leafs through
Flips pages idly
To leaf through something is to turn pages quickly, scanning or glancing at content rather than reading carefully.
The expression typically applies to magazines, books, or documents when you're browsing without commitment: She leafed through the catalog while waiting for her appointment.
Despite the irregular-looking form, leafs is correct here—leaf as a verb follows standard conjugation rules, unlike the noun's plural leaves.
