Not really. I can't even remember of a case when I have done that. I always read chronologically.

I accidentally glimpsed at the last three words of a book before finishing it. I spoiled and ruined it. It made the book boring since I knew the plot twist and ending. Since then, I have never looked at the end of a book without finishing.

No! I could never. I'm the kind of person who hates even the smallest spoiler. I don't want to know what's going to happen until it happens.

Sometimes. When the book I'm reading is not to my taste or when the plot is predictable, I skip to look at the ending of the story to confirm my guess.

Feels like I got caught after I read the subject haha

Yes, I once looked at the end of a book because I want to know If the character will still live until the end. Forgive me!

I hate spoilers. If I were to take a peak at the end, I doubt I would finish the book. I love the anticipation.

I do sneak a look at the end of a book, if the book has a storyline that is dragging and boring.

I like to know the end of a book when I start reading. I love trying to figure how the author is going to get from point a to point c.

Oh I definitely do😂. I don’t really have problems with spoilers, so sometimes I just take a little peek at the end to know how a situation ends or how the author handles it.

The ending of a book is a scared thing. A conclusion to all you are meant to have experienced and loved. Without this it is empty and lacking impact so I never, ever do this.

I do that time to time. Sometimes I just have to know what happens or when the story picks back up.
