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:

Thank you sooooo much.

Hurray! My favourite books. which I've read at least 8 times, were Anya, by Susan Fromberg Schaeffer, and The Stand, by Stephen King. I've reread many, but these are my 2 favourites. This is great. Thanks Goodreads!
This month started horribly. But, THANK YOU GOODREADS! Maybe 2017 won't be a dumpster fire after all. Anything is possible.
And then there were none by Agatha Christie. Just finished re-reading it. Eventhough I knew what was going to happen still going through it again was a treat.
Finally!! I can't wait to use this new feature!! :)
finally!!! thank you so much ... i will start rereading my classics
Yay! I reread my favourite series' at least once a year so it's really nice to finally have this feature. Thank you thank you thank you....
I love re reading Jane Austin and other classics!
I can't wait to try this out. Since I use years (i.e., 2015, 2016, etc.) for some of my bookshelves, any book I reread will just appear on multiple shelves. However, I wouldn't get double credit if I'd read the book twice in the same year, so I'm happy for this new feature.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! Thank you Goodreads!!! This feature rocks :D
Does anyone know if we can search our bookshelves by books listed as having more than one read date? (ie. to sort our read lists by how many times we've re-read the books? I'd like to input dates into the ones automatically tracked...)
Thank you Goodreads :D I'll feel less guilty about rereads now!
Wow-I really like this!I have my favorites that I read over and over-Little Women, A Wrinkle in Time, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy are the ones I can think of right now.
Thanks so much goodreads. Now I can reread my favourites without falling out on the challenge. <3
"That's why we're rolling out rereading in stages. So, if you're not seeing it yet, you will soon!"So, in which wave is Germany? And is soon next week or next month? Because I am on Goodreads every day and I don't want to check every day if I have the feature.
Thanks...
We really needed this. Thank you Goodreads.
That is cool and good to know. I don't do it a lot. But, enough.
You just made my morning! Thank you Goodreads! <3
Yayy, this makes me so happy. Thank you Goodreads! :)
I'm not being overly dramatic when I say, this has made my day!

My book count is going to go way up now in my Reading Challenge XD My rereading ends up trumping my new reading! It's terrible but fantastic! LONG LIVE REREADS!
THANK YOU...THANK YOU...THANK YOU,IT'S A SUPERB NEWS
Thank you!! At last!! I reread a LOT so this makes my day!
Applause to Goodreads for including the feature we wanted for so long. Thank you.
Random Doubling of Read Times Is Here! Let's Say It Again. Random Doubling of Read Times Is Here! Check your challenge books. Three of mine (all first-time reads) doubled yesterday.
Since when did Goodreads not have this feature? I was able to reread before.
My biggest dream came true :)This is really awesome!
This is the best news ever! Thank you so much Goodreads! And it's perfect timing because I am going to be rereading a ton of books this year! Whoo! Thank you so much for all the work you guys have put into this! I appreciate it! :)
And finally the feature is here!!! Thank you Goodreads :)
Uh oh, now we're really gonna be able to see how many times I listen to Hitchhiker's Guide
