Books you've obsessively read multiple times

[Rekha O'Sullivan]

Ravishing the Heiress by Sherry Thomas - soooo much angst and longing and beautifully written.

Sherry is my critique partner! My favorite of hers is The Luckiest Lady in London.

A book I try to re-read every year is Lirael by Garth Nix. It's the second in the Old Kingdom series, and I first read it a few years after it came out - I was probably about 12. It instantly became my favourite book and has retained that status for over 20 years and hundreds of books read. I know it like the back of my hand but I still derive so much pleasure from reading it even though I know exactly what's going to happen. Can't recommend it enough! (Though you should read Sabriel firsr or you'll be quite lost.)

@Joy I read Jane Eyre and The Great Gatsby every few years or so. I recently re-read 1984 and A Tree Grows in Brooklyn…I completely agree that great literature ages and grows with you, leaving you with new and even better perspectives/analyses. I

All for the Game -trilogy by Nora Sakavic. I’ve read the books 8 times in less than 2 years. The books are kinda bad so I’m not proud of it but I have an emotional connection to them…

I was going to say, "You read Ulysses when you were eleven! That's impressive." Then I realized it was all one title, not two different books.

Reading is great no matter the difficulty level, though.

There's this psychological observation that people who rereads or rewatches their favorite book or tv series or movies have anxiety. And they reread or rewatch them because they already know whats gonna happen so they are not anxious and can enjoy the story more.
And i like to reread books multiple times 🙃

For me it's more about anticipating the parts I know will be great and wallowing in them when they arrive. I can't explain it better than that. It's just really satisfying to know this amazing thing is about to happen and then see it unfold.

Magi, I too have read “The Wolf and the Dove” by Kathleen Woodiwiss and was 17 at the time. I found the original paperback about 3 years ago. I have about 15 of her books. You may like “The Reluctant Suitor by her. I have read the classics numerous times: Austen’s books, the Brontë sisters’ books, and Edgar Allen Poe’s works. Most recently, I am obsessed with Mafia and Bratva dark romances, so I have reread Mila Kane’s duet Malevolent King and Runaway Queen and Nicole Fox’s Cruel Paradise and Cruel Promise, plus Anna Zaires’ Trilogy Twist Me. Honestly, there are probably 100 books that I have reread, so too numerous to list.
