Do you ever judge a book by it's cover?
I do. Constantly. It often gets me into trouble - mostly because I pick up books which I've forgotten that I've read. Anyway, this Virago book with its wistful cover caught my eye recently in a local charity shop and is providing some much needed escapism from the day job.

I do have a terrible tendency to judge books by their covers! Not familiar with this one, must have a look... K x
ReplyDeleteI loved the old covers they used to do for murder mysteries that showed a scene from the crime and people either dead or looking shocked...murder mystery covers are much more symbolic these days...and rather naff looking in my opinion - they don't lure you in as much...
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I don't have any letters to weep over. I wouldn't fit in the shed for all the garden chairs and power tools.
ReplyDeleteOh, I know what you mean about The Lure of the Book Cover. And I frequently buy books I've already read, even when they have the same cover. Haven't read that one, though. At least, I don't think I have.
