My answer: Oh, heck yeah! LoL I'm a shameless cover hussy and unless I am already familiar with the author, received the book for review, or one of my book friends recommended it then my SOP is walking down the romance isle and picking up which ever book catches my eye. And by catching my eye I mean which book has a cover so hot that I blush when I have to go to the underage male clerk to check-out. And if the book is part of a series, I will scan it on GoodReads and search for others in it. Luckily, I've only had one dud out of a whole lot of books purchased by the cover candy method! LoL These are a few of my latest purchases based on the cover's......
And this purchase was based on the fact that the cover dude resembles Cole from Charmed. You don't know how many years I have been asking for that DVD set!
And we can't forget my best ever cover hussy purchase.....
So, what about you? Have you ever purchased a book based on the cover alone? Link up below and share your thoughts!
Question of the Week: Do you, or have you ever, purchased a book solely based on it's cover alone?

I love Charmed! I bought a couple seasons and my mom bought some others so we have a complete set between the 2 of us. I did however confiscate them for a marathon and never gave them back! Lol!
ReplyDeleteOh yah! I am first and foremost influenced by the cover to purchase a new book/author. That's how I found Melissa Mayhue, Karen Ranney and Thea Harrison just to name a few. Once I find a book/author I like they are on auto buy but a book cover will catch my interest and then I have to add a new author to my growing list :-) glittergirl54 at ymail dot com
ReplyDeleteGirl, we always have at least one that's the same! Great pics!
ReplyDeleteI can honestly say that I have never bought a book based on cover alone.
ReplyDeleteLove Lora...she always brings a good read to the table!
ReplyDeleteI also haven't bought a book based on the cover!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
We hussies have to stick together, lol.
ReplyDeleteJaci Burton is the Queen of cover lust lately--she has had MANY lovlies to stare at in her Play-by-Play series....sigh, Jed Hill.
BTW--was Catherine Mann's book good? I haven't read her yet--but Lora Leigh's Elite Ops? GAH---my fave is WildCard....highly suggest that if you haven't gotten to it yet.

ReplyDeleteOh I know, Jaci has the best covers, those are books I HAVE to have print versions for!
And I haven't read this one from Catherine Mann yet but I've read Cover Me (another one I purchased because of the cover) and Hot Zone and loved them both.
The only one of Lora's books that I've read so far has been Black Jack and I really liked it, I've heard great things about Wild Card so I will have to pick that one up too!
Some very yummy book covers there, great choices.
