leafed through
Flipped pages casually
To leaf through something is to turn pages quickly and casually, scanning rather than reading carefully: She leafed through the magazine while waiting for her appointment.
The image is of pages turning like leaves.
You might leaf through a book at a store to decide whether to buy it, or leaf through old photo albums looking for a particular picture.
