Hi everyone, here's my list of 12 Faves in 12 Months in order:

Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls
Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card
My Name is Asher Lev by Chaim Potok
Absalom, Absalom by William Faulkner
Beach Music by Pat Conroy

Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
The Secret History by Donna Tartt
The End of the Affair by Graham Greene
Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell
The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz

I know I shouldn't be surprised how heavy it is on dead white men (that is what we're all raised reading, mostly) but I still hate that. Definitely a reminder of how differently I read now!

2. Magyk, by Angie Sage
3. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, by CS Lewis
4. Inkheart, by Cornelia Funke

11. The Secret Life of Bees, by Sue Monk Kidd
12. The Ocean at the End of the Lane, by Neil Gaiman

[Lindsey]

I only picked nine books instead of twelve. In part because several of my retro reads are rather massive tomes that could take me a while to get through. In addition to the fact that I have an extensive TBR that really needs to be whittled down some what. My list is as follows:

1. Heidi by Johanna Spyri
2. Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson
3. The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield
4. The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova
5. The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
6. Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin
7. Blindness by Jose Saramago
8. Bleakhouse by Charles Dickens
9. London by Edward Rutherford

[Krista]

Trying to figure out what books I want to reread in 2017 started out easy but became increasingly more difficult.

1. The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster
2. A Game of Thrones by George R R Martin (GRRM hereafter)
3. A Clash of Kings by GRRM
4. A Storm of Swords by GRRM
5. A Feast of Crows by GRRM
6. A Dance of Dragons by GRRM
7. The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
8. Scar Night by Alan Campbell
9. Through Wolf's Eyes by Jane Lindskold
10. 1984 by George Orwell

I must admit, most of my rereads were influenced by books on my TBR shelf or in anticipation of a new book being released in a favorite series. Only books listed at #1, #7, and #10 were selected just for the pure pleasure of rereading an old favorite.

[[deleted user]]

I'm finding that most of these books I read during an intense personal time for me so while I remember the impact these books had on me, I don't remember why or many of the specifics, so I'm excited to re-read. There are also a couple on this list that I remember reading as a teen/young adult I'm excited to read as an adult.

[Am]

I only picked eight because by I'm also doing another reading challenge and because I want to tackle some of the books in my tbr pile. Though I might change some of the books listed or add more later.

I will try to re-read some titles this year. I don’t typically like to reread things because I love trying to figure out a story in advance and I don’t like the déjà vu feeling that comes from reading what I read before.

Most of these books are from my childhood and I am curious how my nostalgia bias will hold up:

Island of the Aunts by Eva Ibbotson
The Neverending Story by Michael Ende (will be counting in my Read Harder 2017 Challenge)
Dragonsong by Anne McCaffrey
Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell (I hated the book when I read it as a kid. I want to see if reading it as an adult would change my perception)
Inkheart by Cornelia Funke
The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas (Could not finish it as a kid and it ruined my perfect Reading Test Scores. I will finish it this time.)
The White Queen by Philippa Gregory
American Gods by Neil Gaiman

Maybe re-read some loved series:

His Dark Materials by Phillip Pullman (All three. Especially when there are talks to bring it to the small screen.)
A Series of Unfortunate Events Box: The Complete Wreckby Lemony Snicket (Will try to re-read a few. I am excited about the Netflix adaptation)
The Pendragon Series (starting with The Merchant of Death) by D J MacHale would be great to also re-read again.

These would be what I wouldn't mind retackling immediately. My mind may change throughout the coming year.

[Rebecca]

In no particular order:

1. Alanna: The First Adventure by Tamora Pierce (and possibly the rest of the series)
2. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
3. Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen
4. Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
5. Inkheart by Cornelia Funke
6. Sabriel by Garth Nix
7. The Secret History by Donna Tartt
8. Wild Magic by Tamora Pierce (also possibly the rest of the series)
9. A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray
10. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling
11. TBD
12. TBD

Picking the first 10 was easy, but I had a hard time settling on the last 2. So I decided to allow myself 2 “open” picks to decide on later :) I'll most likely do a reread of A Game of Thrones later in the year, especially if a release date for the 6th book is announced!
