"The worth of a book is to be measured by what you can carry away from it"
- James Bryce
Most of the time when I pick out a book, it isn't a winner. And I have read A LOT of books. So here are some tips for picking out ones that aren't wastes of time.
1. Read the back cover or front flap
This is the most important thing. If you only pick it because it has a pretty cover (which I have done, believe me), you will probably be disappointed. So ALWAYS read the back cover or inside flap, and make sure it is something you are interested in! Even if there seems one thing wrong with it, or it isn't exactly your style, give it a chance. But don't buy it if it's expensive and it's not your thing. You might decide you like that style better.
2. Be Flexible
You can't always know what you are going to pick. Some books might look good, some have a good cover and some are just plain bad
3. Look Inside
If you don't like poetry books, then you might want to flip through a few pages of the book to make sure you aren't wasting your money. Also to make sure the print isn't too small or hard to read.
That's all for this post!
Keep Reading!
Don't judge a book by its cover!
