Never Judge A Book By It's Cover.

So I visited my local Borders again yesterday. (*tear*)

And while sorting through the stacks of awesome books I came across one and the cover looked interesting. The blurb on the back made it sound like it would be the kind of book I'd love.

I assume most people are enticed by a great book cover. I know most of the time I am.

But that's not what makes me rave about a book. I'm sure that's the same for most people. It's what's on the inside that counts. I don't care who blurbed it or how many other people like it. Every body is different and that's what makes everybody unique.

So, after I bought the book, I came home and who can guess what I did next?

You're right. I looked it up on goodreads.

Then I saw that it got some pretty bad reviews. Is that going to stop me from reading it? Probably not. I never base my opinion on what someone else says. Most times, if someone suggests a book that sounds good, I'll buy it and form my own opinion after I've read it.

Everybody gets bad reviews. Everybody. Even J.K Rowling.(Even though in my opinion, she shouldn't because HP is amazing.)

Two things to think about...

Bad reviews are like a stomach ache, everybody gets them. I know sometimes it's hard when you get them. I always get a little upset at first and then shrug it off.
You can't assume everyone in the entire world is going to like your book. (Even though we wish it was like that.)

The meat is inside the book and the cover is just added decor.


Have a good weekend!

Cheers!
