In spite of this library's ghostly warning, let's judge a book by its cover.

We know it's cliched, but summer is all about cliches and fun. So, what's the book you had to buy because the cover was so pretty/intriguing/wonderful that you figured it would look good face-forward on your bookshelf if nothing else?

For July, give us a book that we can use to strike up a conversation with cute boys on the El.
