Book Blogger Hop – February 23 – March 1, 2018
About the Book Blogger Hop
The Book Blogger Hop was originally created by Jennifer from Crazy-For-Books in March 2010 and ended on December 31, 2012. With Jennifer’s permission, Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer relaunched the meme on February 15, 2013.
Each week the hop will start on a Friday and end on Thursday. There will be a weekly prompt featuring a book related question. The hop’s purpose is to give bloggers a chance to follow other blogs, learn about new books, befriend other bloggers, and receive new followers to your own blog.
This week’s question:
Do you read hardcovers with the dust jacket on or off? Why or why not? (submitted by Maria @ A Night’s Dream of Books)
I usually read hardcovers with the dust jacket on. They don’t bother me or get in my way, and sometimes the flap is a good bookmark if I don’t have one handy.
What about you? Do you take the dust jacket off or leave it on?

I leave the dust jacket on when I read hardcover books!

I remove the jacket so it doesn’t get damaged, but they would be good for a bookmark.
Thanks for sharing and joining in the hop.

I’m not picky about damage, but it really is nice to use the flap as a bookmark.
Thanks for visiting EFC!!

I have seen a couple people like you who say that it doesn’t bother them! I need to figure out what kind of reading secrets you guys are holding because the sliding and the book cover sometimes drives me insane hahaha. Have a great weekend!

I never really thought about it. I don’t find it sliding all the time. I’ll have to pay attention to how I hold the book next time. =)
Have a great week!

I use the flap as a bookmark all the time.

I keep them on too, but I never thought of using them as bookmarks. Good tip!

I’m the opposite. I have to take the dust jacket off. It just seems to always wreak havoc.

Hi thanks for stopping by my BBH
I take it off… I’m too OCD with books to damage it heehee 
And you’ve already know what I do with the cover
by TheEveryFreeChanceReader
I get it!!! I seem to damage the dust jacket if I take it off.
Have a great week!

If the DJ sliding around doesn’t bother you, then go for it! Me, I can’t stand that! Lol. Besides, I don’t want any edge wear on it, especially on the bottom edge. I’m WAY picky with my books! Actually, I’m OCD with them, as Barbara says!
Thanks for commenting on my own BBH post!! Sorry for the late comment back…..

Yes, sometimes the bottom edges do get bent a bit. But it doesn’t bother me. I guess I’m just not that picky.
Have a great week!
