Have you enjoyed reading a book despite not liking the cover?

Yes!

I will admit to being drawn to certain books because of the cover. It’s a quick visual signal the book might be a book I’d like (or not e.g. if the cover has too much black or too much bare flesh …).

I can’t recall any titles off the top of my head, but I do know I have enjoyed many books despite not liking the cover.

Even if I could remember titles or authors, I wouldn’t name them. After all, it’s possible the author didn’t like the cover either, and I wouldn’t want to embarrass them (or remind them).

What about you? Have you enjoyed reading a book despite not liking the cover?

  1. Cheryll Snow – Sea Horses. Both title and cover gave no hint that this was an excellent women’s fiction (Christian) story. I’ve suggested to the author that they change both.
