The Musings of a Book Junkie: Spoilers or no?

Spoilers or no?

I was thinking about book blogging today. I realized that when I review a book, I summarize the WHOLE thing, leaving spoilers in there and all. Maybe this isn't a good thing. Why read the book if I tell you what's going on? So, my few faithful readers, tell me. Summary with Spoilers and all or leave the natural book mysteries intact?

Tell me in the comments, PLEASE!

For me personally, I prefer the short and sweet reviews. I don't like to rehash the summary and tend to just put the synopsis for the book and then a few paragraphs on my thoughts, the character development, plot, etc. I like my readers to go into a book as fresh as possible!

That's what I am wondering.... I think I may have to change my style. I know I personally hate reading a book I've already got spoilers on....

I am:

A Book Junkie. My love affair with books started when my parents bought me Gentle Annie, a True Story of a Civil War Nurse. I read it. And read it. And read it. When my mom took it away from me, it had been eaten by a dog, ripped and the binding was non existent.

A Purist. I love the idea of e-books, but nothing can compare with the feel of the pages beneath your fingers. I fear that one day, the next generation will never have the chance to crack open a new book and smell the new book smell.

In love. Like Thomas Jefferson, books are a necessity in my life. I love new books, old books, any books. In the words of our famous president, " I cannot live without books." Touche, Mr. President, Touche.
