I don't like spoilers. I get frustrated with book descriptions that contain information in the first line that is a spoiler if you are reading an earlier book in the series. I have received spoilers like this while scrolling through series listing on Overdrive library, which doesn't have sorting by series order.
I might have read books 1, 2, and 3, looking for book 4, but on my way I scroll past the description for book 8 which says something like "Now married and expecting a baby" when the character wasn't even seriously seeing anybody in the books I've read, or "In his new life as a _____" (some major career change). I read mostly mysteries, so the relationship stuff isn't the main point of the book, but I would still rather find it out as I go along. I wish the descriptions started off with "In this eighth book in the Jane Doe series"
