Based on....?

When you are in the library, choosing a book, what do you base the book on?

It's cover, it's blurb, author, illustrator, it's genre, the number of pages, or other?

I usually read the back of the book. If it looks interesting, I'll buy/check it out. If not, then put it back

BLURB- NOUN
A brief publicity notice, as on a book jacket.

I dunno. Usually I'll get a book that I've read a good review on. Or if I've read something else by the author and liked it. Yeah, I usually base it on other reviews, I don't really have time to read the blurbs on alot of books...

I eventually take all into account. Especially page numbers, because actually, reading is not a favorite hobby of mine.

I usually read the back and take a look at a few pages in the book, if its an Alien/UFO Book, then i look at all the pics in the book and then decide ;)

[marmalade]

Usually the blurb and the number of pages.

[Hollow]

I judge it by how good the cover looks.
