The book chat is hosted by Sweet Green Tangerine & I Believe in Story The book Chat is a weekly discussion that takes place every Thursday. I haven't been interested in a lot of these, but I've decide to do this feature.
Today's Topic
Do you ever pick up a book on your shelf, that you've already read, and just read it again?
I have to first start out by saying I don't very often reread books because in all honesty there is so many new books out and so many books I want to read that I just don't have the time.
When I find a book that I fall in love with I will reread it in the future. I only can think of a couple instances where I have reread a book which will shared below. I believe that reread is a great way to rediscover the story and fall in love with the book all over again.
Sometime during sixth grade I reread Little House in the Big Woods. The complete story is in my post about Laura Ingalls Wilder.
Then during the summer before I entered High School I reread the entire Love Comes Softly series plus the tag along series A Prairie Legacy. Coming to a total of 12 books during the summer. That is really good for me because I read 7 books last summer. I share the full story in my post about the author, Janette Oke. I love this series so much and I wish I could just make everybody read this wonderful series, but I know not everybody thinks like I do.
The final memory I have of reread is this year, 2013, reread The Time Traveler's Wife. I just really want to reread the book to pick up the parts I missed and experience the story all over again. I loved every minute I spent reading that book which is probably why it only took me five days to finish a 540 page novel.
I don't overly reread, but I like the idea. See you next week to talk about Romance Novels.
Thanks for Reading and leave your thoughts below.

Aren't they great? I fell in love with Laura Ingalls Wilder and I'm excited that my mom has begun talking about visiting her house again. You need to read The Time Traveler's Wife it is an amazing book.
