So I have this tendency to literally judge a book by it's cover. Por ejemplo, I'd be attracted to this cover:
 (Okay, that makes me seem perverted, but I meant that it's a rather young adult, modern cover.) Then, we have this:  I'm reading this right now, and it's amazing. I'm totally in love with it. But if I were to see it in a bookstore, I probably wouldn't even pick it up. |

yes, I've definately done that before.
 It's not a good thing, since some books can have the plainest covers, but can be totally amazing on the inside. I'm starting to try not to do that anymore, though |
