Do you re-read a series in anticipation of the newest book?

[Dream Spinner]

Several times. And then again right after I buy the book.

[hueymom3]

Usually. I read all the Harry Potter books before each new one came out as well as twilight

[MeganebuKris22]

Hmmm I will usually re-read them only if I don't really remember what happened. Mainly I'll read the last couple of books just so I feel all caught up and ready to start the new book in the series. I'm actually going to be re-reading the last couple books of the Nightrunner series by Lynn Flewelling soon because the next book comes out this April. So excited!!! by far one of my favorite series!

If its a series I'm really into I always go back and reread. Especially if its a mystery/thriller series that ended with questions. Tho it frustrates me when I take the time to reread and then the new book is 20% rehashing of the first books.

[Jolijt]

Everytime I tell myself not to read a series until it's finished. But I'm too curious
So most of the time I read the first installment to see if I like it... then wait till the series is complete and then read all the installments.

[GabrielleAlcime]

Never, I would most likely not start the series until its completed

[Bailers77]

Of course. Books at the beginning of the series I can read up to six times before the author is done with the whole story.

I have sometimes gone back and read the books before the new release. I have even found myself re-reading the books before the film release for example I read all the Harry potter books again before each film was released

[sophiachic]

Yes i do, its very exciting to re-read books when a new book is due to come out.

[Kiki7138]

I usually do re-read before the next book comes out and also before the movie comes out

[M-Allmon]

Like a few of the other people I'm also doing that with the Divergent series. I read the other books so long ago I feel like I wouldn't appreciate the third book as much if I didn't go back and refresh my memory on the other books.

[sophiachic]

I agree! Sometimes its just something i have to do when i know a new book is due i will go and read the series again.

I don't enjoy rereading books because the enjoyment is lost when you know the outcome. I try to wait until the series is completed before I start reading it, although that is not always possible.

[BeccaCaley]

I always do this! I feel like even though I know the story I have to re-read the books to get my mind back in that world! I also done that with Divergent waiting for Allegiant! I sometimes do it before I see a film to, so I know in April the Vampire Academy film comes out in the UK so ill read the series again before I go to see it, I just like to read it to see how different the book to the film is!

[sophiachic]

I do indeed, you just have to in some cases to refresh the story.
