I recently started noticing the same quote appearing on different books by the same author and this unfortunately really takes away from the credibility as it makes you wonder what other quotes are in actual fact referring to an old title and not the book in your hands... This is probably mainly due to lack of space on a front cover as they cannot clarify it's a quote for Zarinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17601286894453607084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2301738213260809887.post-67168011685097786042013-08-21T22:10:28.790+01:002013-08-21T22:10:28.790+01:00I'm not a fan of the quotes, what I'm not ...I'm not a fan of the quotes, what I'm not keen on is that some books have an author quote on which isn't for THAT book, but for a previous novel of theirs, and so it says that "the book was gripping", it's not actually that particular book they're talking about and it makes me uncertain on what quotes are true for the book. <br /><br />I like author quotes that are Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2301738213260809887.post-35045053987028000812013-08-21T11:21:28.049+01:002013-08-21T11:21:28.049+01:00While I don't think the use of cover quotes is...While I don't think the use of cover quotes is very effective, it is good to hear that occasionally you have bought purchased partly based on the cover quotes. Do you remember who the authors were that persuaded you and what they said? And did they end up being right in their recommendation or were the books not for you after all?

It is usually the cover itself and the blurb that make me pick up a book or not, and usually I don't even notice the author cover quotes until I actually start reading the book at home! I do remember a few books about which I wasn't sure whether to get it or not, and then noticing a quote by one of my own favourite authors Jodyhttp://spoonfulofhappyendings.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
