I love re-reading Harry Potter and Graceling, and Anything written by Gail Carson Levine
:D and yet i still haven't been able to buy it! i love gail carson levine. ^^
Funny thing is I lost my copy of Ella Enchanted when I moved a couple years ago and I only read Graceling cause I bought it as someone's birthday present and decide to read it before I gave it to them. Whenever I see that person I borrow and read that book.
Aw. that sucks. i've just checked it out of the library a billion and one times.
i want to read graceling. my friends has it and i've been meaning to borrow it too.

Yep I've been meaning to buy it back for a while now. And when I borrow books from my friends or vice versa things get confused. Once I went to my friends house and saw my book on her shelf and I was like "hey isn't that mine?" and she said "oh I thought u gave it to me!" SHE'D MOVED TO ANOTHER STATE!
lol XD Well, i only really borrow from one friends a lot and she tends to not borrow from me so i'm ok. :D
Lol. We have no idea who's books are really whose. The worst part is we all own a lot of the same books so I might end up with so and so's copy with the alternate ending she's pasted in.
lol alternate ending? niiiiice. we just whine about to book to each other or torture one another with book secrets.
Lol we do that to but one of my friend claire didn't own the book Rumors
and she was really unhappy with the ending. I didn't really care cause my favorite character was someone totally different. So she asked to borrow my copy and I thought "oh she hasn't rd it yet. sure u can" i get it back 2 weeks later with an alternate ending paper clipped in that has ninjas and unicorns in it!
lol ninjas and unicorns??? sounds like me and my friends. :D
Oh yes. This is totally unrelated to the topic but on my first day on facebook i got into an EPIC fight about ninjas versus pufferfish.But back to the actual topic. I've also re-read Paper Towns
by John Green too many times to count. John Green is a crazy genius! All good writers are crazy in my opinion!

Favorite re-reads: Hacking Harvard- Robin Wasserman (I've read it at least 12 times), In the Forests of the Night- Amelia Atwater Rhodes (Can't remember how many times I've read it), The Princess Diaries series- Meg Cabot (re-read the whole series each time a new book was published), Harper Hall trilogy- Anne McCaffrey (one of my all-time faves), Midnighters- Scott Westerfeld. I doubt that's all of my re-reads, but I can't think of any others at the moment. ^_^
I love reading the Harry Potter series over and over and then watching the movies again and again.
Omg I've watched them to the point where I can quote everything! When I get depressed I re-read Paper Towns because John Green makes life so interesting
Hmm looks interesting Gorfo, gonna add it to my list.
Oh cool Jozi! Yet another reminder to read the hunger games....and yes it's probably one of the best light hearted but somewhat revealing books you'll ever read! John Green knows how to mix serious and funny! But mostly funny! Nerdfighters rule!
Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles. God I love that book!
You know somebody else told me that that was a great book! I should really look into reading that! Is it by Simon Elkeles?
Outlander books, Charlaine Harris Sookie books, Lisa Kleypas Wallflower and Hathaway books.
i always read the harry potter series once every year since i got the books
That's a good tradition! I should try that. I haven't read the whole series, consecutively for quite some time
Things Not Seen - Andrew Clements I had to read this more than once! Also, Things Hoped for and Things That Are.
I've read Harry Potters over and over or just parts of them over and over. I've read Magyk…5 times now? I reread the whole series when Queste came out, and a few of them again when Syren came out. Some short books I just pull off my shelf and read for fun and a quick book.
I love re reading Harry potter and that's all really :-)
I feel the same way about the book Heads or Tails? Gemini's Don't Choose. I've read it five times already.
oh, also the Percy Jackson series is pretty awesome to read & re-read. i love it cuz it got action & sense of humor in it.

I could go on forever... I just love rereading books, I don't know why :D
http://www.amazon.com/The-Keeper-eboo...This is a YA paranormal romance set in durrent day deep south ( no VAMPS). It does have ghosts and angels. It is spooky and exciting and a great love story.
Appropriate for middle school and up.
The Phantom TollboothA Wrinkle in Time
the Georgia Nicolson books
I Capture the Castle
The Perks of Being a Wallflower
and I never, ever get tired of Harry Potter.
There are a few books I can read over and over and never get tired of.The Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher
Overqualified by Joey Comeau
and, of course, The Harry Potter Series.
I am most definitely one of those people who can re-read books. Alanna the Lioness Series by Tamora Pierce over and over again. Such a good series
Harry Potter for sure. Usually in no particular order, mostly whatever I am in the mood for
I have re-read the Hunger Games Series by Suzanne Collins and am thinking about another re-reader
The Dear America Across the Wide and Lonesome Prairie ever since I was a little girl
The Host by Stephanie Meyers (mostly towards the middle past the boring stuff)
And then the Uglies series by Scott WEsterfeld
I read everything i like over and over! :)
The main books I reread are Julie Garwood's PRINCE CHARMING and FOR THE ROSES. I also reread several by Louis L'Amour books, especially FALLON, Amanda Quick/ Jayne Ann Krentz, Nora Roberts, and Jodi Thomas.
I have a bad habit of rereadíng a lot of my favourite books instead of finding new ones..Colleen McCullough's The roman family series is something i always comes back to, Its a historical series about the roman republics last years.
Her take on Ceasar is fascinating, the series starts before Ceasar is born, and the protagonists are the most important men and women on the time, when ceasar is born you follow him, first as a child prodigy, then as a coming-man politically, as a soldier and a general in war, and at last as a dictator in rome.
Is a quite comprehensive series, but worth every second of the time it takes to read..
I recommend it highly if you have any interest in the roman republic, or history in general..
Then of course i also often returns to the last 4 Harry Potter books, they are perfect for a familiar unchallenging mind-escape :P
Truly Madly Deeply. It brings out a new angle in the story every time I set my eyes on it. Touching story!Truly, Madly, Deeply.
freak the mighty. bit i dont usually read books over and over again. i like that one moment in reading a book
I'm afraid I am also a serial Harry Potter reader. I've read the whole series several times, and I'm doing it again in honor of the movies. But, when I was younger, I was borderline obsessed. Funny thing was that the book I'd read the most is the one people usually don't really like, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. When I was about seven-eight years old, still waiting for the translation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and with way too much free time, I read it about 27 times. Seriously.

Every other year or so I re-read Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass.
I've read Harry Potter so many times I have lost my count. :DThen I have read Paul Street Boys and Bitten (as well as other books from this series - although not as much as Bitten) numerous times.
And then, of course, Trudi Canavan's books.
Atm I am trying to fight against reading Vampire Academy over again since I just read it the first time and am afraid that if I remember everything all too well, I might not enjoy it as much as I did the first time.
i have read "silent honor by danielle steel".. now am planning to read again books like Jane Eyre, little women.
I've grown up reading and rereading the books by Michael Ende, especially Jim Button and Luke the Engine Driver and the Neverending Story. I still read them very, very often. Also, I've been reading Paul Auster's Oracle Night about every two years since I first stumbled over it, as well as Enchanted April by Elizabeth von Arnim (which I'm planning on rereading as soon as spring has come). And I've read the Harry-Potter-series quite often, too. When I first learned Spanish I ploughed my way through the first installment, which actually worked quite well, as I knew it alomst by heart.
Yeah! Love to re-read a lot of the books I have!! But sometimes when I go to the bookstore I wish I could buy them again! Jejeje...new book, new begining! ;-)
I've read each harry potter book at least six times. and I love the great and terrible beauty trilogy by libba bray as well. and as much as it pains me to say this my copy of twilight is pretty battered and abused from reading.
but the book I re-read most often is the bell jar.
