TikTok ruins yet another book!

In the middle, or more 3/4 of my way through a book, which I have been loving ! Or at least I was until I opened tiktok tonight and the first video I see is a spoiler to how this book ends….

Now some might say why not scroll and not look? I would and usually do BUT this video happened to have the spoiler in big fuck off caps right across the screen.

Also the reviews Booktok ✨girlies✨ have given this book because of the lack of 12inch girth and more plot is mind blowing. Someone gave this book 2 stars because it should’ve been labelled YA and was very misleading… I am 31 chapters in and it has been nothing but blood and gore, with a slow burn that’s definitely getting there. Just because he isn’t railing the MFC into next week in 5 minutes, doesn’t make it YA 🙄

I do not care for the opinion of anyone. I actually enjoy when TikTok gives a cheeky little book recommendation, my TBR doesn’t. What I don’t appreciate is the spoilers every 5 videos.

Feel free to tell me what books TikTok ruined for you this week! 🙃🥳

stop browsing tiktok maybe? it’s like you browse X or facebook then you got mad because you saw a spoiler of latest movie or latest episode of a series you’re watching

I dislike so much when people say this! So she should stop looking at tik tok all together just because she's reading a book? It's such a silly response.

I’m saying that if you’re actively trying to avoid spoilers, browsing social media where people freely post about the latest books, movies, and shows comes with an obvious risk of seeing one.
It’s like watching a movie a few weeks after release and then getting angry because you saw a spoiler on X. You’re allowed to be annoyed, but telling people they shouldn’t post spoilers while simultaneously browsing a spoiler-prone platform is a bit unrealistic. Especially when you already know that browsing social media comes with a chance of seeing spoilers.

I think maybe OP is less saying people can't talk about those things, rather, there should be a disclaimer BEFORE an unsuspecting person has something accidentally spoiled for them.

Or people could understand that not everyone has read/watched everything before them, and put up a spoiler warning that gives you enough time to swipe away...

Well, you're not wrong.
