My site is http://harleybearbookblog.blogspot.com/ if you are interested. <br /><br />I think it's interesting how a book cover can really turn readers off. The If I Stay cover on the left is more inviting. I don't know if I would pick up the one on the right if I saw it on a bookshelf in a store.@MelissaJoLynn_https://www.blogger.com/profile/16771038635569116950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-39689202820484504772012-03-11T00:51:06.061-06:002012-03-11T00:51:06.061-06:00Thanks for stopping by, I'm an old follower :)...Thanks for stopping by, I'm an old follower :) I've heard that <i>If I Stay</i> is good, but I just haven't been able to get to it yet.

Some people love it, but I think it's misleading and plain weird. <br /><br />Still, I don't let a book's cover sway me too much, other than letting it convey to me which genre the book is. That allows me to weed out the type of books I have no interest in, since I don't just read everything that's out there.Cathy Keatonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18356112948372149785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-52331271393391048612012-03-09T18:00:13.017-06:002012-03-09T18:00:13.017-06:00Hi Alison!
