Beach Reads: What Do You Think of Comparative Blurbs on Book Covers?
Hello, Fellow Book Worms and Book Dragons, I have no issue with blurbs being on book covers. Sometimes they will tell me the book was a New York Times bestseller, or if the book is well-received. I have purchased a book because a famous author has said it is a great read and that can seal the deal for me. When I choose a Summer or beach read, I love getting recommendations. I always get excited when a book is cited for being a stand-out. Sometimes I disagree, but ultimately the build-up of excitement gets me ready for a book. In the case of books that I find at thrift stores, I sometimes use blurbs to assess the audience's reaction to the book. It is like a time capsule of the book. Getting excited about a new book is always a fun way to expand your reading. Whether it's a blurb or a friend recommendation, let the excitement help you choose the next new world you enter. Let me know in the comments below what you are readi...
