The Spoiler Book Tag Nerdy Kathi 2025-03-06 | I was tagged by Lekden @arockinsamsara to do The Spoiler Booktag.This is an original tag created by Scott @GunpowderFictionPlot and revived by Jess @JessBookgirlTV The Prompts: 1. What do you consider a spoiler? 2. Does the genre you're reading impact what you consider to be a spoiler? 3. All the best bits are in the trailer; sometimes a synopsis can be too detailed. Do you research books prior to reading them or do you prefer to know nothing about the book? 4. Sometimes the introduction or translators notes can spoil the ending, especially for classics. Has this ever happened to you? 5. Name a time somebody spoiled a novel for you? 6. Have you ever spoiled a novel for somebody else? 7. If spoilers ruin novels, are there some authors or genres you can't reread? 8. When reviewing are you spoiler free? Does this limit your ability to discuss? 9. Shoutout: Tell us about 5 channels you enjoy and tag them.
