When I first saw Twilight, I actually thought it was a retelling of Snow White. I mean...an apple, right? You can't really blame me sweatdrop
I knew New Moon was the sequel to Twilight, but only because they were side-by-side in Chapters, and they had such similar cover art.
New Moon's tulip cover attracted me first. Then I noticed Twilight, and realized it was book one. I didn't know the book was about vampires, or that I'd become crazily obsessed with it. That's why I borrowed Twilight from the library first, before buying New Moon and then the Twilight paperback.
Even when I read the inside flap of the book (for some reason I didn't check the back of the book. If I saw that famous quote (which, incidentally, Stephenie says she hates now) I would have for sure known Twilight was about vampires) I had the impression it was about something else. The preface strengthened my initial conclusion. But by about the end of chapter one, I knew Twilight was something special ^^
Yeah, and then the vampire conclusion didn't come until about the same time Bella learned about it.

Like I said before, I'd seen Twilight around the whole first year it was released, but never took much interest. There were a lot of decent or pretty covers floating around bookstores, but I learned not to go crazy over a book just because its cover was gorgeous. I did look at the back, though, and it was probably the reason I didn't pay much attention. Sounded like a cliche love story. How naive of me...
I picked it up later, of course, loved it, and since it was paperback, I knew New Moon was the sequel. What I didn't know was how beautiful the cover was! I agree with Stephenie that it really is just an "all looks" cover with no symbolism, and prefer Twilight's, but you can't help liking the ruffled tulip ♥
