I always browse books on goodreads, sadly the cover is what attracts me to the book first then I go read the summary and decide if I should read it or not.

Lol, I usually read the title, then the author, (if I have read any of his/her books earlier or not), then I read the small bit they write on the back cover, and then I finally decide whether I want the book or not😆 And sometimes I take recommendations.
