Follow "the Leader" Friday

Today on Follow The Leader Friday though its Saturday for me , the featured blog is Lesley @ www.mykeepershelf.blogspot.com

Today's Question:

Do you judge a book by it's cover ?

Today's Answer:
I know everyone always goes, DO Not Judge a book by it's cover and we are all like , we won't or at least try not too , but we all do as its programmed to us. I for one am in the middle about judging books by its covers as unless its a author that I know or a genre I like I won't pick it up if it has an ugly cover and as you can see from my Top Ten on Tuesday, the ten worst covers that I have seen. Some covers though can be beautiful like the Black Swan Rising and it was a book that I couldnt read and get into . This is a case of judging a book by its cover.

    I agree on your thoughts about we all judge books by their covers. Its natural for us. But sometimes we end up being disappointed in the book after loving the cover and blurb. Thanks for stopping by my blog!!! Hope you are having a good weekend!

    I think we all judge a book, whether we want to or not. As long as there are words to paint a new world for me I'm happy. But indeed there will be duds. Beautiful cover or not. It just happens on an individual level.

    Please Stop by, I'm starting a new with a fresh look.  Let me know what you think.

    Hopping through. Like you, I definitely look at covers and think they're valuable, but not the most important thing.

    I think a good cover can make me more inclined to look at the blurb if it's an author I don't know but I wouldn't pass on a book just because of the cover.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she
