I will freely admit that I judge books by their covers. The cover is usually what first captures my attention when browsing Goodreads or Netgalley. Actually, in all honesty, it isn't just usually, it's pretty much all the time. The cover determines if I look at the synopsis and reviews.
A brick wall. Tree trunks and an outdoor light. Where is this inn. The name evokes Peter Pan. Who stays there? What is their story?

I'm the same way with book covers. I read a book by Anne Bogel and didn't like it but I loved the cover of her second book so much that I ended up reading it anyway. In this case, judging a book by it's cover ended up working in my favor because I really liked the book and I never would have attempted to read it if I hadn't loved the cover so much.
