Starting a book without knowing what it's about?

[Linda S 1]

I do this. I love the feeling of starting a reading journey with no expectations. It feels like a fresh start.

[Tommy Mayengbam]

If my memory serves me right, I have never delved deep into a book without having any idea what it's about.

Whether it's a book from an author I've never heard about or a part of a well-known series, I need to read at least the blurb before diving deep.

[Tomy Chandrafrost]

Often when reading books on this website, I don't really know what's inside the book other than what I read in the description. I enjoy the unexpected surprises from these readings.

I do this all the time and I must say you are correct, it is us who read series . I prefer just going straight to the book without knowing the author or anything but I am very consistent with my favorite genre which is thriller, mystery and crime. I always expect the author to do the hard work ...keep me reading.

[Koffie Solomon]

I never start a book without knowing what it is about. It would be uncomfortable for me knowing I'm going to read a book I know nothing about.

I'll always at least read the blurb description on the book. I like to have a vague idea going in. But I don't look up reviews beforehand or content warnings or anything like that, I only ever know the information that's on that official description (unless someone recommends it to me and goes into more detail).

[London Baum]

Yes but only for my must read authors like you! I’ll just dive right in because I know it’s going to be great for me no matter what.

I’ve forgotten to read the blurb before and I actually enjoyed the book more. The blurbs often give too much information away. There’s something exciting about starting a book and having no idea what journey you’re about to embark on.
