Booking Through Thursday - Dessert First

There are so many fun blogging things that I had no idea about! Yeah for new discoveries--and I have Stephanie to thank for introducing me to Booking Through Thursday on her blog.

Today's Meme:

• 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?

It usually takes a really great book for me to want to look ahead to find out what happens--and unfortunately its been a while since I've read a book of that kind of caliber (please give me some suggestions!!

But even if I am tempted, I read the book as the author wanted it to be read (afterall, they are not "Choose Your Own Adventure"!). There have been times that I have been so eager to find out the ending of the book that I've had to cover all of the page except what I am reading so my eyes won't wander around looking for clue words. I often find myself doing this with Jodi Picoult books--slowly moving my hand down the page until I can be rewarded with the answer to the conflict. For me, part of the thrill in the book is NOT knowing what is going to happen. I don't think I would want it to be any other way.

God I love those books! Any suggestions?
