Read It Again

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

This challenge is all about re-reads!

Do you remember a great book you've been planning to read again, but have never gotten around to it? Want to relive the magic of books read in your childhood?
Think you might like a book better the second time around? Here's your chance! ☺

Rules:
* You decide how many books you will read for which categories.
* Re-reads only.
* Use your sign-up post for your list.
* When you've finished a book, rate & date it.

Duration: 6 months from start date

Levels of Difficulty:
Easy - 10 books
Medium - 15 books
Hard - 20+ books

Categories:
#1 All-Time Favorite: If you had to pick your all-time favorite books, this one would at least make the Top 10!

#2 Childhood Memories: A book you loved when you were a child.

#3 Older and Wiser: You read it, but you think maybe you didn’t quite get it or weren’t able to fully appreciate it at the time. (e.g. a book you had to read for school)

#4 First Love: The first book you read by one of your favorite authors.

#5 It Just Gets Better!: A book you’ve read several times already – and could read again and again.

#6 Friendly Advice: You didn’t really like it all that much when you read it, but your friend/spouse/family member/random person loved it so much you’re willing to give it another shot.

#7 Memory Loss: You know you read it, but what on earth was it about…?

#8 Shadow of a Doubt: A book that left a strong impression on you, either very positive or very negative – but could it really have been *that* great/horrible?

#9 Screen Star: Ever since you saw the movie/TV show, you’ve really been wanting to read this again.

#10 Mint Condition: You acquired a copy of this book after you had already read it, so now there’s a brand-new copy sitting unread on your shelf and gathering dust…

#11 Switch It Up: Re-read a book in a different language than you originally read it in or listen to the audio book this time around.

This challenge will do me in. I try to concentrate on unread books and will have to squeeze the re-reads in-between - but it gives me a perfect excuse to re-read some of those I had on my mind and heart for several weeks/months now. Thank you!
