Cover Buys!

[@AutumnOceanSky]

I've come across a couple of good articles about the importance of a good book cover, and one thing that stuck out to me was when I read that a cover is not only a billboard for a book, but also the first page of the story. I completely agree with that sentiment.

[@usaimeenyoosuff4217]

Hailey - Books with ugly book covers often take me some time to read. Also Hailey - *picks up so many beautiful books with stunning covers* I havent read this yet but i hope to read it soon. LOL

[@ΚωνσταντιναΞανθοπουλου-ξ5λ]

I've became so addicted to your videos that not only have I turned the notifications but also every time a new video's been uploaded I just stop whatever I am doing at time to watch it immediately!!! I love your videos and also admire all the effort that put to make your videos!!! With lots and lots of love, your biggest fan from Greece 🇬🇷💖📚

[@Livingabook]

Covers are the first thing we see from a book, covers are important and some are beautiful

[@bbsqueenx3831]

I totally agree with you when you mentioned how you judge a book by it's cover based on how beautiful the colour is

[@saara2091]

True

[@melissadennison2508]

Arta Pretenixx jjjjy

[@Jesse.Walkinshaw]

I was surprised Caraval wasn't on this list ;P

[@jkmacrunnel]

You are so right on Entwined, it is completely underrated! Love it (and the cover)!!

[@maddyloveridge]

circe is one of my favorite book covers :)

[@rust44]

VC Andrews books, especially the first editions with the keyhole covers are so pretty.

[@JazzyFizzleBaby27]

Claudia Grays books are phenomenal! I loved them so much. I'm such a sucker for covers.

[@camilleluscombe4159]

A Thousand Pieces of You is such a good series and deals with an amazing amount of moral dilemmas.

[@leshyaappavu3918]

congratulations HAILEY on hitting 100,000 subs!! I also love your recommended reads video. can you do a classic read recommendation please?

[@hanni8458]

Leshya Appavu It's 100K, but the 1 million will come soon

[@leshyaappavu3918]

Hanni oh, right. meant that only, got a little excited.

[@XxmaddyXx4EVA]

Magonia was a cover buy for me. It was an added bonus that I loved the book! 👌🏻

[@tattooedkittykat]

Current favorite cover for 2017 is The Beast Is an Animal

[@sabrinamitchell1852]

I'm so glad you mentioned Entwined. It was the first one to pop into my mind when I read the title of your video.

[@LisaandThings]

I impulse cover buy all the time! Also, All The Light We Cannot See was great :)

[@meganrowe9306]

I'm the same way with shiny covers or just beautiful covers. When I go to the library I'm far more likely to pick up a pretty book

[@vasiliatr.2138]

I read the firebird trilogy (a thousand pieces of you) and i could tell that i loved it! I also began the series because the covers is sooo beautiful!

[@AnJdeMusique]

I agree with you that Entwined is sooo underrated!! It's one of my favorite books! And, same, I didn't like Cruel Beauty. I talked about it in a recent video of mine

[@abookishaphrodite5644]

Entwined is both my fave cover and book! So happy to hear about it on a BookTube that's not mine, lol. It is such an underrated read.

[@tainahrodrigues4506]

Cover buys, I do that all the time as well! I had never heard of Entwined, just added that to my wish list

[@iarinagotu2975]

OMG!!!! YOU HIT 100,000!!! YOU ARE AN AMAZING KZbinR AND YOU DESERVE MUCH MORE!!! ALSO, YOU INSPIRE TO READ MORE!!

[@christakaup9688]

I loved the cover for all the light we cannot see!!! I haven't read it yet but I had to buy it from the cover 😍

[@harleen1171]

The wrath and the dawn...had a very pretty cover. ....just so pretty...!!!!!!👌👌💗💗👌👌

[@joanagrant1241]

I love bookshelves sorted in the color of the rainbow but i just can't stand sepreating series AAAAHH It's such a struggle >.

[@Minaru16]

Joyce same here :D

[@MysteriesofWriting]

Wow! I'm with you there especially about the cover for These Broken Stars. That book cover just makes me want to go out and buy it. I know they say don't judge a book by it's cover and as a writer I really shouldn't, but as a reader I say this is why book covers matter, everyone lol! Awesome video thanks for that. :D

[@gpreethi6214]

you are my favorite booktuber ever 💕😊

[@hallelewis8188]

P r e e t h i. Sameee

[@Karla-ys9qz]

Ever the Hunted has such an amazing cover!! ❤

[@marythebookworm4425]

I just bought an older book that I hadn't heard of before because the cover caught my eye. It was actually in the wrong section of the store. The Program by Suzanne Young. The two characters in yellow in a clean white room. It just popped out at me so I picked it up and read the synopsis and decided to buy it. I don't ever buy a book without reading the synopsis first but the cover is what made me pick it up so maybe not exactly a cover buy but this video made me think of that book.

[@SailorJaszie]

I loved the Beauty and the Beast remakeish. It was a good book. I couldn't put it down. Vengeance Road is def a book on my TBR list. I read the synopsis and was like "yes gotta read it"

[@Kitkatscanread]

one of my favourites is incarnate by Jodi meadows

[@watchdafanny]

I like the covers for the Throne of Glass series too! Especially the Queen of Shadows cover.

