Spoiled Endings

Due to my massive backlog of books in my TBR pile, I have been breaking one of my cardinal rules - I have let people borrow books before I have read them. This isn't usually that big a problem as even if they disclose information about the book, I don't really mind.

Until this time.

I had lent the third book in Richelle Mead's Succubus series, SUCCUBUS DREAMS, to a friend of mine to read on the plane. When he got back, he was desperate to talk about some of the developments in the book. Since it's not usually an issue to learn about events in a book I haven't read, I let him tell me about it.

The next day, I read it. And the whole time, his words were running through my head, ruining my enjoyment of the story. He told me the ending and inadvertently included information from the preview of the next book, due out in June.

I really did like the SUCCUBUS DREAMS, as I always love Ms. Mead's books. The story was really well done and the characters, as always, were fun to read about. I do wish I hadn't found out about some of the major plot developments beforehand, and now I know to no longer allow my friends to talk about a book before I read it.
