Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl
This week’s prompt: Books I’d Like to Re-read (Share either your favorite books that you enjoy re-reading or books that you’d like to read again!)
What a fun topic! I have mentioned my first one on here millions of times, so I will start with that one then move on.
Watership Down is my yearly re-read. It is my favorite book of all time.
Next, I re-read Barbara Michael’s books all the time. These are the books by Michaels that I could read just over and over again. And I have. My copies are very ragged and worn.
Be Buried in the Rain || The Dancing Floor || Stitches in Time || Ammie, Come Home || Wait for What Will Come
I also will re-read Mary Stewart. I think I have some sort of vintage type vibe going when I re-read, with all these sort of older books.
Thornyhold || Nine Coaches Waiting
Both Michaels and Stewart’s books are very much of their time, so if you read them, be aware of that.
Little Women || The Westing Game
And my final two, Little Women and The Westing Game. I mean, Little Women is such a classic and I have just always loved it. The Westing Game – I honestly don’t know why I read it so much! Lol. I just really enjoy it, every time. I guess that is my answer. I like it.
I can’t wait to see what everyone else has posted today!
Still Life, With Cracker Crumbs.. 
I’m glad I’m not the only rereader out there! These look like some great comfort reads.

These are interesting choices. There are only a handful of books I reread. Wuthering Heights is probably the one I’ve read the most.

Funny story- I re-read Little Women a year or two ago and disliked it so much more than the first time. 😀 It’s what scares me about re-reading books!! lol

Oh no!!! I find that when I re-read some books, my perspective on different characters has changed. Like I might have liked Meg when I was younger, but when I got older I saw her flaws more. It’s interesting to see how things change!

I read the Barbara Michaels and Mary Stewart books probably in high school and early 20s and they are just such comfort books. And Watership Down is amazing.

I love a reread, a lot of what I read this year are old favourites! I think I forced myself through Watership down as a child/teen and just remember that I hated it… I wonder if my adult brain could appreciate it more!

And I think Watership Down is sort of like that, you either love it or hate it!

Little Women is such a great one for rereading! I even mixed in an audio reread/listen several years back, and it was almost like discovering a new story to hear it versus just reading in my head 🙂
I will forever reread the Anne of Green Gables books (as well as other Montgomery novels), Jane Austen, Sarah J Maas’s ACOTAR series – though I plan to reread the Throne of Glass series too. Marguerite Henry is another one good for rereading, and the Little House books — basically if I read it early on in life, and it somehow helped shape me, I will return over and over again ❤

Ooo I never considered listening to it!
I have not reread Marguerite Henry’s books – I read them as a kid and then that was it. However, Little House…. I still reread them every year! And I am discovering all of the L.M. Montgomery books now as an adult. and I am enjoying this journey.
I think I am like that too. If it was a book that shaped me, I will return to it. But I think there are some that I can’t return to, that I think as an adult would just be too emotional. Mostly all the Pat Conroy books, I read those in high school and while I still sobbed, I think they would affect me even deeper as an adult. The books I loved as a child – Little House, Harriet the Spy, Emily’s Runaway Imagination, and you know what, I think this is turning into a post!

You already know I love Watership Down.
I have never read books by “Barbara Michaels”, but I have a whole bunch of “Elizabeth Peters”, the whole Amelia Peabody series and Jacqueline Kirby and some others and I love them. I have already put her Michaels books on a list a while ago to see if I can find some affordable ones here easily. Would you recommend one to start with?
I have read Mary Stewart, but they were from the library, so it has been ages. The only ones I have myself and absolutely love is the Merlin trilogy.

Watership Down is my go to, I just love it.
I have never read the Elizabeth Peters books and I know so many people have! I really should try those. And hmm. My favorite Barbara Michaels are the ones I listed above. I like the supernatural aspects of those books. Maybe The Dancing Floor? There are some trigger warnings though, if you are a person who would like to know those.
I have not read the Merlin trilogy!

Barbara Micheals is always an author I will reread and there are a number of books I have reread a ridiculous number of times. My favorites are Vanish with the Rose, Ammie Come Home, Shattered Silk, and House of Many Shadows though there are bunch of others that are a close second. I just bought Dancing Floor so I can’t wait to read that. I read it years ago but haven’t read in in ages. The Westing Game was a favorite and I was so pleased to see it held up when I reread it a few years ago.

Yes!!! I love that how Georgetown series by her. I think I have only read Vanish with the Rose one time, I read that one again. I think I have a copy in my collection.
The Westing Game is such a cool book. I can’t wait for Wyatt to be ready for it!
