Oh, and why? I guess I like the feel of the story. I know how it goes and ends but I love the journey it takes me to get there.

I also read Mackenzie's Mountain a lot. I miss doing all that rereading, as much as I enjoy reading books for the first time.
Into the Wilderness, I have read this series, five or six times. They are big books and the glue on the spines of most of them have full sections falling out.I am with you Lady Danielle, I have read most of my Johanna Lindsey books so many times they are falling apart too. Especially all the Malory Books.
All these books are still really enjoyable and with the Into the wilderness series, I always pick up new things every time I read them.

That is a hard question. Here are the books in the running:Black Jewel Trilogy by Anne Bishop
Rendezvouz by Amanda Quick
Shades of Twilight by Linda Howard
Pride and Prejudice by Austen
Any of Julie Garwood's historicals--I don't think I need to explain why :)Silent in the Grave--Deanna Raybourn
A Perfect Bride--Samantha James
The Secret Pearl--Mary Balogh
Linda Howard and J.D.Robb's book. Hard to list the titles since I can re-read 5 times or more (and my TBR getting higher and higher)
A Rose in Winter - KWJohanna Lindsey - historicals mostly Malory series
Sky O'Malley series - BS
BDB Series
ALl of Kristen Ashley!
maybe to many to mention :)
My most read book is probably "Pride and Prejudice". Love the story and the characters. Jane Austen is one of my fav's.
by Beverly Jenkins This book is such a good historical romance about the underground railroad.
by Savannah J. Frierson This is another great romance set in a small town.
This is an intense romance about a rekindled relationship and a secret child.
These novels by Pepper Pace are soooooo awesome books that I can't stop reading them over and over again!!!

I seem to read the Lord of the Rings trilogy every couple of years, and have been for almost twenty years. Other books I usually just re-read my favourite parts. If I am ever feeling really down, re-reading a favourite can lift my spirits like nothing else.

I have little bits of paper sticking out of all my favourites. It's embarrassing to have people see my shelves.
Karen Marie Moning's highlander series. I discovered them when i was about 16 and the definately jumpstarted my romance addiction! I used to reread them monthly because I was too nervous to go back to barnes and noble to buy more romance novels! :) Thank goodness we now have ebooks!!!

Not sure which one wins....but maybe some of these:
I still re-read these when I am stressed.
There's something about each one of these books that has had me read and reread them numerous times.
Among the multitudes of comical historical romances, I always come back to this one, perhaps, because the plot is both ridiculous AND sweet while the main characters are distinct and well drawn.
Dominick is a wonderful anti-hero; dark and dangerous while hiding a very scared boy afraid of love within. I also like the fact that NONE of the characters are perfect.
A blind warrior and a scarred woman make for one of the sweetest books about courage and hope.
I first read this book in the 6th grade and I love it as much now as I did then. The love/hate, murderer/innocent and manipulation storyline never tires me. I've not just read this multiple times but can reread again twice in a row.
I've always liked the mystery in this book and that there were many plot twists that still manage to seem fresh even after several rereads.
This is my go-to bodice ripper. While many seem to find the heroine annoying, I think she acts rather realistically in many parts.
I am enamored with the switching viewpoints in this book. I also find it to be as highly original today as it was when it was written.

Heather, I've been meaning to reread Nightfall again.
Probally any Julie Garwood book like The Bride, Saving Grace, The Secret. Had to replace these books I had read them so long ago and have read them so many times. ALso, some of Linda Howard's books, Son of the Morning, All the Queen's men, I read those years and years ago and had to replace them.
JOHANNA LINDSEY is by far the most re-read author by me. Love any and every book she has written. After her, 'Kingdom of Dreams' by Judith Mcnaught is my Most re-read book ! I adore how the hero's love in the end conquers the heroine's pride and dislike for him and she kneels down (literally in front of viewers of two countries and a King) to this love he bore for her.

I'm currently rereading The GhostWalker series by Christine Feehan. I see me doing a reread in the not so far future again. That's how much I love this series.
In the fall, I will probably start a reread of the Immortals After Dark series by Kresley Cole.

I really need to finish the IAD series Lady D...I got up to book 5. Maybe I will read with you when you get to book #5 Dark Desires After Dusk so keep me in mind when you start ;)
Hmmm the books I have read the most times are Dark Lover because I love Wrath, After the Night excellent story and great H&H, Raphael well because of Raphael, Open Season again because I love the H&H, and lots of Diana Palmer Long, Tall, Texan books!!
I feel no same in admitting that it is Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I super loved that book!!!And this one I feel a little shame (ok, a lot of shame) in admitting to: Lora Leigh's “Maverick”. I really don't like her books very much they are all pretty much exactly the same story line with different names. But for some deranged reason I loved this book.
On a side note: an awesome thread would be books that you love, but are ashamed to admit to.

I really liked LL's "Maverick" too Teresa and that would be a great thread!!

Dorsey, I will let you know about the IAD reread. Maybe even set up a thread on the group for it.
Here's the thread you asked for.

Okay, I have to admit that I read Defiant 4 times before it was even published. *sigh* Yes, it was that good.A book that crosses the age spectrum... Shel Silverstein's The Giving Tree is one I've read so many times I lost count. Seriously.

Awesome Lady D!! On the thread and the IAD read.
