Until her geneticist brother Tom was murdered, Tania lived an ordinary life. Now hidden in her mind is a clue that will reveal Tom's research, including secret formulas to unlock all seven powers. During spring break, Tania meets and falls in love with handsome Dan Maclean.

I think it is really important as it is what catches your eye and makes you want to look further
ReplyDeleteI hate to admit that I do judge some books by their cover. It's gotta catch my attention so that I"ll read the blurb...
ReplyDeleteMost of the time the cover of the book does catch your eye. There has been only a few books where I didn't like the cover, but loved the book. Thanks for the giveaway!

Thanks for all your comments. I hope you enjoy The Sixth Power.
ReplyDeleteA book's cover is fairly important to me. It is hard when I am reading a book and I really hate the cover, because it sort of affects my opinion of it. Or, when I scroll through lots of books, I look into the ones with the best covers. It affects me more than I would like to admit I guess....

Unless it is a title that I'm specifically looking for, a book's cover usually draws me in to look further.
ReplyDeleteA books cover isn't always important. Sometimes the cover can draw me in yet leave me disappointed. I try to base a book more on the synopsis than anything
ReplyDeleteThank you for your spotlight for The Sixth Power.
