I’m always slightly irked at the number of books Goodreads says I’ve read each year. In 2024, the app says, I’ve read 52 books but that’s incorrect. I’m sure I’ve read at least twenty-five more books but they’re all re-reads which don’t count.
I love re-reading beloved books. I find them comforting. In the past two weeks, I re-read Liz Carlyle’s Wicked All Day, Adele Ashworth’s Stolen Charms, Loretta Chase’s Your Scandalous Ways, and Kristen Callihan’s The Hook Up. (Of these, my favorite was Stolen Charms which I’d completely forgotten and was great fun.)
I’d hazard that about a third of my reading is re-reading. How about you? Are you a re-reader? If so, why? What have you re-read lately?
