In a recent survey, students were asked what factors most influence their choice of books to read. The top three responses were recommendations from friends, reading reviews online, and cover design. A significant number of students indicated that they often feel overwhelmed by the number of book options available and appreciate when someone they trust suggests a title. The survey also revealed that while online reviews play a crucial role, many students still prefer personal interactions and opinions over anonymous suggestions. Additionally, the survey findings showed that cover design, though less significant than the other factors, catches students' attention and sometimes influences their initial interest in a book.
