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:

What a timeous announcement! I just finished the audiobook of a kindle book I read last year and was wondering how to log that! Thank you very much.

Thank you so much for your efforts. I've been wanting that option for so long!
So awesome thanks, since I re-read books and glad that I can make them count for my yearly book count.
I'm so happy about this! Now I can reread all I want and count it towards my reading challenge! I was really upset about not being able to do it last year! Thank you so much!!
Yay!!!!!! This makes me so unbelievably happy!!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
OMG! this is so exciting!! Thank you Goodreads!!! <3
Although I would consider rereads added to my yearly challenge as cheating, however, I do include them after my challenge is over and I love the feature.
Nice, that was clearly missing, that's great to see you can even improve.
Thank You!!!Now I can get rid of some "false versions" on my shelf!! ;-)
Fantastic! No wonder it took so long if you decided to go all out and add even more than we were hoping for. My thanks to the programmers and much love to the poor customer services people for putting up with all the asking for it over the years.
THANK YOU so much! This is the only major complaint I've had about Goodreads.(Also, don't mind me, I'll just be over here fixing every book I've reread in the past 10 years...)
Absolutely excellent news.My daughter will be old enough to read books with me soon, and now I'll be able to track the times we read my old favourites together.
Thank you!
Thank you so much this news has made my day!
This is awesome, Thank you so much, I love rereading and like to be able to add it to my challenge.
Thank you so much! It is really going to help my Harry Potter obsession!
At a time when we all should be re-reading "1984", this is a welcome feature. 8-)
Hurrah! Gla this finally happened. One of the things I missed about Shelfari
Thanks a lot. I needed this feature so desperately.
Thank you so much, Goodreads!! This is absoulutely supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! :D <3

:O Era una delle cose che più mancavano!
Grazie!!!!!! ^^
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm queen of rereading!
aaah!! All my private notes on reread books are gone! I noted the dates in the private notes box and now it's all gone!!
YEESSSSS!!!! Finally!!!! Now Archer's Voice by Mia Sheridan will appear on my reading list twice every year!!!!! Thank you, Goodreads!!!
Thank you!!! I've been waiting for something like this for ages!Will it also be available on the app at some point too?
Yay (happy dance). I only reread 1 book last year because of not being able to record it as a reread. Now I can reread anything I want, anytime. Thank you. :)
Oh thank you very much. I missed this feature a lot, cause I keep rereading Ashley Capes' books up and down!

For example, to have 1 star for a 2008 read and 2 stars for a 2010 read, w..."I usually just edit my current review. I put line separator add my read dates and comments for the multiple reads when i have new comments.
