I usually read the back of the book which tells a little about the story and then get the book 😳

I try to read everything from my favorite authors so it ha to be authors. Then the story has to be good or then I won't read it. I don't really care how the cover is.

i do agree with Fariha too.. i also read backcover of the book where there is a little synopsis about the book but then it is the author esp if i read something of his/her already and liked it then i want to read more of it... and last but not least i depend on my friend's suggestions too

First of all i read the backcover of the book.. Dat matters a lot.. Then if the book is by my favourite authors like Keiran Scott, Meg Cabot or JK Rowling, den i just pick it up..I hardly ever go for covers.. Covers can catch my attention however they cant make me read a book!

@HennA: When im buying a love story, even i go for the end! 😆 I only buy it if it satisfies me! 😆

actually the cover always attracts me first. 😆 i like reading books written by east indian authors so that is what i mostly read. and like everyone else i also read the back of the book to see if it interests me.
