dont judge a book by its cover

or thats at least what boring people say

if you see a book with a cool cover dont just buy it straight away it might be rubbish

thats what happened to me with dragon rider, dragon fire, troll fell and the rules of magic so learn from my mistakes :o and dont read the books i mentioned up there.

Well Claire,

I always read the blurb and first chapter of a book before I buy it but its the cover I first see and that's what makes me go over and read the blurb.

I think that good books always have good, vibrant, eye catching colours and I would be personally be offended if my first novel ended up with a childish cover!

Oh, gotta go, relatives just arrived.

i never buy a book simply because of its cover i do read the blurb and the first few pages as well. The only time i cna think of when i dont pick a book to look at becuase of its cover is if it has been recommended to me.
