I read every word in the book and I never read the last page first…if you do then why bother reading all the rest of it.

I’d love to win this book! Looks like a great read
I do pretty much the same, minus step #5. Granted, that’s because I assume that, with romances at least, writers will follow the pattern at least to the point of an emotionally satisfying conclusion. I’ve only ever run into one romance that thoroughly flouted the happy ending, and I threw it into the wall.
It was some author - can’t remember who - that taught me the middle-read when I was very young… she said, open to a random page and start reading. If you find yourself dragged in even when you don’t know what’s going on, it’ll be a good book for you.

I follow pretty much the same steps you do, but seldom read in the middle of the book. I don’t always look at the ending, but do it often enough that it doesn’t seem at all strange to me if others do it. Doesn’t ruin the story at all for me–at least it hasn’t yet.

I really only do your number 5 two times: 1) if the book is dragging I read the end to see if I really want to read the rest and 2) if it is an older book I read the end to see if I read the book before. Other than that, I pretty much follow your steps!

I look at the cover to find out who the author is and the type of book. I always read the back cover before deciding if I want to read it or not. I like reading books in a series or trilogy.

Depending on my week has been going I decide what type of gene I’ll be reading, Then I’ll narrow down my choice by book jacket and prologue.

I read the prologue or teaser in the front and the back blurb. Sometimes I do peek at end but only after having read a good part of the book.