[@Schokocroquantherz]

I looooved nights owls!

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Honestly these are all GORGEOUS

[@turtles8081]

You just hit 100000 subscribers!!!!!!you deserve so much more babe

[@lovetobeunique]

Another book I would recommend is My Super Sweet Sixteenth Century which is about a girl with a famous parent and she travels to Italy on Summer Vacation and gets sent back in time to the time of Romeo and Juliet. This is a three book set I read the first two & loved them!!! Hoping to get the third soon 😀

[@lovetobeunique]

These Broken Stars is one of my top 5 books I've read in my life. It is so good I recommend you read it cause I believe you will like it. I really felt it was more adventurous than sci fi. I didn't think I would like it, but I loved it. I do the same thing I look at the cover if it looks good than I will read the summary. Usually I like the book with the cover, if the summary doesn't sound good I won't read it. I am a Librarian so I help pick out the YA books. Plus she is also part of the book Hunted which is the beauty and the beast retelling I am sooo excited to read that as well!!

[@thejourneytonarnia6511]

I really like the covers of Passenger and The Red Queen series.

[@evi948]

100.000 subscribers,yay!!!! You deserve sooo many more!❤❤

[@Minaru16]

Three dark crowns is published in german next month and i already got a copy and i love the german cover so much♡

[@Elselle]

I bought Vengeance Road because I saw it in one of your videos and thought it was just so beautiful :D I already read it and really enjoyed it :)

[@TheTrinketWitch]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who buys books based off the cover.

[@Samminthebox]

Can you do a video on how/where you buy your books for good prices? 😀

[@booklover5191]

You are one of my favorite booktubers! I love your videos.

[@veronica.theswamphag]

I am so similar to you in that way, I almost always buy books because of the cover to a certain extent!

[@yrynoy]

Rebel of the Sands for me - so shiny!

[@leafselvi5473]

I want to start reading and spend some introvert time.. (something about energy reserving stuff I'm opting for lately) I wonder of you have a list of online stores that you purchase your books from.. since I'm a visual person and love colours, I'm hoping to go checkout some good collections.

[@littleloezie]

Vengeance road is a really good book, you should read it!

[@readingbliss2954]

Loved this content; can you make a part 2?!

[@HardbackHaven]

I bought A Thousand Pieces of You because of the cover & the synopsis sounded right up my alley - I love the idea of parallel universes. But the romance killed it for me - c'mon YA - there doesn't always have to be a love interest. Let the action tell the story!

[@fancygal444]

Kelsey Lee ya I know it was a bit much

[@angelicalopez3762]

I wanted it to become my new fav trilogy so bad, but the unnecessary love triangle kept it from it... Still, I gave it 4/5 and loved the covers!!!

[@fancygal444]

Angelica Lopez I am on the third book less than halfway through and I can't bring myself to finish it. The first book was really good and the second was also pretty good but the third one just got annoying

[@angelicalopez3762]

fancy gal Don't tell me that! I'm gonna cry if I don't love them in the end!!! I haven't started the second one exactly because of that. I'm so scared of my future feelings towards the trilogy. I'll try to start it tomorrow 😬😬😬😬

[@ev6564]

@@angelicalopez3762Two years late. I love romance and want books to have a love interest but TWO or more love interests is a no. Gosh, I can't stand love triangles🙄

[@AelinGalathynius96]

The thousandth floor WOOOOW!!!!

[@kennedys255]

Just found your channel and I llllllloooooveee it!

[@nathandunlap419]

Your welcome. 😊

[@Kitkatscanread]

I just got lost in a book and it's so pretty!

[@Drifting_Andromeda]

Thanks for getting me out of my reading slum! You are on my top ten favorite youruber list!

[@cary01usjason]

pretty shiny covers!

[@rainbowmania10]

The only times I remember buying certain books by its cover is when I specifically wanted to buy the hardback edition like the six of crows and crooked kingdom (because of the color of the pages) and illuminae (because of the extra notes at the front cover). I'm planning to buy gemina soon when i do get to save enough money again. :)

[@Sandylovemiley1]

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU. Most of the times I buy a book because of the cover, it is weird that I buy a books just by its author or synopsis, sometimes I do but I try to buy the most beautiful cover HAHAHAHA

[@fancygal444]

You have to read a thousand pieces of you it is really good and suspenseful I think you will like it. It's a mix of romance and sci-fi😊

[@se4924]

I was convinced that 'All the Light We Cannot See' was a YA novel but maybe I am wrong. Personally, my favourite covers are those with fancy cursive fonts on them :)

[@ABASAHPURPLE11]

I color code my classes too!!!

[@rocknregalia]

I have a ton of cover buys from the thrift store. I feel like if I am spending a dollar or less for just the cover, then it is okay. Entwined is one of those that I found for $1.50 at the thrift. I loved the cover and enjoyed the book. I also purchased a book earlier this year titled A Slice of Cherry , which is about African American girls who are daughters of a serial killer. The cover has gorgeous stacked tea cups with blood overflowing the top cup. I just had to know what it was about. It was a good book (3 stars I think). It was quite strange with its paranormal elements though. I know there are many many more cover buys, but those two always stand out in my mind.

