Happy ending?

Put stickers on books and marginally spoil endings with them

I have enough misery in my life: I don't like it in my fiction as well. Therefore I prefer books with happy endings, It's slow, unreliable, spoilerish, and requires a physical book to flip through the end and figure out whether it's happy before I buy a book.

On physical books this is a re-sealable sticker covering the information. On a website it's a place you can click. (and then click "yes I'm sure") The information hidden is a simple "happy ending", "unhappy ending", or "it's complicated". Or maybe a number between 0 and 10 where 10 is the happiest.
