Beloved is one of those books that I can’t believe I haven’t read yet. A Prayer for Owen Meany is the Irving that I’ve reread.

White Teeth and Arab’s Wife are on my re-read list as well!

your story about the Atwood is so, so cool. I wanna have a book in my life in that way too (but hopefully not a dystopian novel 😭)

Excellent video. I love rereading favorite books. A did a couple of videos on the topic a couple of months ago.

I'm with you on Wuthering Heights. It seems to be such a divisive book, but I'm definitely among those that love it.

When I reread, it will usually be a short book. Here are a few of them. _The Time Machine_ by H.G. Wells _The Great Gatsby_ by F. Scott Fitzgerald _The Seven Year Itch,_ a play by George Axelrod _The Invention of Morel_ by Adolfo Bioy Casares _Destination Moon_ and _Explorers on the Moon_ by Hergé

Fantastic fantastic fantastic!!! So many wonderful choices. Agree… Lonesome Dove is awesome… I just read True Grit for June on the Range and loved that too. Recommend. The Count of MC is on my list to re-read as it’s a favorite. I’m itching to re-read the Scarlet Letter, Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice among others. I put Greenwood on my list to watch for! East of Eden, Ahab’s Wife are already sitting on my shelf to be read… MUST DO! So glad you’re settled and getting back to us. We missed you tons and love hearing your voice (even if it’s froggy!) ❤

So glad to see you back. That’s a great new background.

Terrific video! I seldom reread, but I'm now rereading The LOT R trilogy (again). My altimeter favorites! Lonesome Dove is my next favorite. Maybe Hamlet is next. Now I'm thinking about Garp. Hmmm? A more obscure choice that I might reread again is The Sojourner by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings. It's from 1953, but I loved it.

Hello Kim, glad to see you back! OK, I will read Lonesome Dove. And I will finish Middlemarch this year. Aloha dear friend.

Oooohhh, a Cart of Chaos! - Just like the one Doris once had 😂🥳😎

Another great video -- thanks for sharing (added Idaho to the list)! Hope you feel better soon!!

Glad to see you back Kim :) What an incredible selection! Thanks for sharing!

I re-read LOTR with my daughter last year and I completely agree that it is a delightful re-read. So much fun! I am adding White Teeth, Idaho and Greenwood to my TBR right now

Great topic. It seems less people reread books currently than in the past? I used to be a big rereader, in fact I hardly bought new books but rather reread the ones I already had and loved.In the past few years i've picked the habit up again but only one book a year. This year I'm rereading "Bird by Bird" by Anne Lamont. I don't read it to learn to write; I just read it because I like her humor and how she writes.

Welcome back! 🎉 I rarely read a book twice but I had to read Colin and Penelope’s story again before season 3 of Bridgerton! 😅😂

Not a rereader. I have learned my tastes have changed. My definition of five stars is different from my younger days. As I continue my quest to read what I have Rebecca is the one book I just can't put in the donate bag. Today via the library (2024/2025 No buy years.) I added Idaho and Greenwood. I'm considering Lonesome Dove.

I am, of course, a big rereader. From your list I have probably reread The Hobbit the most times.I probably need to reread East of Eden. It's been so long! Great video!

You look great and sound happy. (New glasses?) 4 times: Pillars of the Earth (Ken Follett). The Stand (Stephen King). Eisenhorn (Dan Abnett). 3 times: Polar Star (Martin Cruz Smith). The Shining, To Kill a Mockingbird (Harper Lee). TBR cart: Most Excellent thing ever.

I have great memories of reading Greenwood with you, Kim. Wonderful video, I love rereading!

