Dessert first:
- Do you cheat and peek ahead at the end of your books? Or do you resolutely read in sequence, as the author intended?
- And, if you don’t peek, do you ever feel tempted?
- No, I never peek ahead or read ahead. In fact, I don't even read the back-of-the-book blurb, because I don't like to read with preconceived ideas.
- Not at all. I love the feeling of expectation, of not knowing what's going to happen. If a book gets really tense, I might read faster, but I don't want anything to spoil the whole experience of the book.

I never want anything to spoil for me either or the whole experince won't be as excited for me. Hey I know about you and the book blurb LOL
I don't peek either, but I do read back blurbs. With an untried author the back blurb gives me an idea if it's the kind of story I want to read.
I'm not tempted to jump ahead or peek, but I do tend to read fast or skim to get to the height of the suspense. That's probably why when I read books a second time, I pick up stuff I missed the first. LOL!

I always peek and I always hate myself, especially for the mysteries. My god, it's dessert first ruining even the dessert.
Time to get out the hairshirt.
