Judging books by their covers may not be the best practice, but it’s rarely steered me wrong. Though I’m not gonna lie, I’ve found some AMAZING books with some bad covers. My favorite book series of all time has TERRIBLE covers 😭 #booktok #bookrecs #bookcovers #barnesandnoble #bookstore

Judging books by their cover part 1 📚
While I was in the airport on my way to New York 🗽 I took a stroll in the book isle, these are my favorite ones. I have no idea what any of these books are about and I didn’t read the back of any of them. I only went based off the picture. These are the ones that seem extremely interesting

A handwritten quote on lined paper reads: "Some people will Know the Outcome of your Situation, but only you Know the river you had to cross, the tears you had to hide, the endless thoughts you had to push away. Some people Will Judge When the ending of your Situation looks so horrible in their eyes. But aren't we all striving in this life." It is signed "-Ally" and has "Lemon8 @theonly1ciana" at the bottom left.
