Goodreads Authors/Readers discussion

Looking for some wisdom from authors and/or readers here (if any readers follow this folder): I'll soon be putting out a new edition of my SF novel Twin-Bred, with a cover combining the original art and the design from the sequel. The new paperback design includes space for a few short quotations from reviews. I have no dead-tree publications to quote, only authors and book bloggers. What are readers of paperbacks likely to think of quotations from book bloggers? (This may be mostly of academic interest, since no one will see the back cover except those who frequent a couple of local bookstores and those who've already bought or received the book, but still . . . .)

I've seen research - and I forget from where - that say cover quotes have no impact on sales. Of course, that doesn't mean I won't try to get them, too.

If I saw a cover quote from a name I didn't recognize, it would have no effect on my decision to buy or not buy the book.

not an expert, but for me, I will read quotes for content, and secondly who said them. especially if the quotes help me understand what the book will be about.
