster than a book with one that I don't like. Although I have been pleasantly surprised at books with covers I don't like! I'm already a follower! My FF is at Coffee Table Reviews

  2. I agree, the cover does influence my choices a lot.

  3. Oh that is interesting. I haven't read that answer thus far. I get that feeling by reading the back cover. Some make me curious and some make me so excited, I can't wait to read it.

  4. The cover has never really been my sole purpose for wanting to read the book. I have an appreciation for it or I don't but it doesn't effect my love or not so much love, for the story.

    Although, I did immediately fall in love with the cover for 13 to Life w/o knowing much about it. Of course the love still remained after reading the book as well!

    Here's my Friday Hops

  6. A great cover will draw me to a book, but it's the description and reviews that make me read it. Though, who wants to be seen around town reading a book with an ugly cover?

  7. I think we can all agree that even the most beautiful book cover can't sell a book if the writing's not there. Book cover art may, at best, help steer me in the book's direction (especially if I'm in a book store) but it's not going to hypnotize me into buying it right then and there.

    I expound on all the marketing qualities of a good book. Just follow me back to my book blog - http://www.howardsherman.net

    Thank God it's Follow Friday!?

  8. New follower! I always judge a book by it's cover! I can't help it; I'm superficial like that, haha :) But a book is a book no matter what! Have a happy weekend!

  10. Hi there! Perhaps a bit late, but still hopping through! New follower. :)

    Great answer! I have to say that I do judge them, perhaps a bit more than you do. ;) But I don't choose them because of cover, it's just what captures by eye that makes me interested in reading more. The storyline wins in the end!

  12. I really have no idea but I do. Mostly in the evenings. I fast forward through the commercials which cuts off some time and I watch while I'm cooking or folding clothes - times when I can't really read. :)

    I use to be addicted to Farmville on Facebook but had to stop. It was bad. :P

  13. Thanks for commenting (:

    I totally agree with you on the covers - they're what I base my first opinion on a book on.

  15. New follower here from the hop. I like chocolate, but my real food guilty pleasure is Lays Salt & Vinegar potato chips. I could eat a whole bag if I let myself.

    Hope you'll come visit me at http://redhotbooks.blogspot.com

  16. New follower hopping on through. :)

    I'm kinda the same way, I'm totally addicted to Farmville and then tv on dvd, so when I'm not reading I'm probably doing one of those two or a combination of both. lol.

    And I'm totally highly allergic to chocolate and anything peanuts, so I couldn't have that. But, I stand by my coffee!

    Maybe check out mine, if you get a chance.
