Welcome to the Book Blogger Hop!
This Week's Prompt:
Are you good at guessing plot twists?╍Submitted by Snapdragon, The Road Not Taken
My Answer:
Regrettably, I've been saddled with a peculiar gift—or perhaps it's more of a curse, depending on how you look at it. I can spot plot twists from a mile away. This wasn’t something I was born with, mind you; it’s a skill honed over countless nights spent devouring everything from spine-chilling horror to the fluffiest romances. Somewhere along my literary journey, I wandered off the beaten path and straight into a land where surprise endings became as predictable as the sunrise.
Now, while my fellow book bloggers gasp at cliffhangers and drop their popcorn during shocking revelations, I merely nod, smirking to myself like a cat that just caught the canary. I've become the literary version of a fortune teller, except instead of crystal balls, I wield a library card and an overflowing bookshelf. Each turn of the page is a familiar dance, and honestly, sometimes I miss the thrill of being utterly blindsided—if only for the sake of nostalgia.

Nice! I say I'm maybe 60/40 right on the guessing. Sometimes I can really figure it out but sometimes I get taken by surprise. And other times my totally out there guess is actually wrong and the answer is so simple, which I might have guessed at one point but thought no, that's too easy!

Oh I love the way you described this — “the literary version of a fortune teller” made me smile 😂 I’m the opposite… I want to be surprised, so I never try to guess ahead. It’s funny how our reading habits shape us over time. Even so, I can imagine missing that feeling of being completely blindsided by a twist! Here’s hoping a book sneaks up on you one of these days.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if this acquired skill of yours carries over into everyday life, and, if so, if it gives you a consolation and an understanding that others may not have. Life always shocks the heck out of me, and I've always wished I wasn't so surprised by life.
ReplyDeleteHopefully one day a book will surprise you again!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
