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:

I'm been wanting this since I've joined Goodreads!! Thank you so much for making it happen! You've made all of us readers very happy!
oh my fucking god! thank you guys! i was waiting dis so damn freaky much! thankyouthannkyouthankyou!
Omg Cool. I had to keep putting my old dates in my review to add my new reread dates...
YAAAAAS. So the last thing you should do, is the system of half stars. Being patient and waiting for that to come ;)
This is great news! I often re-read books, and sometimes will repeat a book within quite a short period of time, so this feature sounds ideal for my reading habits. I love that it takes into account different editions too. It's clear that a lot of thought, as well as effort, went into this new feature. Thanks, Goodreads!
So excited! This is the one thing I have really been missing since Shelfari closed! Goodreads is officially my favorite website ever!
Thanks for finally adding this. It's a big deal for people who do a lot of reading, which is probably almost everyone on GR. I'm not sure why it took so long.
Woop! This is great! Thanks, Goodreads! (My previous challenges will finally be correct again :D).
Happy that this was added. The feature might need a bit more tweaking; the activity (I do have the feature checked) is not showing up in my Activities on Facebook.
Consider the following in all caps.you guys are the best
heck yeah
and thank you to infinity!
Finally. For years Ive been adding duplicates to my shelves to get around this. Better get started on sorting those books then :)
I am definately rereading Harry Potter! Again!
thank you so much! Will re-reads count towards our yearly challenges? For example, if we read Peter Pan twice in one year would that add one or two books to the challenge?
This is a feature I will rarely use. I don't really re-read books, except a few childhood favorites I love.Most re-read books are The Giving Tree and The Poky Little Puppy.
Thanks goodreads for fulfilling our wishes! This is amazing!
Thank you!!! This could not have come at a better time! Thank you goodreads!!!!
YAY! Thank you so much for this feature! Now I can read anything I want guilt-free knowing it will still count towards my goal for the ongoing year. :D
This is awesome. Thanks to everyone who made this possible for their hard work.

That spells out Clean, did you mean to do that?
I reread "The Grapes of Wrath", all of the Anne of Green Gables series, and "The Confederacy of Dunces"
Every year I re-read a few books, so, big thank you!
Yay! I've reread some of my books so many times their bindings are held together with scotch tape! The Chronicles of Narnia, the Redwall stories, the Riftwar Saga, Trainspotting- so many books I love to pick up again. Thanks for adding this feature!
Wow..thank a lot!! I wonder about this topic before and simply re-rate for the book I reread. Then, I'll check the new feature soon :D
how exciting!!! now i can properly organize my read list with the actual editions! :Dthank you so much!
Omg yes! I was just about to start rereading a book! This is going to be so helpful.
I was just thinking about how sad it was that we couldn't "reread" books on here...and then: SURPRISE! So happy right now :3
Fabulous! Thank you for the hard work you put into this. You thought of everything and communicated it splendidly. Good work, Goodreads!
O thank you Goodreads! You have made my day even better :)
YAAAAASSSSSS!!!!!!! I see it and it is glorious!!!!
