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:

FINALLY
flag
Thank you for doing this!! It's awesome! And it can't have been easy!
Thank you!!! This is great news! I can't wait to reread something now, just to see it. I've checked a couple of books I know I've reread and it works so well: The Hobbit (4 times), To Kill a Mockingbird (2), The Lord of the Rings (2)...
Yes! This is awesome! I have been hoping for this for long time.
We've been waiting a long time for this. Thanks, goodreads. Kudos and props.
The books I've reread the most have been Harry Potter series and Pride and Prejudice
Ok I like the rereading option as I have reread some of the books but ugh!! I hate to be an old stick in the mud but why did it mark the book I just finished reading as being read twice and why can't I delete it?
THANK YOU GOOREADS, YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!! Thank for your work and effort on this so that I can keep track of my reading and books. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!!!!
You know, I was literally thinking about this this morning because I reread a book and there was no way to show that I reread it and keep it on all of my reading challenges. THIS IS AMAZING THANKS SO MUCH
Best news I've had all week! I may or may not have screamed in joy and scared my poor mom~!
FINALLY!My first and biggest Goodreads wish is answered. Thank you!
Thank you goodreads!!!!! This is my brand new favorite thing! No longer shall I have to mess up my reading challenges moving reading dates! Best thing ever!!!
Wow, definitely a useful feature, thanks for figuring out the mechanics to make it a reality! :D
Yes; now lets work on 1/2 Star ratings!!! LOLbtw, just reread Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone for the 3rd time. :D
Yay!!!!! Thank you!!!! I've wished this was possible since I started doing reading challenges. Love it!!
SO EXCITED!!!! I've been asking for years. Just in time for my year of rereads!!!!Thank you!!!!!
Thank you!! I love to re-read old favorites! Some have been read over 20 times.
I'm pretty sure I sent a request for this a few years ago, so this news makes me so happy. Thanks for listening to all the feedback!
If I thought I couldn't love you more, Goodreads staff, I was sorely mistaken!Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
I was just wishing I could add a re-read book today. This is great!
FINALLY! I'm so glad that GR now has a re-read option, but after adding a few re-read dates to my books just now, I noticed that on my "read" shelf the book appears at its most recently read date instead of the date it was first read. This annoys the hell out of me! But I do love that the repeat reads are now popping up on the challenges! So I guess I can't have it all.
This is such perfect timing for my year challenge of alternating between new books and re-reading my beloved favourites!! Thank you!
Yes, this is so exciting!! Thank you, Goodreads!
OMG I'm so happy about this! THANK YOU GOODREADS. I know you care about your readers :))
Good job. We do re-read, and it was a PITA to go and delete something, just to add it again.
This is redundant of course, but I'm SO glad to have this feature! It sounds like it was fairly difficult to do but thank you for the effort it took you guys! As you can tell by the number of comments, a lot of people really wanted this feature added! It is nice to know you pay attention to our desires!
You guys are amazing! Thank you!Now,,,about half stars on your ratings...still love this and not trying to be greedy! You guys are perfect no matter what!
