Guess That Book by the Cover

Whether we buy a book or not, it’s undeniable that the first impression the cover leaves on us plays a very important part in our decision to read the book or even ultimately buy it. Some of us also buy a book just because of how beautiful it looks, even if we aren’t really sure if we want to read it. The covers also manage to create expectations in us and that probably affects our enjoyment of the book too. And that’s why I’m here with this fun bookish game that was created by Charvi @ Not Just Fiction. Do checkout her blog for more amazing and fun bookish content.
