Re-Reading Books and Why I Do This

Hello, Fellow Book Worms and Book Dragons!


  Many of you have been asking me: Why does someone re-read a book?

  I have a few reasons why I re-read books:

1. Series Re-Reads- Many times I get involved in a series of books. Duologies, trilogies and long-term series are my main factors. If a book was released in 2015 and a year later its sequel comes out, I may have forgotten important details in the story line that I need to revisit. I can do this by referencing parts of the novel, or I can just set aside some time to re-read the entire book. I find that re-reading the entire novel is the best way.  
2. Seasonal and Holiday Re-Reads- I tend to re-read certain books at certain times of the year. For Halloween I re-read the Exorcist by William Peter Blatty. For Christmas I pull out my Christmas Story leather bound book by Charles Dickens. I also have re-read S.E. Hinton's Outsiders in the Summer, which reminds me of being a teenager and reading this amazing book for the first time. The time of year has a big factor on my reading, especially in Autumn with the falling leaves and smoky air from bonfires. That is when I read mysteries, historical fiction, and scary books.
3.  Childhood Memories Re-Reads- I love picking up a book that I read as a child. By doing this I get into a fun and cozy mood, remembering how I felt when I had read a childhood favorite for the first time. This can include Beverly Cleary, Lois Lowry, or John Bellairs. It is always a great idea to revisit a happy childhood, or to create one that you may have not had.

Have fun reading this week. Let me know in the comments below what you are reading or re-reading.
