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 have re-read F. H. Burnett's _Little Princess_ once a year since I first read it at 8 years old..... so..... 30 times? Still my favorite book. I've also read Anne McCaffrey's Harper Hall Triology at least 4 times each (more than 4 times each, for _DragonSinger_ and _DragonSong_).

Thank you so much, Goodreads! I already tried it out, it works great!
This is a neat feature! But is anyone else getting multiple of read?Like I'm pretty sure there's a bunch of books I've only read ONCE but the site now insists it happened a few times (with different versions of book)
So with the 'duplicates' feature, will duplicates be going away, or do they remain? Seems like duplicates could be replaced with a re-reads page or something like that.
YES!!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! APPRECIATE ALL THE HARD WORK INTO MAKING THIS POSSIBLE!!!
This is awesome and was very much needed! Seems to still be some kinks to work out (switching an edition of a book on one I was currently reading escalated my read count by 1 and is now throwing off my 2017 Reading Challenge count :(), but I have confidence that you'll iron out all the bugs soon. Keep up the great work!
Goodreads sees the introverted OCD adventurer soul in us all and knows it is beautiful and perfect and wants only to serve and bask in its absent-minded yet focused love. If it continues at this rate, it will always have the right to do so, so say I.Lol.
Nice!!Pride and Prejudice
Harry Potter
Anne of Green Gables
City of Bones
Thank you Goodreads!! *insert happy dancing* :D
Thank you, finally! It was the only thing missing to make this site perfect for my readings ;D
YAY! This has been my one problem/complaint with the reading challenges, and I am so happy to see the feature in my review options now! Thanks Goodreads. :)
Although I barely read a book twice or more, but it's a good feature.
It's "Bambie"! The book I reread the most =) I read it more than 10 times already?.. I think, with all the sequels even?
This is great news, if I recorded a reread in the past I'd have to go through the palaver of selecting a new issue etc.
MOTHER OF GOD YES THANK YOU NOW ALL WE NEED IS THE ABILITY TO GIVE HALF STARS AND THIS SITE WILL BE FLAWLESS
THANK YOUUUUU - Now if you could add half stars, I'd never ask for anything else again ;)
Exactly what I wanted goodreads to have. I am rereading The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and could not find this feature.. Yay! You listened to us Goodreads. Thanks!
Small chance, big smile! Thanks for adding this feature!
Goodreads, you were just about perfect when you added this... Now you are!!
OH MY UNIVERSE, that's awesome, thank you!! Thank you for making that happen! I know you've made so many goodreaders happy with that news. I can't say how much I appreciate it.THANKS, GOODREADS!
Yay, and just as I'm busy rereading two old gems!
Thank you, thank you, thank you Goodreads for adding this feature. Love it!!!!
This is a fantastic feature! Thank you for listening to the Goodreads members who have been waiting for this day! :)
Cool beans! Goodreads has made many a reader very happpy :) High five! *ow*
Maybe try a new book instead of reading Harry Potter for the 7th time...
Thank you ppl, re reading was much required !
I was actually just thinking about this last week!! YES! I'm so excited! Great job guys!!
Thanks for adding this feature. Much appreciated.
Awesome news--I just wish this feature had been added last year, when I started rereading some of my favorites--meaning I lost credit for completing previous years' challenges. Oh well.
Thank you so much. I have been wanting this feature for years. I reread a lot, so I'm thrilled about this.
This is awesome! There are at least 3 series that I reread over and over, so this is going to be great for my records.
