Reading Your Own Book After It's Published

With Kiya: Hope of the Pharaoh's second anniversary recently passing, I decided it was time to read the trilogy again, because honestly, I hadn't read them since I approved them for publication.That's Two Years since I read something I worked so hard on, and that has changed my life.
Things I noticed. There were definite improvements in writing style from one book to the next. It's like a permanent record of my growth as a writer. Although, they are all technical things, things that don't really distract from the plot. In general, I still love the stories, especially the characters, and I still cried when so-and-so died, and grinned when so-and-so triumphed.  I still love Naomi, flaws and all. She's reckless, and often follows her heart without checking with her head first, especially when it comes to her children. 
And book 3 is still my favorite!
Anyway, I don't want to go on about my book, mostly I just wanted to mention how cool it was to read the books again after so long. It's like I put them out there, and moved on. I've been so focused on other works, I just let them roll on. I'm glad I decided to read them again! I'd recommend all author's go back and read their books again.