[@amyrobertson6706]

I am totally a cover buyer!!! I just promised myself to not buy any more books for a little while... this is making it really hard to stick to that 😂

[@sophiemontecalvo7503]

Was anyone else yelling "THE WINTER'S TALE!!" at the part with "Exit, Pursued by a Bear"? Shakespeare fangirl here

[@Lucy-june]

Amazing video Hailey! 💕💓

[@mette5869]

When did you actually start buying and collecting books? I love your videos!

[@leafselvi5473]

OMG I thought I was the only brat who bought books for their covers.. thank god you exist

[@beamingforbooks]

Omg such an interesting video! Love your creativity hailey!!!

[@hazelm3002]

If anyone lives in the uk, the hardback of caraval is going for 5 pounds on amazon

[@torisbooksexpress2285]

I bought Caraval because of the cover

[@kawaiipotato6886]

Your KZbin channel is so inspiring!!

[@sageroberts2004]

How did you feel about The Thousandth Floor? It's on my TBR right now so I'm curious.

[@jok9808]

Sage Roberts It’s so worth a read!! All the characters are great and the romance seemed kind of iffy but the plot twists are really good.

[@fa3ryg1rl1]

updated completed coloring pages video?

[@michellepadilla2097]

Do you ever get queen of England books...?

[@Chaotic_stegosaurus]

Made you up by Francesca Zappia is my biggest cover buy. Check it out if you have not seen it. It is a watercolor masterpiece. The story is amazing as well.

[@sabineshelly]

Hello! You now have a fan from Brazil!!

[@ATaleofTomes]

I am exactly the same I am such a visual person! Watching this video is a bad idea for me, I want to buy them all now I don't that I know nothing about them hahaha!

[@abdullmu3zt148]

I always judge the book by cover and it takes me longer to read abook with ugly cover 😅

[@stacymcarwin9133]

"bought these 'broken stars'"😉

[@karenkoutsoumbaris6308]

I think most of us do that, it's so normal

[@HusnaReads]

How do you manage studying, working and making so many videos? I'm not working but I find myself struggling between reading, making videos, being active in university club and maintaining good grades. I'm a very academic person haha. I really appreciate if you can do a video about maintaining grades while still posting new videos 😘

[@MandiLynnWrites]

So guilty of always judging books my their cover and just buying the book to add the beautiful cover to my bookshelf

[@DarlingDarkness]

How is Red Queen not on the list?? Seriously!

[@dorsamoezzi]

notif squad## always looking forward to your videos (:

[@zoeydavis3516]

Where are you from in Canada? Im from Ontario and speak French. If you speak French you should really read Zone by Marcel Dubé. It's a play but it's super cool and super short. You would really like it!

[@ReadingMissFroggy]

A Thousand Pieces is great, both the cover and the story! The old covers for Across the Universe are pretty but I really disliked the story so no matter how pretty they will not be found on my shelf xD Same for Of Fire and Stars, the first half was great but after that I found it to be just meah...

[@zenya_online2409]

Sameeee!!

[@BookishRaider]

To me, I have to understand the story pretty much. It's not just about the cover in my case.

[@annafest2199]

I always try not to judge a book by it's cover. But it just never WORKS!!

[@dark1Ordeen]

haha do you remember when you wanted to unhaul Entwined and kept it just because it was beautiful? 😂😂

[@hollyeabner9057]

Have you read Of Fire and Stars? I hated it!

[@ketowithbecca7330]

I totally judge books by their covers hahah I actually just made a video talking about all the covers I DON'T like LOL!

[@madalinacuceanu5805]

PLEASEEEE READ THE ONE AND ONLY IVAN BY KATHERINE APPLEGATE BC ITS FREAKING AMAZINGGGGGGGGG

[@maggie2770]

Just today I was on the elevator with my bf at school and I was holding my current read which is a love story and has a cheesy cover and he said if someone saw the book they would judge me because it looks like such a weird book 😂😂

[@byitscover8074]

omg yes a bad cover will keep me from reading a good book

[@samiraansari5686]

Well, if I ever actually publish a book that I wrote I now know what to do to make you buy it 😂

[@olivia1910]

I get the whole don't judge a book by its cover thing. I would totally buy an awesome book even if it was in bad condition or if I didn't particularly love the cover. But at the same time, why do we need to judge people who do judge a book by its cover. It's just as shallow, and it doesn't affect you. A lot of work is put into the design of a book, from the cover to the end papers, from the colour selection to the font. As an artistic person, I value that. If the synopsis attracts me I will buy the book regardless of its cover, but I would be drawn to it a lot more if the cover was pleasing

[@Getfreeebooks]

Call me OCD but the main reason why I love your videos so much is because of your super color coordinated bookshelf behind you. It just looks super awesome! Love it.

[@ilustralilian_]

Funny that I'm struggling to start to read The Female of the Species because I think the cover is so very ugly. I think I'll read in e-book. 😂
