Lesley @ My keeper shelf
Hi there, my name is Lesley from My keeper shelf, I live in Scotland in the UK.
I'm fairly new to the world of blogging although I have always checked out other blogs for what to read next suggestions. It kind of started with joining Goodreads last year to help me keep a track of all the books I had read and to find suggestions for fab new books from like minded paranormal romance and urban fantasy readers. I then progressed into joining a few groups on Goodreads to discuss my favourite authors (Karen Marie Moning, Stacia Kane, Ilona Andrews and Nalini Singh to name but a few.) and was then inspired to start my own blog focusing on the types of books I love the most- paranormal romance and urban fantasy (although I do love a good smexy cowboy book now and then!)
I love reviewing books but I am in no way a professional reviewer providing amazingly insightful critique, I like to keep it simple. I'm a reader first and foremost. I pick up a book because something about it interests me: the story, the authors previous work or the gorgeous cover. I absolutely love to drool over book covers and have realised that I often, ok I admit it always, judge a book by it's cover so I like to include new covers on my blog and well, drool.
I came up with the name my keeper shelf as that's how I categorise books. If I love a book it goes on my keeper shelf. This usually means I have folded down or bookmarked pages at the "good bits" and I will go back time and time again to reread my favourite pages. My blog is simple but fun (hopefully!) I would love it if you would come over and say hi.
Q. Do you judge a book by it's cover?
I hate to admit but yes I have to admit I do judge a book by it's cover. I have read some great books with some not so great covers and great covers but the book wasn't that great!

The cover draws me in, but the description has to sell me. It can take me a while to try out a book with a cover that I didn't like! I'm already a follower. My FF is at Coffee Table Reviews
I agree with you and Aimee. It draws me in but it isn't enough for me to buy the book.
Just hopping by and thanks for FF on Release Notes!
Nice blog! I'm following you. :)
I also judge by cover. But only by first glance, then it's all based on the storyline.
I do agree with you that there're great books with ugly covers and bad books with nice covers.
My FF can be found here!
Hi! Thanks for visiting me today. I'm a sucker for a pretty book cover, but I have to love the blurb too. Have a great weekend!
