It’s time for another discussion.
To Re-Read or Not To Re-Read. Theirs no in between. It’s you re-read or you don’t.
Let’s dive in.
To Re-Read.
I personal am a re-reader so I’ll try not to be biased.
Re-reading is nice because it gives you a chance to fall in love with the characters again, live in the world one more etc. It’s kind of like going to the town you grew up in…
When I get a new book I read it way to fast–
–because of that I often miss little details, so when I re-read the story make a whole lot more sense. Once my brother skipped a whole page because he was reading to fast…
To Not Re-Read
I can see why a ton of readers do not re-read.
The TBR list is HUGE! (How many books I have is probably how many books are in someone TBR list) (And for those who don’t know TBR stands for To Be Read) And if you’re a re-reader with a giant TBR list imagine how long all that reading is going to take…
So I understand why people don’t re-read.
So here is the question. What is your view on re-reading?
P.S If you have the time, I’d really appreciate it if you could check out Our Story. The poor guy is still shaking from this mysterious letter from a female…
I reread books ALL THE TIME.
All the time. I’ll reread books four times in a year. I’m a bit crazy that way.
But I read super fast, so there’s a guarantee that each time through a reread I’ll notice something that I hadn’t noticed before.
I really love to reread. Some books just don’t deserve to be read once.

Yes re-readers untie! I often will re-read right after I read the book to catch stuff I miss.

I love rereading book so much. Even though my TBR pile is huge, I think rereading my favorites is completely worth it. It’s so amazing to be able to notice new details after a second or third or fourth or fifth (it could go on and on) read of a book.

Ah yes. Every time you read the book it make more and more sense…

I don’t feel like I should re-read (loads of shiny new books… my precious…) but I do with my very favourite series. They just seem too good to go to wreck and ruin. (Now I really should stop reading blogs because of the massive piles of books to read but ah well…)

I almost never re-read (pretty much for the reasons you listed in this post). I know that a lot of people love to re-read, but I just can’t bring myself to do it in the face of my massive TBR … 🙂

I’d probably do the same if I had a TBR. (My TBR right now is zero.)

I don’t re-read books. I don’t see a point to reading books I have already read, when there are so many books out there that I have NOT read.

Since I discovered I like audiobooks, I have become a re-reader of sorts. I’ve now listened to a couple of books that I previously read. It’s a great way to rediscover a book while making progress on new books. I usually listen on my drive to work.

I haven’t dove into the world of audio books yet but they sound really useful. I also could’t get headaches listing to an audio book…
