The Book Blogger Hop- Black Friday Edition

Happy Friday!  I hope that my American readers had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends.  I hope my other readers have had a fantastic week as well.  I am so lucky, I get to spend the day today hanging out with my little monkey. 

Stop by Crazy for Books to see what the Book Blogger Hop is all about.

The question of the week is: What is your favorite book cover?

It's no secret around here that I do judge a book by its cover.  It is often a gut level reaction that causes me to either love or hate a cover.  Often the ones that I love have people featured prominently.  For example, the primary reason I wanted to read Fragile by Lisa Unger was because of the cover.  Seeing that cover led me to read the synopsis and ultimately read the book.

Although I was also intrigued by the cover of Georgia's Kitchen which doesn't feature people at all.  

My cover reaction is generally a first test as to whether or not I will read a book.  The exception to this is if someone specifically recommends a book to me.  If they think I will like something I'll pick it up even if I don't initially jump for the cover.  This is how I've discovered new authors and new genres.

How about you?  What draws you to a book?
