Books That I Judged By Their Cover

I can't believe I can actually write an entire blog post about books that I judged by their covers. I know it's bad, but I judge books by their covers ALL the time. If a book has a horrific cover but an amazing summary, the chance is about 80% I won't buy it.
As some of you might know: I take a lot of pictures for my book Tumblr b00kishfantasy and I want to have pretty books in my pictures.

Question Of The Day:
Have you ever judged a book by it's cover? If so, which one?

Passenger - Alexandra Bracken
I definitely got this book because of it's incredible cover and I cannot stop taking pictures of it. I didn't know much about this book, only that it had time travel and some kind of treasure hunt, which was good enough for me. I have to be honest: I did not like this book AT ALL. I know I'll get the second book in the duology anyway because the cover is also stunning and I have problems.

Shatter Me - Tahereh Mafi
This was a cover buy that actually turned out very well for me. I got this book because I thought the cover was stunning, I mean look at it, I've taken like 100 pictures of these books. I knew the story was about a girl who could kill people by touching them, but that was literally it. I ended up LOVING this trilogy and they are such fast reads too.


The Kiss Of Deception - Mary E Pearson
I haven't actually read this book yet but I got the paperback on sale a while back. I don't know why I haven't read this yet. I think I'm going to wait for the final book to come out, which I believe is later this year. I am actually considering selling my paperback and getting the hardcover, because the wait for these books to come out in paperback is forever.

Soundless - Richelle Mead
Another cover buy I haven't actually read. I love this cover so much, I think it's beautiful. The concept of being set in some fantasy-ish China sounded great to me, but when I started reading it the first 30 pages were so boring to me that I didn't feel like continuing, also because I was in a reading slump from The Mortal Instruments series and this wasn't the right book to read at that point. Now I'm not even sure I'll ever pick it up again.

Cinder + Scarlet - Marissa Meyer
This is probably one of the worst cases of cover buys, because I already own the first two books in the series and may buy all the other ones soon too. I haven't even read the first book yet. Do you see my problem? I do think I will really like this series, because all the reviewers I trust a lot loved this.
