There have been times when I couldn't read a book or series because of that; the reviews completely ruined it for me. (I'm looking at you, Divergent Trilogy). It's completely unfair when people do that :(.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16228883934162062756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020653850161663700.post-15635304501656970682015-06-21T20:47:07.659-04:002015-06-21T20:47:07.659-04:00I am not a fan of spoilers at all!

If there is a movie, tv show, or book that has something that could be "spoiled" I approach all social media as if it is a basilisk, with my eyes open just a tiny sliver, until I know all is clear. I am also not one to "give things away" easily. If it's a tv show or movie and someone wants to know what happened, I can be persuaded to tell, but if it's regarding a book... forget it. I will tell people to read the book themselves if they want to know until my dying breath. If something it spoiled for me... well I really take it on a case by case basis.

Only with paper books b/c the whole location thing on my Kindle drives me nuts, but yeah... I find it actually increases my enjoyment of the book b/c if I don't know the end, I'm reading so fast and feverishly, I miss the details. Reading the end when I'm just getting into the throes of the story helps me savor it more. People are always appalled when I admit this (especially as a writer), but it works for me. Also, to everyone reading GoT, I'm in awe. I've started the series more times than I can count and it doesn't work for me. Maybe b/c it's on my Kindle and I can't skip ahead??<br /><br />Great post, Brianna!Brenda St John Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01995664320021950254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020653850161663700.post-91656199529174563322015-06-18T10:56:44.493-04:002015-06-18T10:56:44.493-04:00As an author, I hate it when readers spoil the wri...As an author, I hate it when readers spoil the writing in reviews.

I don't like spoilers, but my obsession with finishing every book I start (with the exception of the two I just couldn't force myself complete...) trumps my annoyance. If I'm reading/watching something that is popular in my social media feeds then I just stay off them until I'm caught up - it's difficult, but priorities! I also try to read minimal reviews of a book until after I finished. I'll read just enough of the reviews to let me know if I should add it to my list. As an author, it's always hard when I see someone has posted a review with a spoiler. I'm always grateful for any review, but my heart goes out to my future readers.Carrie Beckorthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04324065022504846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020653850161663700.post-51213160867563946882015-06-18T09:21:53.357-04:002015-06-18T09:21:53.357-04:00Oh, Brianna. I totally feel you. I'm actually ...Oh, Brianna. I totally feel you. I'm actually reading A Dance With Dragons right now (or trying to), but I made the mistake of watching Game of Thrones Season 5 and now I'm just not motivated. This is a different situation, since I kind of spoiled it for myself, but still feel ya! Glad you're reading the series. I will not spoil any of it for you, but when Cersei... jk, lol!

(Mind you, this was years before all the outrage over the TV show.) And I clicked on it thinking it was something historical to Westeros. Nah. It wasn't historical.Stephen Kozeniewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15185600045044927669noreply@blogger.com
