Me too, Claudia. Me too.
I often read the end of the book to relieve my anxiety. And a few years ago, I discovered my mother does too. Sacrilege perhaps but I still do it. (And it rarely reveals much.)
Ruthiella I do this too. 😊 2d
willaful When my daughter was first diagnosed, I had to do this even with hea guaranteed romance novels. Life was such an enormous question mark. 2d
LeahBergen My anxiety works in the opposite way! I can‘t have even a teensy peek at the end 😆😆 2d

IriDas Same. Sometimes things are just too tense and you need to know to be able to go on with it. 2d
Lindy For me, it‘s not because of anxiety. I will occasionally read the ending if I am considering abandoning a book. If I feel encouraged by the ending, I will usually stick with the book to see how the author will get me there. 2d
merelybookish @Ruthiella @IriDas I feel so seen! Most people are scandalized. 😄 1d
merelybookish @willaful Yes, sometimes we need to make things easier when we can! 1d
merelybookish @LeahBergen You must avoid spoilers as well! My husband is the same. Meanwhile, I'm like, spoilers, yes please! 1d
merelybookish @Lindy Yes, I can appreciate that. Do you read a few pages? I generally find the ending doesn't tell me that much. But I typically only read the last page. 1d
willaful @Lindy I'll do that these days. I remember when I was reading Good Material I read the end and thought it was so excellent -- but still not good enough to suffer through the rest of the book for. ;-)![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

Good MaterialLindy @merelybookish Like you, I typically read the last few paragraphs or the last page. 1d
Lindy @willaful Sometimes reading the ending is enough for me. No need to go back to where I left off (usually somewhere around the middle) and read the part I skipped. 😁 1d
