Rereading Is Here! Let's Say It Again. Rereading Is Here!
How much do we love rereading? Let us count the ways…for those days when you just want to spend time with your favorite characters; or when you want to revisit a beloved classic; or maybe you want to brush up on a series before the next installment comes out (we're still waiting, George R.R. Martin and Diana Gabaldon), the list goes on! Rereading is such a core part of many of our readers' lives that having a better way to keep track of the times you've read a book has been your number one feature request. Starting today, that wish has been granted—no more missing out on rereads being counted for your Reading Challenge!
How Do I Start Using the Rereading Feature?
Next time you decide to reread a book that you've already marked as Read on Goodreads, simply mark it as Currently Reading. When you are done, just mark it as Read. You can do this from the Goodreads iOS and Android apps and on Goodreads.com, as well as in the About the Book feature on Kindle (if you have connected your Goodreads and Amazon accounts - click here to connect your accounts). We take care of marking it as a reread for you. Bonus, it will also automatically be included in your Reading Challenge.
Rereading Rolling Out In Stages
While it sounds like a simple thing to add, rereading turned out to be a complex engineering challenge that involved our entire database. To give you a sense of that scope, our 60 million members have added more than 1.7 billion books to their shelves! That's why we're rolling out rereading in stages. So, if you're not seeing it yet, you will soon!
How Do I Know If I Have the New Rereading Feature?
Go to Goodreads.com on desktop, choose a book you have already read, and click Edit on the My Activity area of the Book Page. At the bottom of the review section, you'll see the following:
How Do I Add All The Times I've Reread My Favorite Books?
On Goodreads.com on desktop, use the brand-new "Add read date" button in My Activity on the Book Page to enter when you read the book; then hit save! (You don't have to have a start date, but you must have a finish year for the book to count toward your Reading Challenge.)
What Happens If I've Been Keeping Track of My Rereads With The "Number of Times Read" Option?
If you previously used the "Number of times read" field, don't worry, we've already done the work for you and all your rereads are still there. If you added a number, it automatically shows in the new feature. If you used text, we've included it in the private notes section of your review. Simply click on edit Review, to change any dates or add more information.
I've Been Using Different Editions to Track Rereads, What Happens Now?
Our new rereading feature takes that into account! Rereads are comprehensive of all editions. When you view your review, it will indicate that you have also read another edition and include that in the total count.
Wondering which are the books Goodreads members most love to reread? Here are some of the most revisited books:

There will only be one review and one rating associated with each edition of a book that you shelve, regardless of rereading sessions. However, you can certainly add additional thoughts within the review text for different rereadings.
Now that you added this feature I can officially say that Goodreads is the best. Thank you !!
Awesome! This is going to be a fun and interesting feature :)
I am happy about the reread feature, really I am. But why is every single book I added to my currently reading shelf yesterday showing as a second read, when not a single one has been read during my GR membership? Is there a way to fix this?
YAY!!! Thank you Goodreads! Been wanting this for ages!
This changes my life~!!! I REREAD EVERY SINGLE DAY!!HELL YES!!
Thank you very much! It's a very useful feature.
THANK YOU!!!!!!! I was so frustrated that books I was re-reading weren't being counted towards my reading goal!! :)
Nice.But reread book appears at its most recently read date instead of the date it was first read. This is really annoying.
And if I don't want that reread books were counted for my Reading Challenge? If I just want to add a reread date?
Don't think I'll be using this new feature, cause it's messing with my bookshelf.

I will post here when I have more information. Sorry for the inconvenience in the meantime!
OMG y'all actually gave us something we wanted!!! I'm SHOCKED. If you would allow us half ratings, I might start considering this site useful again.
This is a long overdue feature, but I'm glad it's here! Well-timed, too, as there are a few books I've been intending to reread before their sequels come out and this'll make it easier to track them. :)

OMG! BEST NEWS EVER...... Thank you so much for adding this. I reread at least 5-6 books a year and now those can be added to my reading challenge here!!!!
YES!!! This is a feature I have wanted forever! I am a frequent rereader. Thank you SO much for adding it. One of my latest favorite rereads - Dear Mr. Knightley by Katherine Reay.
YEEEES, finally!! I've been hoping for that feature for ages! Now if only I could actually remember all the books I've re-read and would need to edit... XD
This is amazing! I've been waiting for this for so long :D:D:D
Thank you! Been wishing for this so much - I re-read a lot :)
YESSSSS, THANKS!!!! I LOVE YOU GOODREADS!!!!!!! ♥
Oh Yessss!!!! Thank you Goodreads!!!!!! This is AWESOME!!!
I re-read the Pegasus book series by Kate O Hearn..in fact, it's the only books I will re-read! They are the best books ever! :D
Today is my birthday, and this is up there on best-possible-birthday-gifts-to-receive. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU ^_^
I read Tove Jansson's 'Summer Book' every summer. I love the relationship between the grandmother and the little girl. I read the Moomin books when I'm low. They always cheer me up.
You've made my day! This is so fantastic! Thank you so much Goodreads, for finally doing this! A feature I've wished you had for forever! Especially trying to complete the reading challenge each year when I want to reread books. Sometimes it's hard to read all new ones!
