Rereading is a topic I spend a lot of time thinking about every year. I LOVE rereading and yet I hardly ever do it because I have so many books I want to read for the first time. I always feel a pull to read my unread books before rereading, and of course, my shelves will never be empty of unread books, so rereading never happens. But I do want to make an effort to allow myself to reread more and not feel guilty about it. I've been itching to reread something lately, and these books are at the top of my list.
P.S. You are about to be linked to some very old reviews, so let's just take a moment to be thankful of how far my reviews and posts have come since staring the blog in 2014.
I LOVED this novel, but its emotional nature makes me hesitant to reread it. It was easy to convince myself to pick it up for the first time after reading and loving Code Name Verity when I knew it would be emotional, but was unsure of just how emotional it would be. Now that I know, I'm hesitant to do that to myself again even though I want to reread it in the worst way. I'll talk myself into one day.
I want to reread this one for a couple reasons, the first of which is that I don't remember anything from it and I want to continue on with the series; the second reason is that I think I would like it even more the second time around than I did the first time because of my developed love for creepy and supernatural stories. The main thing keeping me from reading it right now is the size. This book is huge! Maybe when the third book in the series comes out, I will marathon all three starting with this one.
I will be rereading this one before the end of the year! I loved this novel so much and I've wanted to reread it ever since I finished it in 2015. This could easily be a book I reread every year. I'm a little nervous about not liking it as much the second time through, but I'm pretty confident that this book will hold up to the image of it I have in my mind.
This book was strange and wonderful. I have never read anything else like it in YA, and I really want to reread it as I have been thinking about it a lot since reading it three years ago. This is a short read, so it should be a quick reread I can squeeze in before the end of the year.
This is another novel I keep coming back to in my mind on a pretty regular basis. The atmosphere of this novel is amazingly developed and I think it makes a lot of really interesting social commentary on quite a few issues. I would like to reread so I can further develop my thoughts on this one, and I would love to experience this novel again, as it is an experience.
I'm not sure if I want to reread this one before watching the T.V. or after. I think I will go with after since I have heard that the show differs from the book quite a bit and I don't want to ruin the show by having the book too fresh in my mind. In addition to rereading this, I need to get reading some of Atwood's other works for the first time! See what I mean about prioritizing new reads over rereads?!
What books are you dying to reread? Any you reread on a regular basis?
I have got to reread The Handmaid's Tale. I loved it at the time but I think a lot of things went over my head. And I've seen Where Things Come Back pop up a lot these days. I've been meaning to give that one a go for a long time.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy a reread of Handmaid's Tale! WTCB is so bizarre but in the best way.
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
I loved the Diviners, and would love to reread it just so I can be transported back into that world! Hope you do get around to it! The second book was also great, though I don't remember ANYTHING. I loved I'll Give You the Sun too! Another of my friends also wanted to reread it. I should give both of her books a reread sometime soon, I loved them so! <3
