Are There Books I Want To Reread?
Ah Mah Gahd! Books I want to reread? Rereading? No! Just no!
Once upon a time, when I was a teenager without access to my own money to buy books, I reread my favourites. Little Women, The Chronicles of Narnia, and The Nimbin all had dog-eared pages by the time I was done.
Before I had a Kindle, I might have occasionally reread something on my bookshelf, and I definitely gave my well-loved copy of Twilight a workout. (I have to admit to skipping to the part where Edward comes back on subsequent reads. Who needs any part of that book without him front and centre, eh?)
Now? With eBooks so reasonably priced, and an unlimited supply of new reading material available online at a second’s notice, I’d no more reread a book than fly to the moon! Every time I read something awesome I’m thrilled to move onto the next!
And the next! And the next!
I’m a bad blogger this week, thumbing my nose at the topic. So how about you tell me what you like to reread? Because I know that almost everyone will say they love to revisit their favourites!
This post is part of the Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge hosted by Long and Short Reviews. You can see the list of topics here.

I get it. There are a LOT of books and not enough time to read them all. I dislike when I read a book that doesn’t tick any boxes with me and I want the time back. Lol. Good post!
Tracey
Oh me too! So many books. So little time!

Hah, I’m not a rereader either! Although, like you, when I couldn’t get to the school library, I reread my set of Little House books to the point my mom had to buy new copies.

Interesting that we had such faves as kids but now we just devour and move on. Life is too short!

Yeah, ebooks have caused me to greatly reduce how much I reread stuff, too.

How times have changed from being under the covers with a torch hoping no one would find me reading at 2am!

Re-reading books is something I do when I need a guaranteed happy place. Sometimes it’s because I’ve been stuck in a rut with reading, or have had several not great books in a row. It’s my “comfort food”. Otherwise, I agree!

I totally agree about it being comfort food. I find if I ever pick up that old copy of Twilight it is definitely to seek comfort. And I usually fall asleep super quickly! Hahaha!

Yep, I can remember under by bed covers with a flashlight reading well after my bed time those books you mentioned. Aww Twilight. The last books were better than the first ones, but enjoyed them all. Thanks for sharing. Yeah, I’m late to the party but here’s mine. https://www.tenastetler.com/lsrs-wednesdays-blog-challenge-2-12-20-books-i-reread-or-want-to-reread/

Nothing wrong with being late to a party!! I wonder if future generations will have those flashlight memories.

I hear you, I really do. So many books! So many new worlds to visit! So many new characters and adventures and feels to experience! But I do adore a good re-read, even if I don’t do it anywhere near as much as I used to. As Michael, one of the other bloggers, said “For me, rereading a book is the emotional equivalent of comfort food.” Yup.

Comfort food has come up a few time4s and I think it’s an excellent comparison! Thanks for dropping by!
