Harry Potter books are such an easy reread. I found myself wanted to reread the mistborn series. If you haven’t heard of it, check it out. The magic in this series is unique and the plot has unexpected twists.

I have reread this book numerous time over the last 60 years, and I don't know how many times my Mother reread. She received this book in 1938 on her twelfth Christmas from her Mom and Dad. I am unable to recall how old I was when I first read. Reading your topic this book quickly came to mind. Now to see if I could read the book. It is an old book and well used. The cover is spotted, and the binding is coming loose with the pages turning yellow, but I could just as easily read it now as I did the first time. The book is Heid Grow Up by Charles Tritten Johanna Spyri's Translator. Published by Grosset & Dunlap, New York. Copyright 1938. This story a sequel to Heidi was written by Charles Tritten who translated all of her books into French. The Foreword give the reader a glimpse of the life and time of Johanna Spryi. A delightful light story of a young girl, now grown up and a teacher in an Alpine Village, we see life through her eyes. Peter is not forgotten nor Grandfather.

I've reread the Harry Potter series. I loved reading it the first time when I was a kid, and rereading is just as good!

Wuthering heights and Jane Eyre are the two I really enjoy. I've also read the Lord of the rings series a few times since I was a little.

I love this question! P&P has a strong place in my heart like any other Austen nerd.

Last year, tho, I got to talk to a friend about how often he rereads books. Apparently, never. Never??? It astounded me. So 2018 was the year of no rereads! It's a tough challenge but totally one I'd recommend! :techie-reference:

Harry Potter. Especially when I am feeling sad. It takes me back to my high school days and always lifts my mood.

Gone with the wind. For when I have a problem with self confidence. The story of Scarlett o Hara never fails to inspire me while blowing me away with her sheer daring decisions.

Prisoner of birth. Never fails to put a smile on my face.

Harry Potter for sure!

Jane Eyre. Pride and Prejudice. To Kill a Mockingbird.

And although it is a play, I find I often come back to read Arthur Miller's "The Crucible," about once a year.

Calico Palace by Gwen Bristow. I was home from college, visiting my parents and two younger sisters, when I saw it sitting in a box of books that someone had given to my sisters (I come from a family of readers). Neither of the younger girls were interested in reading it and I was on summer break with some time to kill so I figured "Why not? It's a decent sized novel, it'll eat up some time." I got so hooked that I finished it in just a few days (even with a part-time job and other responsibilities). I re-read that first copy so many times that it fell apart and I find another copy on Amazon. It still gets re-read almost once a year. It's just that good.

It's actually a series. I am OBSESSED with Anne Bishops "The Black Jewels." If you like dark fantasy do yourself a favor and pick up these books!

I like to ReRead the little house on the Prairie series. I should try reading mice and men again. It is my favorite by John Steinbeck.
