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:

Whoo hoo! Thank you!!!

Yes! This is amazing, thank you for granting our wish!
I don't think I've been this excited since I first learned of ice cream!! This is so fantastic!!!
Woop! I've been waiting on this for a hot minute! Thank you Goodreads!
Love it! THAAAAAAAANK YOU!I've read Pride & Prejudice a good 10 times I think... I love that book. Of my mastery and human dynamics: I've read 7 habits of effective people and Think and Grow Rich a couple of times. This year I intend to re-read: The Magic of thinking big, the science of Willpower, and the success principles. These books are just "life manuals" to me and I am so thankful for the opportunity to recognize them in my reading challenge.
OMG!!! Thank you so much!!! You're the best!!! I'm your fan!!! *insert fangirling here* <3 <3 <3
Thank you soo much. Now I can get challenge credit for rereading favorite books!!
This is SO exciting. I have a VERY large collection of all my favorite books and I love to go back to them between new reads. They're like palette cleansers (especially if I just finished reading something that I didn't like very much).
Finally a feature I like and will use. Thanks!

And if I don't want that reread books were counted for my Reading Challe..."
If you don't want it to count towards the Reading Challenge, just don't add the year.
I'd like to reread "Catcher in the Rye" and "A Wrinkle in Time" at least once every year.
Super Fantastic! Thank you very much. Appreciate all the effort (and maddening coding) it took.
I'm so happy about this! Last year was my biggest rereading year! Thank you!
AWESOME! Thanks for this feature goodreads!
I started reading The Hobbit in 2nd grade, so back in the 1980's. My first read through of LOTR that I finished was 4th grade.
HOLY GUACAMOLY!!! Best news ever!!!! Thank you Goodreads!!! <3
Hooray! This is amazing! Thank you Goodreads! =D
Thank you. This is a great addition to the site :)
Mine is Heartless by Marissa Meyer. Can't get enough of it.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Rereading the Harry Potter series this year and considering rereading and catching up with the Pendergast series by Preston and Child. Nice to not have to worry so much about the Reading Challenge while I do.
Thank you so much! This is the update that we have all been waiting for!!!<3
Really doubt anyone will answer this.......................But I went in to a couple books I know to have read more than once, and the shelf updates are gone. Reading progress used to include when a book was switched between shelves... now only reading progress remains. Unfortunately this added a glitch to my read-dates since I tend to mark something read on the date i read it. And the new update now wants me to add a finish date for all the reads, including re-reads... but without the shelf updates I don't know the dates. How do i find these???
3 years of living without this feature were hard, man.
This is so great! Want to know what I'd love to see next? A RANDOM button. I'd love to be able to go to a certain shelf ("to-read" or "young adult" for example), click a random button and have one random book from that shelf chosen. It would be a fun way to decide what to read next!
Those are very great news!! I am so happy about it :) Just right on time. I am already planning some re-reads and with this function is it going to be much easier to keep a track on them. Thank you so much :)
YES!! Thank you for adding that! I've been waiting for that!

Go to your My Books page, and select a shelf. Then scroll down to the bottom of the page, where the "sort" dropdown is. One of the options is Random.
It's fun to play with.
Great news, now I can finaly reread The Dark Tower!
I reread Chris Baty's No Plot No Problem every October - November every year since 2012 when I do NaNoWriMo.
now all we need goodreads is a half star rating
Thank you!!!! I re-read the Lux Series by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Thank You!!
