If I’m browsing a bookstore or alike, the cover is huge for me. I rarely look at title names, rather the cover and colours. If a cover strikes my interest, I’ll read the back and very rarely the first page. I often confirm my feelings on the book by a quick goodreads check to view the star rating and see whether any of my friends have rated the book.

I also use goodreads a lot to create a list of To-Read which includes real-life recommendations and those I come across on goodreads.
