Sometimes, publishing houses decide to put a quote from a famous writer on the cover of a new book in order to attract potential readers. These quotes are often extracted from interviews in which the author has been asked about their favorite books, their inspirations or their current reading.

From her earliest interviews to the most recent ones, J.K. Rowling has never hidden her passion for reading. She has always been open about her inspirations and at times she likes to recommend some of these books to her readers.

So far we listed four books recommended by J.K. Rowling which used one of her quotes on the cover. If you know of other ones, please let us know and we will expand this list!
