It does help that I read quickly, but even if I didn't, I'd still reread. I like to revisit favorite characters, stories, and worlds.

I barely remember everything about those books from all those years ago! That's why I want to read a few of them so badly. It's almost necessary to life to me. :)Jessica L.

What's the point of having and keeping all these lovelies if I'm essentially sentencing them to eternal slumber the moment I turn that last page? It's actually kinda sad. but as you mentioned, there is this pressure to make sure I'm not wasting time by reading stuff I'll actually review. That can get really irritating, I must admit.<br /><br />The one book on your last that I agree with you on strongly is The Iron King. I read it back in 2011, I have all the others and I haven't touched one yet. I'm afraid I'll have lost my connection to Meghan, which is a shame because I really loved the first book, her as a character, etc. <br /><br />The thing for all of us to remember as bloggers, though, is that we started this because we love books and even more important then promoting new stories we love is doing whatever it takes to maintain our own love of stories that brought us here in the first place. Sometimes re-reading an old favorite can be as vital as watering a plant when it comes to recharging our reading batteries.

This year I think I will reread "Ashfall" by Mike Mullin. rose.ann.castrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12044473268987727067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6825931548219116513.post-1054807094118603962013-02-06T09:21:44.432-05:002013-02-06T09:21:44.432-05:00I have two quirks when it comes to reading.

I already know the ending so my mind tells me to move one. There are too many books out there. That is the same reason if a book doesn't grab me in the first two or three chapters. It is history. No need to waste time on something I do not really love. Too many books out there.

Whenever I start rereading though, I get bored because I feel like I already know what's going to happen. <br /><br />There are a couple I can get away with though, one of which is Anne of Green Gables series- you have good taste. :) I think I like that one so much because it takes me back to being a younger and it's just so good.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10776037898595851544noreply@blogger.com
