Since “Inspiration” is (or should) the theme this week … what is your reading inspired by?

Most of my reading is inspired by others. I ask my friends about their favorite books and  if I like them enough I’ll cruise Amazon or Shelfari for similar titles. Some of the books I’ve found through friend recommendations:

• Outlander by Diana Gabaldon (mini review)
• Harry Potter by JK Rowling
• Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark Hunter Series (mini review)
  
• The Alchemist by Paul Coelho (my review)
• Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman
• Eragon by Christopher Paolini

But then every so often I find myself wandering around the book store with nothing in hand… its times like this what I break the golden rule of books…

I judge books by their covers. Its shameless I know, but when the randomness strikes I pick up the most interesting cover and surprisingly every book I’ve nabbed like this has been excellent! So maybe there is something to be said about book covers.

Titles I love, covers and all:

• Vamped by David Sosnowski
• A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore
• Peeps by Scott Westerfeld (my review)
