Okay I feel so thoroughly annoyed right now. I am currently reading Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier for the first time, and really enjoying it. I’m at about 120 pages now, so approximately a quarter of the way through.
This morning I logged on to GoodReads out of habit, just to check out some recommendations and stuff, and there’s always a little window right on the homepage with a single recommendation based on the book you’re currently reading.
This time it was what appears to be a fanfiction based on Rebecca, titled Mrs. De Winter, and the tiny blurb immediately below (which I wish I would’ve kept my eyes away from), read something along the lines of “Rebecca is Daphne du Maurier’s most well-known novel, which left many readers wondering “what’s next?” From the fire-wrecked remains of Manderley…”.
I know it’s partly my fault for not clicking away before being able to read any of this, but it’s still so annoying to me. Just knowing the book will inevitably end with Manderley burning down is much more than I wanted to know about the plot. Ugh!
