Do you further read a book if it accidentally gets spolied? Or do you get a book if it's spoiled for you?

[beej]

I hate that tbh. But I still gotta read :/

[❃A.J❃]

Almost every book I've read I have been spoiled, either accidentally or purposely. But I still keep reading. Whenever I want to read a book very much but can't buy it then I read the entire plot summary on Wikipedia and spoil myself. Just so I can get to know the story. :/

It is virtually impossible for me to get spoiled unless I want to, and I do not want to. In choosing a book, I look at the rating and number of readers that rated the book, then I scan the reviews for a telling negative review that makes sense. Then it is up to me to choose or reject getting said book. I am not on booktok, only on the booktok group on GR. There is a massive difference between them ;)

I don’t mind if it gets spoiled, I’ll still read it. Sometimes I have to look for certain spoilers in order to read the book, so ya.

[Larissa]

for me it depends.

if I'm reading a thriller or something with a huge plot twist bound to happen at the end of the book and it gets spoiled, then I wouldn't buy the book.

but if I find out something like who the main character ends up with in a fantasy novel or something I don't really mind

[Karsyn]

I will spoil books for myself (only myself!) on purpose because of three main reasons:
1. I'm bored and I need to skim the dialogue ahead to find out if it's gonna get exciting, then I get to the exciting part and go back to where I stopped.
2. I'm anxious and I need to know it will resolve the way I think/hope
3. I'm too exciting and, again, need to know it will resolve the way I think/hope.

If there's too much info/internal monologuing between dialogue, I will also skip ahead. But I always go back and *actually* read it in case I missed info or my brain didn't fill in the correct info. I also am quick to forget spoilers. My friend spoiled ACOTAR for me in regards to Tamlin and I completely forgot until after I finished. However, all of that is my own experience with spoilers, I don't spoil for others, or I do my very best not to. I accidentally did spoil something once for a friend in HS and she never lets me forget (in a funny, joking manner) 😂

[Summer]

I will be super annoyed but I will keep reading unless I'm not far into the book or it's a thriller with a big plot twist like @Larissa then I probs will leave it until I forget abt it and retry or give up on reading it ever again

[Rayne]

i don't really mind spoilers all that much, but it depends on the books itself and how big the spoiler is. there's more than one or two books where i think i'd have left it on the shelf if it was spoiled already, because it wouldn't have had the same effect on me. however, with most books spoilers kind of just make me more excited, because i see things in context i wouldn't have had, and i think that's funny.

[Tayjah]

It depends on how big of a spoiler. Sometimes I spoil myself on purpose while reading. I don’t know why I do that. But if it’s a minor spoiler yeah I’ll still read it. If it’s a huge spoiler, I’ll probably still read but just look at clues and signs that lead to the spoiler.

[Annalise :))]

It really depends on how big the spoiler is. Majority of the time I don't really mind, as I'm planning to finish reading the book anyways.

[Sonia]

I personally spoil books for myself. For example I never thought I would read ACOTAR (big book fear) but I absolutely loooove the fanart I've come across and watched on tiktok, that I decided to read the series.

[shania]

i don't really mind spoilers. i'll still read the book.

[Ville (Taylors Version)]

Reeeead

[Sheno]

Depends on how badly it was spoiled ◡̈ 🥲

[Olivia]

I just did that I went on pinterst and looked up fanart for shatter me series and someone asked what happened and I accidently read it not thinking they would actually out a spoiler for the ignite me book and now I'm debating if I keep going im not even on ignite me I'm just starting unravel me so ugg idk

[a🧚‍♀️]

I’d spoil the book for myself because I’m inpatient

[Lynn]

I re-read books all the time, so even though I usually wait until I forget most of it, it’s still usually kind of spoiled for me. That doesn’t mean that I don’t enjoy good writing and the thrill of reading the best parts over again.

[Layla]

I remember when Fifty shades came, EVERYBODY was reading it. My work colleague was reading it and I asked her what's about and she said "this over controlling guy who tells the girl what to do" and I thought "nah, I'm not going to read that."
I read it 5 years later because I was that bored, I could read anything.
I understood the hype. I know the smut sold that book. It was porn on paper, and sex sells.
I found the story extremely unlikely to happen in real life, but I guess for who loved it, it is like "Pretty Woman". Highly unlikely to happen like that in real life, but wouldn't it be nice.
Later, I found this obsession with female mc changing over controlling male mc's pretty boring. Everyone was writing that and it became tedious to read.
So, yes... it did spoil it initially...
