Long time obsessive reads:The Eyre Affair - Jasper Fforde - I've read it almost every year since my first read in 2008 (not the entire series though, just this first book)
The Cry of The IceMark - Stuart Hill - first read was probably 15yrs ago and I still like going back to the entire series for a re-read
New Obsessive Read:
The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells - read the first book last year and I've re-read the series 3x now (minus the newest book - on my first read for it), and I've listened to the audiobooks a ridiculous amount of times now. It's definitely a comfort read/listen at this point.
The His Dark Materials series (by Phillip Pullman) I've always wanted a daemon and have filled in just about every daemon quiz on the internet.
There are several books/series I tend to reread almost every year:Thursday Next series by Jasper Fforde
Murderbot series by Martha Wells
Will Trent series by Karin Slaughter
Harry Potter
Hobbit/LotR
Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs
Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews
Hidden Legacy series by Ilona Andrews
Rock Chick series by Kristen Ashley
Harry Dresden series by Jim Butcher
In Death series by JD Robb
❤️To Kill a Mockingbird❤️
Matt Hai’s A Midnight LibraryPaolo Coehlo’s The Alchemist
Neal Shusterman’s Unwind Dystology, to name a few!
Currently rereading the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins 😩🤌🏽
I used to reread Harry potter obsessively but 🖕🏽terfs, not anymore
American Gods by Neil Gaiman is a comfort book for me. I pick it up to reread when I'm sick or in-between books.
The Bible definitely good answer
Harry Potter series...just finished my 5th reread this year of it, also Where the Heart Is by Billie Letts I've reread that one like 3-4times
Mhm well there’s a children’s book series I absolutely raved as a kid , it’s called Martine. I read it all day every day and even went to sleep past midnight as an 8 year old so believe me when I say that I had no phone and just my books and me and I shamelessly relished all my time reading..there’s also Harry Potter than I read in both English and French countless times as a child/teen. Now in my 20s I read fantasy books religiously yet it’s not the same as those days..
I love the Belgariad by David Eddings (5 books). Must be on my 50th re-read. The Riddlemaster of Hed by Patricia McKillip (trilogy) is a close second.
The Myth Series by Robert Aspirin. 11/22/63
The Girl Who Drank the Moon
Harry Potter
Midnight Library by Matt Haig.

yes the hobbit!!!!!! really good.
Not obsessively, but every once in a blue moon I pick up George Eliot's Middlemarch again. Over the years my perspective has of course shifted, and I see how she's been two steps ahead of me the entire time. I used to mourn over mistakes made by the characters, but now I laugh with her over society's foibles. Love me some Middlemarch!
I've read The Three Musketeers as a child at least 20 times. It was my first summer holiday read and I often picked it up randomly throughout the year.
the star crossed series by Rachel Higginson, Splintered Series by A.G. Howard, Bloodlines by Richelle Mead and The Rockton series by Kelley Armstrong are among a few I've read more than 3 times.
I reread the In Legend Born series by Laura Resnick every year from middle school to graduation. Now I'm down to every few years, but it's still one of my favorites
Prey by Michael Chriton. I just read it again last night love it I've read this book like 10 times. its my favorite Audible book.
“If We Were Villains” by M. L. Rio. The obsessive nature of the characters, how they’re obsessed with art as much as they’re ALL obsessed with each other just makes the book endlessly reread-able.
I own two copies and I keep meaning to annotate one, but I just get so enthralled reading it seems wrong to interrupt with a highlighter or sticky note.

Wow, that is impressive.

Watched it...and it was probably ten years before l could gather the courage to take a bath...lol.
Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, and Walden are the only books l've read more than once. There are a few that my mind entertains, but l give my books to my two boys and usually never see them again (the books).
Almost the whole of Graham Greene's bibliography - his novels, short stories, travelogues, film reviews, literary essays and even his memoirs. Have to start work again on his brilliant plays though. Apart from him, Stevenson's 'Doctor Jeykill and Mr. Hyde', Hector Hugh Munro's short stories and 'The Importance of Being Earnest', to name a few.
I love Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and have always wanted to read more Stevenson because of it but I'm not sure where to start. But it's impressive how well that book holds up.I need to read more Graham Greene!
Mrs. Funnybones by Twinkle Khanna....I usually don't reread books but this one I always reread and enjoy every time. Also, all Ruskin Bond books are perfect comfort books
A book I obsessively read (at least certain scenes) is It’s Not Summer Without You by Jenny Han. Love the anti-Conrad energy :)
