Book Blogger Hop – April 28 – May 4, 2017
About the Book Blogger Hop
The Book Blogger Hop was originally created by Jennifer from Crazy-For-Books in March 2010 and ended on December 31, 2012. With Jennifer’s permission, Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer relaunched the meme on February 15, 2013.
Each week the hop will start on a Friday and end on Thursday. There will be a weekly prompt featuring a book related question. The hop’s purpose is to give bloggers a chance to follow other blogs, learn about new books, befriend other bloggers, and receive new followers to your own blog.
This week’s question:
How many books have you re-read? If you have re-read books, please tell us the book’s title and why you re-read it. (submitted by Elizabeth @ Silver’s Reviews)
I used to reread books ALL THE TIME! I can’t even count how many times I’ve read Pride & Prejudice, the Harry Potter series, and a few others. I used to read these at least once a year. It’s been a while since I revisited these favorites. I do miss them and I’m hoping to get to them this year. And there are quite a few books that I want to reread that I have only read once. I love to reread my favorites . . . it’s like visiting old friends. I love the new experience I have each time I read the books. I’m at a different place in my life each time, so I have a different perspective.
I try to reread Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Patterson once a year, but other than that I don’t tend to repeat reads. There are so many books out there I’ll never get a chance to read–it’s got to be quite a book for me to read it again.
What about you? Do you reread books?

I reread too and it’s pretty much for the same reason Chrissy does – to revisit favorite characters. Of course do to time constraints I don’t revisit nearly as much as I used too!
by TheEveryFreeChanceReader
The time constraints really hamper the rereading! I do miss those characters, though.
Thanks for visiting EFC! =)

Chrissy – I’m like you, I love to re-read. I love comfort reading. And I’ve reread Pride and Prejudice many times. One of my favorite books. And Harry Potter, too, of course.
Melissa – I do understand how it can be difficult to re-read when there are so many other books to read. I love re-reading, but it’s not for everyone.
by TheEveryFreeChanceReader
Yes, rereading the favorites is comfort reading. That’s a great way to put it!
Thanks for stopping by! =)

I so wish I can re-read some of my favorites books, but unfortunately I don’t because I want to read what I have on my long tbr pile first. That includes books that I do for blog tour etc. Have a great weekend and happy blog hopping.

I understand . . . my TBR is very long, which is why I haven’t been able to reread in quite some time.
Have a great weekend!

Marvelous answer….I actually do not re-read, but visiting old friends is a perfect reason to re-read.

Thanks for the welcome! I’m looking forward to each week. This is a fun hop!

Pride & Prejudice is one that I’ve reread a number of times. I have a few fantasy series that I always go back to as well. Great post!
by TheEveryFreeChanceReader
P&P is always a great one to reread.
Thanks for visiting EFC!
by Kym Thorpe
Like visiting old friends – yes, that’s how I feel about re-reading good books too! Pride and Prejudice is one of the classics that I try to read just about every year.
by TheEveryFreeChanceReader
It’s been a few years since I’ve reread Pride & Prejudice. I think I may need to make some time for it this year. I miss Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy!
by Erica @ The Literary Apothecary
I actually do revisit old friends, as Elizabeth so eloquently put it, on a regular basis. Why? Some of the stories are well-written and I seem to learn something new each time I read them.
by TheEveryFreeChanceReader
I’m the same way . . . I usually learn something new or find a new clue or aspect to the book that I missed the other times I read it.
Thanks for stopping by!
by Literary Feline (Wendy)
I am not much of a re-reader, but I do plan to re-read a lot of my favorites . . . someday. I’m just not sure when someday will be. Haha.
I hope you have a great week! Thanks for sharing!
by TheEveryFreeChanceReader
Currently, I’m on the someday plan as well. LOL
Have a wonderful week! Thanks for visiting EFC!

Re-visiting beloved favorites is great, but I agree — there are SO many books out there we’ll never be able to read….sigh….
I LOVE the Harry Potter series!! I’ve re-read the first 3 books. And, of course, I’ve also re-read The Twilight Saga!!
Thanks for commenting on my own BBH post!! Have a great week!! <3 : )
by TheEveryFreeChanceReader
I, too, have reread the Twilight series many times. And I know what you mean . . . there are so many great books out there to read for the first time!

Ah, the days before book blogging! I had time for more re-reads and personal reads in general. Thanks for dropping by my blog.
by TheEveryFreeChanceReader
I’m with you on that! Before book blogging, there was more time for rereads! Thanks for visiting!
