I was at the book store tonight and took a more-than-leisurely stroll through my favorite sections. I knew of at least one book I wanted to buy but I was hankering for something in addition and had a hard time putting my hands on just the right book to satisfy my craving. Either the back cover blurb didn't grab me or the setting wasn't right or the opening page didn't strike my fancy. I really struggled but then settled on the work of a writer I had always wanted to try but hadn't yet had the chance to read. The title was a little lackluster but the cover art was gorgeous, which is what made me look twice. The back cover blurb was interesting, but it was the book's first few pages that really sold me.
So . . . when you're looking for someone new to read, what makes you decide to pick up that author's book in your local bookstore? Inquiring minds want to know!!
