Re-Reading and Favorite Re-Reads

In general I don't re-read a lot of novels. I guess I always have something new to read, so re-reading has never been a thing for me. I can usually remember a story line really well too, so it's like reliving everything over. Don't get me wrong, that can be really fun, but sometimes it's nice to experience new things. 

I have re-read some novels. Usually it's been several years since my first reading. Here are some of the novels I have re-read.

• All seven Harry Potter novels. I've read the first six between three and five times each. The seventh one I've only read twice (within a month of its release). I may re-read these one day...I want to, I just don't have the time.
• The Hobbit-I after seeing the fist movie (I still haven't seen either of the next two), I re-read the book. I must say, I enjoy the novel more. It's a great little read. Short too (less than 300 pages!). 
• Ella Enchanted-I've read this book several times. Every couple of years since the first time I've read it I pick this book back up. I don't really know what it is about this book that I like. I just really enjoy it. Don't watch the movie though. I can't stand the movie.
• The Icemark Chronicles-I read the first two novels years ago, but for some reason never read the third one. I recently re-read the first two and finished with the third. I really enjoyed them the second time around. My memory was jogged as I read and I always knew what was coming next, but they were fun nonetheless.
• Pride and Prejudice-I love re-reading my favorite classics! I want to read all six Austen novels in a month sometime. Soon hopefully. It would be so interesting to compare them after reading them back to back. I enjoyed every single one of them. I've only re-read Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility though.

I can't think of any other re-reads off the top of my head. I generally just get into a new series or novel and skim old ones when I feel like it. There are a couple that I will be re-reading soon. The main one I want to mention is the Legend trilogy by Marie Lu. I am hosting a read along starting Jan first if you want to participate! You can find our group here.

So, do you re-read novels? If so tell me in the comments which ones are your favorites and why!

As always, you can find me on YouTube, Goodreads, and Twitter.

Until next time.
