This is the day of the week where we get to know each other better by
answering a question devised by our lovely hostesses Parajunkee &
Alisoncanread. We also gain new followers by joining each other's sites
via GFC, so please let me know if you're a new follower since I
automatically follow back. And now for this week's question....
Q. Have you ever looked at a book's cover and thought, this is going to be horrible? But was instead pleasantly surprised? Show us the cover and tell us about the book.
A. I read the Dark Sword Trilogy by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman which turned out to be a really good fantasy series. A friend gave them to me and when I looked at the covers that are from like the 70s early 80s I didn't even want to read them! But since they were from a friend and that friend kept hitting me up if I had read them I finally picked them up. The picture on my About Me page shows me with one of the books!!
What book cover do you have that was horrible but a great book?
I agree, those are pretty terrible! Old follower :)

Hi..I think I am the odd one here..but still I have to say that I don't think the covers are horrible. Its not highly approachable..but still I will read it, if you give this book to me. :)

Hopping through. Not a fan of those covers. I've met Tracy Hickman though! He came and spoke to our class in 6th grade. I went to school with his niece.
