Feature & Follow # 1







Q: Have you ever looked at book's cover and thought, This is going to horrible? But, was instead pleasantly surprised? Show us the cover and tell us about the book.

 

 When I saw the cover of this book, I wasn't really interested in the book. The flower looks, well quite boring. I thought I'd be reading a book that reflects the cover, but I was honestly surprised by the content in the book. It was a very cute read.
I guess the saying "Do not judge a book by a cover," is in fact correct in certain cases.

 

Do you have any such book ? Be sure to let me know in the comments section.
If you follow me, do let me know and I will follow you back :) :)

Have a great weekend :D

    Indeed the cover looks kind of boring :P :) But I am glad you liked the story! I remember when I wanted to read Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake and thank god I didn't check the cover before, because if I would, I wouldn't have probably read the book :P But the story was amazing!! :)

    Thank you for visiting my blog! I'm a new follower. :)

    I have to totally agree with you about this cover. It's not even that it's bad - just blah. I'd probably walk right past it and not even look twice.

    That is definitely a very boring cover. It's such a shame when good books get judged by their covers, especially since the author often doesn't get much say in picking one.

    I'm definately a fan of this cover, the synopsis sounds great and it annoys me when such great books have really crappy covers, new follower, here's mine

    Aww, clearly I'm in the minority here! I actually quite like this cover -- it's pretty and I really like the fonts used. It does seem like maybe more of an adult book than YA but whatever (actually for all I know, it IS adult). Glad you liked the book itself! :)
