I'm actually okay-ish with reading the synopsis because I have to know if I'll be interested in reading, though I HATE when the synopsis gives too much away. The best synopses are mysterious and make you want to find out what happens.Kris @Imaginary Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550965344184687023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202274659436317634.post-49306820481694522172011-11-13T18:34:59.776-05:002011-11-13T18:34:59.776-05:00I'm inbetween.

Hearing a spoiler won't (usually) make me put down a book, though, but I find I'm nowhere near as excited to finish it. So I guess I'm mostly Team Wendy? ;)<br /><br />Since we're tossing in Christmas stories, though... My big sister and I had a different way of cheating. We'd say, "I'll tell you one thing you got if you tell me one thing I got."

I have this thing where even if I see a spoiler I won't really believe that it will happen until I see it with my own eyes. And sometimes spoilers can make you want to read a book more because you want to see the event you know is going to happen. If you think about it most romance novels are spoilers by nature. You always know that the guy and the girl will end up together in the end no matter how many obstacles come their way. But it's the journey to get there that interests the readers. So no to spoilers, but sometimes they can build the readers curiosity & excitement. ;)Ezmireldahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04217164955411191307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202274659436317634.post-79108682471378520972011-11-13T14:31:57.630-05:002011-11-13T14:31:57.630-05:00I hate having the ending spoilt, and I always cove...I hate having the ending spoilt, and I always cover up the final page with something so I can move it down and not read the final line till I get there. I've been put off reading some books because I had the ending spoilt before I even had a chance to read them.<br /><br />My mother says her mother always reads the end first, since she doesn't like reading something if she doesn't know how it'll end. That doesn't make much sense to me, since a lot of times an ending makes no sense unless you've read the entire book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202274659436317634.post-16238699203819067872011-11-12T16:41:29.732-05:002011-11-12T16:41:29.732-05:00*gasp* Wendy, you're going to toss me aside li...*gasp* Wendy, you're going to toss me aside like yesterday's garbage????

Sigh.<br /><br />For me, it depends on the mood.<br /><br />I will admit that when I read New Moon I scanned JUST until I saw Edward's name in a dialog tag, and then I was able to relax and enjoy that whole middle section of the book.<br /><br />My MIL wants to know the whole story, and always reads the end first.<br />I already find so many books and stories to be predictible, so I don't want to know anything - aside from occasionally just asking - did this one end terribly? or good?<br />JUST so I'm prepared. And there have been a few times when i was glad I knew the ending was bad, b/c I would have been pissed otherwise, lol.<br /><br />I'm SO long-winded today :DJolene Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14809468564016928636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202274659436317634.post-32679393100365850012011-11-12T16:23:15.540-05:002011-11-12T16:23:15.540-05:00Hannah, YESSSSSS!

Usually I read about 50-100 pages and then flip to the end. Sometimes I have no idea what is going on at that point, so as I further into the story, I go back again, and keep doing it until it makes sense. I am terrible and there have been times where I have forced myself not to do it, but 99% of the time, I read the end early.LisaILJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09538953729146106525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202274659436317634.post-19550485805057681172011-11-12T12:09:38.096-05:002011-11-12T12:09:38.096-05:00Haha, I can't stand spoilers.

Things I'd only be able to see if I had read the book before, and I may not necessarily want to read something twice.
