\nThis week’s topic is ‘Books I Was Spoiled For’. Now, i havent been spoiled for many books in my wonderful reading life, but the things that i have been spoiled for have been major ones. The credit for this goes to myself and Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.<\/p>\n

\u00a01. The Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"twilight_book_cover_complete.jpg\"<\/p>\n

When i was about 11, i was very new to reading and the fictional world and hadn’t read many books. One day, my friend and i were just browsing on the computer, looking up cute teddies and some random things. We had heard of Twilight <\/em>and were very interested in the story. We hadn’t got our hands on the books or movies yet, so we just looked it up on Wikipedia. <\/em>There was a full plot summary there. So, naturally i read it. In fact, i read the plot summaries of all the books in the series. At that time, i didn’t even know what spoilers were. My Twilight experience wasn’t ruined but it would have been nice to read the books without knowing everything that was going to happen.<\/p>\n

2. The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"download.jpg\"<\/p>\n

The thing is, i watched all the Harry Potter movies before i read any of the books. I was introduced to the Wizarding World with<\/em> the movies. My brother and i were huge fans and used to watch them every time they came on the television. I was 11 when the last movie came out. By that year, i had watched all the movies and after a few months only, i came across the books and marathoned through them.
\nI don’t remember if i was surprised by the events in the later movies or not, but i was never really surprised by anything when i read the books. Don’t get me wrong, i absolutely love the books and my reading experience was not spoiled by this in the slightest. I just sometimes wonder how it would have been if i had read the books without knowing everything already.<\/p>\n

3. Mockingjay by Suzzane Collins<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"download<\/p>\n

Once again, the credit for this goes to my habit of looking up every book i read beforehand on Wikipedia.
\nWhen i read The Hunger Games<\/em>, i wasn’t aware that it was a series. I looked it up on Wikipedia and came across Mockingjay<\/em>. I was not going to read the whole plot summary but i scrolled through it anyway. One glance, and i was spoiled. I was spoiled for a very shocking thing that happens at the end of the book.
\nI still look up books on Wikipedia occasionally but now i have the sense to stay far away from the plot summary.<\/p>\n

4. Allegiant by Veronica Roth<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"download<\/p>\n

I have only read Divergent<\/em> from this trilogy. I knew many people had been spoiled for Allegiant<\/em> and i was safely away from all of it. Well, until i got spoiled. However, i loved Divergent and still plan to read the rest of the trilogy.<\/p>\n

5. Scarlett by Alexandra Ripley<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"download
\nWhen i read Gone With The Wind<\/em> by Margaret Mitchell in 2014, i was completely in love with the story. This book ends on a kind of a cliffhanger and the author has not written a sequel. However, there have been published sequels by other authors.
\nOne if them is Scarlett<\/em> by Alexandra Ripley. I couldn’t find this book anywhere at that time. I was desperate for an ending to the story. So once again, i read the whole plot summary on Wikipedia.
\nA few days later, i found this book in my school library. You can imagine my excitement and frustration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
