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:

Fantastic update! Thanks so much, Goodreads!

Thank you, Goodreads :) I hated feeling like re-reading a favorite book was getting me off-track for my challenge but that's not a problem anymore which is great because I've already re-read three books this year.
Finally! Now I don't have to keep a private note with the dates of past reads.Thank you!
Finally! Thank you so much for this new feature.I've read Emma, Pride and Prejudice, The little prince, A doll's house, No exit and The Lord of the Rings like a thousand times each and there was no way to record that on Goodreads until now. Fantastic idea. :D
I just recently finished a book for the second time and I was quite angry it wouldn't count on my 2017 reading challenge. Thank you so much for fixing this little glitch in the soft-ware! Your timing is great!!
this is great! I love rereading books that I already love. I tend to do it in between reading new books.
I have been dying for this feature for years now -- thank you so much for adding it! I appreciate the work it took to do. Thanks for not giving up on it. ^_^
My dreams have finally been realized! This site never fails to please. Thank you!
Yes! And just in time, as I'm about to re-read The Great Gatsby :)
YES!!! Finally! I've been waiting for this for so long!Thank you for a the effort put into making this possible.
Thank you Goodreads!
Apart from the Bible, books i (partly) reread are work-related (law) and for work purposes. I rarely find pleasure rereading. What i do however is flip through books i liked.
Both books of The Stormlight Archives.The great thing about rereading fantasy is the stronger sense you get of the world built by the author, picking up on the finer details painstakingly put in to complete the feel of the land you may have glossed over during your first (or second or hell, third reread, I'm still picking up things I missed before) and there's very few worlds as fascinating as Roshar.
Thank you so much for this! Now I'll no longer feel guilty when I re-read my favorites.
It was about time ;-)Thank you very much for this new feature.
About the book I've reread more... Pride and Prejudice, of course (7 times for now)!
Wow, I was wondering if one day this feature may find it's way into your system. Kinda love it! Great, thank you!
Thank You. Thank You. A million times Thank You. Now i can really see my yearly reads. Along with i read this in Highschool and im rereding it 20yrs later. Awesom
Question: Is there a way to search all of my books for ones that I've read more than once?
This is a much welcome addition. Thank you goodreads
This makes me believe that is going to be a great year c':
very well, so happy for this thanks a lot @Goodreads
I think there's an error. When I mark a book as "Want to read", than I change the status to "Currently reading" it said I'm reading it for the second time...
