Booking Through Thursday

This week’s question: Do you read the inside flaps that describe a book before or while reading it?

I always read the flap and/or the back cover of a book I have not researched before deciding to make a purchase. If there is no (short) description of the story, I will make a note of the book and research it first. This rule applies to my favorite authors as well. The story, above all else, must appeal to me.

However, if I have researched the book, I no longer bother reading the flap or back cover.
