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
This is great!!! Thank you so much for adding this feature. So incredibly useful!
*shrieks excitedly* THANK YOU!!!! I haven't reread any books yet since starting my account a Nov 2015, but I've been seriously dreading how I would handle that when I did. Thank you so much!!
I re-read a book in January that I read last year, and now I notice that my Goodreads challenge is a book higher than it should be, so I assume it's counting that book as read twice for this year even though last years' read has the dates/year read.I had used the "use a different edition" method to make it count in January..
Does anyone know if I can fix this?
I'm still happy to have this update! I just feel I could fix this somehow i'm missing but don't want to mess it up
Edit: Well I got rid of the edition I didn't actually read and added the second time I read it to the actual edition I re-read...and it's still counting it twice. Looks like i'll just be upping my GR challenge goal for each re-read, but still glad they can count now without worrying about running out of editions! ^_^
Thank you, than you, than you, than you!Oh, finally it is here. The best day ever!
Yay! I'm so glad that I can now add rereads on goodreads. :)
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I literally squealed with joy when I read this. Goodreads is so amazing, and this was the one thing I wished was different about this site.
YEAH! I'm so very excited for this! Can't wait to try it out.
I was just lamenting this yesterday as a book I reread did not show up in my challenge count. Thank-you!
THis is so awesome!! Thank you for adding this!
OMG!! PRIDE AND PREJUDICE HERE I COME (AGAIN)!!!!! THANK YOU!
Thank you! One of the aspects which was in need to improve it's already accomplished. Well done!
Tolkien's Lord of the Rings (probably 4X) - I still have my dog-eared copy of the whole series. Also Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird; Grahame's Wind in the Willows; Erdrich's Love Medicine and Ondaatje's The English Patient. I do not reread often. I'm sure I will reread the Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan Series.
Finally! Thanks so much!
Thank you so much Goodreads! I have wanted this sense I realized that when I reread a book, it nolonger counted for previos year's challenges. Again, thank you so much.
Thank you very much, Goodreads! So excited to start using this feature! :)
So far, I've read "Pride and Prejudice" ten times!!! I'm so excited for this feature!!!!!!!
wow it good for someone that reread but for me i have too many book i want to read no time for reread no way
Thank you programmers. Thank you. You made me smile. I already have re-reads this year from series I am going back and reading in order. Thank you for helping me keep track. This will help me promote use of Goodreads. I will make sure they know at the local library next time I volunteer. Maybe it can be added to their poster promoting Goodreads.
YASSSSS!!!!!!! so happy that re-reads counts towards goals now!
Yes!! Finally!! Thank you so much for all your hard work, Goodreads Team!
Been wanting this for years! Wish this had existed in the past, so I could count books I've reread for my Reading Challenge. :/
It's about time! I'm so upset they didn't give us this feature sooner!
Jumped out of my sofa when I read the heading on the landing page.Thanks.
YAYAYAY! The only other thing I REALLY want after this is Sub Folders in Groups!
This is a wonderful new feature! Thank you so much for adding it!
This is good news indeed! Thank you Goodreads! <3
Damn - I had just figured out a book-recording system I like without the reread option. Should not have given up on hope yet, apparently!Well, what better way to spend a weekend than going through (virtual) bookshelves...
So excited about this improvement! I love to re-read Austen and am excited to easily track when and how often I do.
Will there be more sorting options in the My Books section? Like date: first read? I'm not sure I like how only the most recent dates are visible/sortable on the shelf...
Oh my god, yes! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
This is awesome!! Thank you so much for implementing this Goodreads team :)
