Musing Mondays (May 11)

Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about rereading…

Have you ever finished a book, then turned around and immediately re-read it? Why? What book(s)? (question courtesy of MizB)

PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Musing Mondays post, or share your opinion in a comment here (if you don’t have a blog). Thanks.

EDIT: It's clearly not a question about boys and reading. I forgot to change it. *sigh* I'm hopeless.

I don’t think I’ve ever actually done this, though there are books that I could understand the sentiment for. Off the top of my head I’m thinking of

• The Book Thief - Markus Zusak
• The Invention of Hugo Cabret – Brian Selznick (actually did reread this one)
• Song of the Sparrow - Lisa Ann Sandell
• My Sister’s Keeper – Jodi Picoult
• The Time Traveller’s Wife - Audrey Niffenegger
• Anne of Green Gables – L.M. Montgomery
• Looking for Alaska – John Green

Okay that’s probably far too many for an off-the-top list.

Thinking about them these are all books that I’ve either absolutely loved the characters or loved the way they’ve been told – both in some cases, and a lot of them are on my all time favourite list (The Time Traveller’s Wife, My Sister’s Keeper, Anne of Green Gables).

Though I don’t immediately reread them (my pile of books yet to be read is often far to big to allow this) I do usually skim back through them and reread all the bits that I loved.
