What do you look for when picking a book?

Some examples

The Cardturner by Louis Sachar

1. I watched the movie Holes, which is based on a book by Louis Sachar.
2. I remembered that I had previously enjoyed reading the book Holes and knew that Louis Sachar had written more books that I hadn’t read.
3. I searched my library’s online catalog to see if it had any of his books. Turns out my library has several.
4. I checked each book on Amazon to read a synopsis and see what kind of reviews it had.
5. Finally, I chose to check out The Cardturner because it had the most interesting description on Amazon.

The Essex Serpent by Sarah Perry

1. I chose this book because the cover looked cool and had some vibrant colors. I didn't bother reading the summary or checking reviews; I just hoped it would be as interesting as the cover.
2. I opened the book to a random page, read a paragraph, and thought, "This seems interesting." Little did I know that the part I read was the only exciting bit in the whole book.
3. I chose this book because I hope it was a guide to serpent hunting in Essex.
