Books I Like to Reread

 

 Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. 

 Books I Like to Reread

One of my favorite things to do is reread a favorite book. I love visiting a treasured story again and seeing it in a different light. Here is a list of ten of the books/series I like to reread.

1. Hogfather by Terry Pratchett 

Last reread: 12/29/24

~ I reread Hogfather every year at Christmas. Hogwash is a holiday in the Discworld series which is basically our Christmas and the Hogfather is similar to our Santa/Father Christmas. Hogfather is one of my all-time favorite books and it is always a joy return to it every year.

2. The Land of Stories series by Chris Colfer

Last reread: 7/2-10/23

~ When The Land of Stories series was originally coming out, I would reread each of the previous books before the next one would come out every year. After the series finished in 2017, I still continued rereading the series every year up until last year. It is my favorite middle grade series that came out after I was in middle school. I adore this world and the characters.  

3. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

Last reread: 5/21-22/24

~ On May 25th, fans of Douglas Adams celebrate his life with a day called Towel day. Many years, I reread his The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in honor of him. I talk about this book all the time on this blog because of how much I adore it. Douglas's humor was top notch. I could probably read this book a thousand times and it would still make me laugh out loud. It's just that good.  

 

4. A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens

Last reread: 12/4-29/24

~ Every year, I either reread A Christmas Carol, listen to some version of it, or watch some movie version of the story. Last year, I listened to an advent version of it which played a part of it every day. I adore Scrooge's story and it is definitely a staple for Christmastime. 

 

5. Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones

Last reread: 6/19-20/22

~ I have only reread Howl's Moving Castle once but I wanted to put it on this list because it is my favorite book of all-time. It is definitely a book on this list that I plan on rereading again very soon.  

6. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll 

Last reread: 1/27-28/24

~ Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has been a favorite of mine ever since I was a child and first signed it out from my elementary school library. I have read it many times since then and adore it more every single time. Wonderland is a world I will never get sick of. Whether it be through Carroll's book or through the countless retellings I pick up.  

 

7. Macbeth by William Shakespeare

Last reread: 4/29/25

~ My favorite of William Shakespeare's plays is definitely Macbeth. It is a story I have loved ever since eighth grade and still enjoy to this day. I have read or experienced this play probably about five times in my life (most for school) and it only gets better every single time. There are so many scenes that stand out especially with the witches.    

8. Inkheart by Cornelia Funke

Last reread: 10/28-30/24

~ One of my favorite books in ninth grade was Inkheart. I loved the idea of being able to read characters out of your favorite books and being able to travel into them. This is a favorite that I have reread many times over the years along with the rest of the original trilogy.  

 

9. Thirty Things by Cate Ashwood

Last reread: 3/24-25/25

~ One of my biggest comfort reads is Thirty Things. It is a book I turn to when I need a read that will make me smile and happy. I adore this story and the characters with all my heart.  

 

 

10. Caught Running by Madeleine Urban and Abigail Roux

Last reread: 5/7/22

 

~ Another comfort read for me. I'm quite fond of this beautiful story and love rereading it every so often. It's been a favorite of mine since I first read it in 2017 and it still is to this day.
