I’m interested to hear what the majority of readers have to say. Do you read blurbs (the quotes from other authors either on the front or back cover plugging the book) or do you ignore them?
Personally, I never paid attention to blurbs. But then I interned at a publishing company and blurb acquisition was such a big deal that I found myself starting to noticing blurbs more on the books I was reading. But still, most of the time, I don’t really care what other authors have to say and I just start reading.
Interested to hear your thoughts!
I’ve only ever really noticed one blurb, and that was because it was on a book by an author I didn’t recognize that I was looking at while at a library and the blurb was by Max Gladstone.
And like, Max Gladstone is a name to conjure my attention with.
Was a super good book, too.
