    I'm a cover buyer. But then again I also read the first and last paragraph in the book. If it makes me think, "how did we get here?!" I normally buy it. lol

    I don’t look at author blurbs, for the reason you’ve mentioned, not every author reads the book. I mostly go for cover and description. This video was fun to watch though, sort of gave me an idea if a reader thought the blurb sounded accurate.
