Wait, don't tell me.

Tomorrow, I'll write up another Friday Book Blog and tell you a tiny bit about the book I recommend. I've always tried to be careful about "giving away" too much of the plot because I don't want to spoil any books for those of you who might actually take up a suggested novel or two.
Now I see that I was unnecessarily vague. According to researchers from the University of California, San Diego, "spoilers" actually enhance appreciation for a story. This even applies to tales with ironic-twists, mysteries and suspenseful thrillers.

So the next time someone is about to tell you how the story ends, let 'em.
