I keep eyeing this challenge every month, but I can't say that I have *ever chosen to read a book simply based on the cover. The cover may catch my eye enough to make me read the blurb, but if the blurb doesn't sound good, I won't read the book no matter how appealing the cover is.

Am I interpreting this challenge correctly? Or should I just continue to skip it each month?

I take it to mean an eye catching cover. I agree if the book sounds boring I won't read it but often a cover makes me go wow that is a great cover or whatever.

Thanks, Genevieve, that makes sense. I'll have to see what eye-catching covers I have on hand :)
