Follow Friday!
Hello! This is the second time I do a Follow Friday. Follow Friday is a fun weekly meme hosted at Parajunkee & Alison Can Read. So question of the week is:
Have you ever looked at book's cover and thought, This is going
to horrible? But, was instead pleasantly surprised? Show us the cover
and tell us about the book.
The Perks of Being Wallflower's cover (left one) doesn't exactly draw me in. I'm not a big fan of the color used in the cover. Plus, I know that the legs on the top right corner is supposed to be the representation of wallflower, but it kind of creeps me a bit actually. I picked this book because my friends highly recommend this and I like the title. I prefer the cover on the right side. I love the handwriting and the pink, white, and black color. I get around my cover prejudice and really like the book anyway. Can't wait to watch the movie! Logan Lerman and Emma Watson! My dream comes true. :)
Don't forget to leave your FF link so I can return the favor! Happy weekend! :)
Wow, that cover on the right is horrible! I wouldn't even be able to pick up a book with a cover that bad haha! The one on the left is much, much better! I like how it looks like a torn piece of notebook paper, and also how the paper clip is holding on the photo strip.
ReplyDeleteLOL, I agree, Amanda! The photo strip is really cute I think! The notebook cover is so much better, glad that they release the new cover! :)
DeleteBeautiful blog! Thanks for stopping by and following! I've RTF-ed!
ReplyDeleteWoah. that is one block-of-a-colour cover! O_O Agreed on the colour, I don't like it either! :( It's great how your picks are actually quite similar in design style, yet the one on the right is much more effective! <3
Vivian @ Vivaciously, Vivian
Thank you, Vivian! Thanks for following, you rock! <3
DeleteThanks, I much prefer the second cover! I like green color, but I'm not even really sure what color it is on the first cover LOL! Well, not my favorite color. :D
I actually LOVED the original cover for The Perks! It was so different when it released and so fun.
ReplyDeleteOh, I guess the original cover is just not my taste. Glad that you like it though, Amanda! :)
DeleteI agree with you completely, I definitely don't like the first cover! It's... much too simple. I like simple covers and all, but I think this one is a little too simple. I haven't heard of this book before, but I'm thinking I'll add it to my TBR! I like the title. =)

It's awesome that you also think so, Aneeqah! The first cover really doesn't do this book a justice. I'm glad that you're going to pick this book, can't wait to hear your thought on it! Yay, the title is what makes me intrigued to read the book too, beside the praises! <3
DeleteWow, yeah, the one on the left - all that green - it would totally turn me off. I try to get over judging covers too, but it doesn't always work. :/
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend! Thanks for following, I'm following back!
I agree, Amber! It's really hard not to judge a book by its cover, especially when the first thing I see in a book is the cover. :D
DeleteHave a lovely weekend! Thanks for following, you're amazing! <3
I'm so used to the Perks cover that I don't really think anything of it right now! I like how sparse it is actually but I can see how it's creepy. I like the text in the other too! I'm a fan of Logan Lerman and Emma Watson so I'm excited for the film. :D
ReplyDeleteYay, I'm so excited to watch the movie too, Elena! I mean, Logan! I thought he's too cute to be Charlie, but I'll be gladly watch any film starring him! Oh, and Emma Watson is super-amazing! <3
DeleteI have to agree with you here! I haven't read Perks yet but I definitely will soon :) Thanks for stopping by my FF :) You have a gorgeous blog!
ReplyDelete- Jenni
I hope you'll like the book too, Jenni! Can't wait to hear your thought on it! :) Thank you so much, I like your blog design too! <3
DeleteI agree, I'm not the biggest fan of those covers either.

NEW Follower :D
Yes, I'm kind of surprised that the story is good LOL! :D
DeleteThanks for visiting and following back, Jessica! You're awesome! <3
I haven't read Perks, although I've heard wonderful things about it. Neither cover is appealing to me :(
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, I'm a new follower!
That's too bad, Liza! It is really hard not judge a book by by its cover! :D
DeleteThanks you, you're amazing! :)
Both cover look pretty hideous to me. :P I wish I could say I don't judge books by their covers, but everyone knows how much of a cover lover I am and it's always the pretty ones that draw my attention first. ;) Still, it's always a lovely surprise when a book manages to change your expectations! :)
ReplyDeleteHaha thanks for your honesty, Sam! I agree that pretty cover is what draw my attention first. Then I look at the blurb. :D It always makes me happy to read awesome books, however hideous the cover is LOL! :D
DeleteLOL so true, Hilda! x) The first time I saw that cover when I heard about this book, I thought it was so plain and not-pretty-looking! I mean, it's practically just pure green with words in the corners and feet! I feel bad when I say that the only time I gave this book a second look was first because I heard about the movie with Logan Lerman and Emma Watson and Nina Dobrev -- which I love too! ;) But I've heard some really amazing things about it so I'm glad you loved it too! :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome answer, Hilda! I'm definitely planning on reading the book before I watch the movie! :) <3
I know, Mimi! Kind of creepy looking right? LOL! :D I so can't wait to watch the movie, I'm glad that you also can't wait to watch it! I hope you love this book, Mimi, I'm so eager to hear your thought on this book! Thanks! x)
DeleteThose are really... interesting covers. (My word for when I don't have anything to say.) It sounds like it's an interesting book, but the first title...ooh. That one really is weird. The second one's a lot better to me. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for following me, I'm following back!
LOL, I also you the word interesting when I don't know what to say, Eileen! I'm glad that you agree with me! :)
DeleteThanks for following, you're amazing! <3
lol...I was TOTALLY going to pick The Perks of Being a Wallflower because I felt exactly the same way!! Thank God I didn't let that get in the way because I LOVE that book! And I am soooo excited to see the film :D
ReplyDeleteOld follower Kristin @ GrowingUpya.blogspot.com
