DO Judge a Book by its Cover (Well, sometimes anyway)

We all know the saying right? "Don't judge a book by its cover." This is generally a good rule to live by both in and out of the book world, but there are almost always exceptions to rules. When you don't have a specific title or author in mind and you're just browsing for books, what's going to draw you in? A lot of the time it might be the cover art. Maybe a book with a really beautiful cover will suck you in and you'll end up reading something totally outside of your norm. (You might even end up loving it!) On the flipside, maybe an intriguing cover totally lets you down and you give up on page thirty. Judging a book by its cover can be a gamble like that. There are definitely tons of really great books that don't have the most attractive covers, but that doesn't mean you should explore those too. Below you will find some books that are just plain pretty or interesting to look at. It's up to you to judge those covers and read something new based on what catches your eye.