Thanks for this video. I think you did one once already, as I seem to remember most of these titles. I don’t reread much because of the reason you gave, fear of not loving it as much as I did the first time. Some times I am not aware of rereading. I read Where did you go Bernadette twice. The second time I didn’t even remember I already read it and nothing sounded familiar while rereading 🤦🏽‍♀️ That did scare me a bit at the time. Lovely book though. I reread The Lord of the rings several times. And I reread the Outlander series. But since it has become such a hype the pull is less. I do want to reread Wuthering Heights now I am older. I’ll probably listen to it. I seem to not have the patience for rereads, which I regret.

I have never been a rereader but you make an convincing case to maybe give a few books I loved a reread. Like you I am afraid I won't love it as much. I was excited to see that I had picked up Idaho at a library sale. This gives birth to my first post retirement challenge! Read Kim's Favorite rereads for the first time. The only books I do not have is Greenwood and The World According to Garp which I think will be easy enough to find at a library sale. Good to see you are feeling better and that you are getting settled into your new space. I am so happy for you. Be well.

You exude contentment and excitement😊! I have reread all my life. Emil of Lönneberga by Astrid Lindgren and The little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéri were my childhood favourites. I started rereading methodically two years ago, setting a goal of twelve books a year. Additionally I chose December as a rereading-month, where I either catch up or reread more. 5 Favourite books that I have read more than twice: •One Hundred Years of Solitude •The Waves •Burial Rites by Hannah Kent •A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini •Caribou Island by David Vann 3 books that I reread and loved this year: • An Unnecessary Woman by Rabih Alameddine • A chain of Voices by André Brink • The Weird Sisters by Eleanor Brown I noticed that if I connect emotionally to a book, no matter how flawed it is, I want to reread it. Mostly the reread is 'successful'. I am currently reading and loving Middlemarch (in publication order). After that, probably starting October, I plan on reading Lonesome Dove over a period of three months. You are right, I haven't yet come across a booktuber that dislikes the book😁!

I am going to be reading East if eden for my big book summer challenge. I was influenced by Oprah's bookclub years ago but luckily the copy I have is a secondhand Penguin classic and not one that has the nonrefundable sticker on it. Ahab's Wife is patiently waiting on my shelf as well. Idaho sounds interesting. Love the bookcart!

I've been thinking about reading The world according to Garp, have heard so many good things. Good to know that you liked it so much, since we seem to have very similar reading taste.

I really need to read Greenwood.

I kept expecting “Now in November”! I love many of these and have reread them! PS I live even further north in Idaho than Emily R!😅

I am not a big rereader since I would usually prefer spending my time exploring new books, so I typically reread maybe one or two books a year. This year I am way outside my norm. I have reread five books so far and am currently reading two others. I plan on at least two others as well. I doubt this will become a trend for me, but I am enjoying it this year. I keep thinking I'll read Ahab's Wife. It's on my shelf so I can easily do so, but I simply haven't picked it up. Maybe before the end of the year I will.

There have only ever been two books that I’ve wanted to reread -but I haven’t yet because life is too short and secondly , as you mentioned too, I’m afraid they won’t make as much of an impact of me as when I read them the first time time around. I’ve never read east of Eden, although it’s been on my TBR for YEARS. As for Lonesome Dove- I’m still not convinced and very intimidated by a 1000 page western.😮 😂

Pretty much any Austen, though Persuasion is my favourite. Anne of Green Gables, any number of Madeleine L'Engle's non fiction books, and my favourite book of all time, Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier.

Did you read Great Circle? For me it had that epic sweep of East of Eden, and like your Idaho book, it takes place in Montana and has that rugged landscape or characters making their way through it.

I really need to get to Middlemarch this year! How can I be a subscriber and not have read it! 😅

I never thought I'd find another person who is not in love with Little Women I have White Teeth on my shelf but haven't read it I also, even as a teen, realized that Wuthering Heights is not a romance and I get annoyed when people claim it is

I am allowing myself some rereading this year. I started Anna Karenina the other day and will pick up East of Eden after that. I read both probably 20 years ago and LOVED them, but I am curious how I would feel about them now in my mid 40s. I feel like I will get so much more out of each now.
