There are three things that will draw my attention to a previously-unknown book: recommendation, know the author, like the cover. A good cover makes me <i>want</i> to like the book.<br /><br />Matty, I think I like independent because I think that A's love a book might influence B or something. Makes sense not to care too :-)<br /><br />Glad you liked it, Bane. I'm never ashamed to be analytical (as you know).Adam Heinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02225813532455467868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4665052536053897386.post-40540134910227025952009-10-01T01:01:01.336+07:002009-10-01T01:01:01.336+07:00I love this -- it speaks to my left brain so clear...I love this -- it speaks to my left brain so clearly (and I also love that literary gets -5 :)Joshua McCunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17367262185912463258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4665052536053897386.post-23083933213522275172009-09-30T22:55:08.069+07:002009-09-30T22:55:08.069+07:00I'm similar, Adam, but the independence of the...I'm similar, Adam, but the independence of the recommenders isn't such a strong requirement for me. If A and B both really liked it, it doesn't matter to me if B heard about it from A or not.<br />-MMattyDubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04202037980573994507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4665052536053897386.post-79223915210352485292009-09-30T22:05:33.979+07:002009-09-30T22:05:33.979+07:00Hehe, I appreciate your honesty.

I'm drawing to gorgeous cover art—have to at least see what the book is about if it's shiny and pretty. <br /><br />I shop based on mood though. Lately I'm looking for "lighter" books. So if something sounds really angsty or high suspense, I'm currently avoiding those. But that may change in a few months.Natalie Whipplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09978251567306345129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4665052536053897386.post-2528375006666043032009-09-30T20:58:56.467+07:002009-09-30T20:58:56.467+07:00Nice, fairyhedgehog.
