Sometimes, I'll come across a review from someone who comments that they reread a certain book every year or that they've read it X number of times. I don't think I've reread a book more than twice, because I keep thinking about all the books I haven't read once, even though I have favorites I want to reread. What book have you reread the most? How many times have you reread it and why is it a favorite?

I've reread Wings of fire and scum villain self saving system numerous times and I'm currently rereading wings of fire. for me it's because I've read both a long time ago and when I want something familiar and simple I like reading them again.
Probably 36 times since 1976: The little Girl who lives down the Lane by Laird Koenig. Because it's so atmospheric. It's my Halloween treat every year. :)
Other than that I've read over and over again Enid Blyton's Famous Five series of books and Adventure series...so much more captivating than Harry Potter and Nancy Drew.
Tales From Watership Down by: Richard Adams, and The Red Tent by: Anita Diamant are probably in my top ten.
Many of my railroad photo albums. I really enjoy looking at vintage photos of railroading!
I rarely re-read a book, but I just re-read Dead Souls by Nikolai Gogol.
The Mandibles by Lionel Shriver. I fear it may be a roadmap of what is to come.
The little prince <3 and some collections of Oscar Wilde's short stories
I don’t think I’ve ever reread a book. I am always so busy trying to finish the books I’ve started. I’ve always wanted to be that person who reads a book everywhere they go but I never find myself getting into reading enough.
I’ve read the first three Harry Potter books 8 times (the series overall, 4).The Hunger Games three times.
I’m currently re-reading The Night Huntress series by Jeaniene Frost (first two books 7 times, series overall 2 but will be three once I finish the re-reads)
The Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews (first 5 books read 4 times, series overall 2)
The Kingmaker and The Rebel King by Kennedy Ryan
I've reread the full Lord of the Rings trilogy at least 8-10 times over the years.
Currently reading The Coincidence of Calllie and Kayden from Jessica Sorensen for the fourth time
Definitely Percy Jackson since I grew up with it
The Hunger Games series and Divergent seriesalso God of Wrath, Honestly, I'm Totally Faking It and The Maddest Obsession
I have reread Macbeth way too many times for both pleasure and for two different years of highschool. I still have Lady Macbeth’s Act 1 Scene 5 speech memorized 😅💖
Crush by Richard Siken. Every time I read it I add new annotations because I find something new and it changes my perspective. I even, sometimes, respond to my old self in the margins. Little discussions and conversations with myself.

I’ve re-read PREY by Michael Criton. (i know I’m spelling his last name wrong) What an awesome read. I totally recommend it
It is probably The Book Of Fear by Zbigniew Nienacki, my fav childhood book. 10+ times readOr it's Clockworck Angel by Cassandra Clare. Jem!!! I think i read it 8 times
Probably Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros or Binding 13 by Chloe Walsh
Gone Girl, no comparison! At least four times.
Stalking Jack the Ripper, The Night Circus, or any of the Nancy Drew series (comfort reads!)
One of my favorite series is called the Belgariad by David Eddings. I don’t reread books very often, but I’ve read these like 4 or 5 times. Definitely set me up to love fantasy.
The Stand by Stephen King. I was fascinated by this book from the first time I read it, back in 1980. I estimate that I've read it 20-25 times.
The Deptford Trilogy by Robertson Davies. Three books Fifth Business, The Manticore, World of Wonders. Three interwoven stories, complex, brilliant. Davies is a Canadian author.
by reason of insanity By Shane Stevens read it twice, very hard too get, but I like too think more about what I have not read yet
Mostly, I reread children's books. First, myself, then for my brother, then for my daughters :)The favorite one was The Moomins and the Great Flood and other books about moomins by Tove Jansson.
I also reread A Hero of Our Time by Michail Lermontov and lots of poetry books.
Dark Horse by Michelle Deiner. Love a great AI book
It's probably the Harry Potter series. Read it several times and still love it.
Court of mist and fury by Saraj mass
"The Sound and the Fury" and "The Code of the Woosters."
I have reread the Harry Potter series and the Twilight Saga so many times. I crave that feeling of reading them for the first time again.
The Prison Healer, Lynn Nont (Noint ?? I forgot!!!)
I can relate! Until now, I’ve never really reread a book, either. There’s much to explore, and every new title feels like a fresh adventure. I know there are classics and beloved favorites that deserve a second read, but with our limited time, I can’t help but dive into the next great story. It constantly balances between revisiting the familiar and discovering the new.
Eline Veere by Louis Couperus ❤️. I read this one at least once every two years.Because of the sad story, because it's so beautifully written. It's one of the greatest books in Dutch literature.
When I was a kid I was obsessed with Watership Down, so that would be up there.
In third grade I reread the Harry potter series 14 times (I was kind of obsessed)
