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 read the book synopsis but not author quotes it other content on the cover.
Yep, I read blurbs. I might skip it if I already researched the book, but if I’m on the fence about buying a novel, seeing a name I like and recognize for the blurb would probably sway me.
