The Joy of Rereads

There's something really joyful about reread books or audiobooks, isn't it? Whether you reread because of comfort and familiarity to the world/characters/story, getting a deeper understanding on the story and/or the author's writing, emotional connection or just because, I've never heard of anyone who doesn't like a good reread. (Am curious on why you, dear reader, reread?)

And seeing as, a few weeks ago, I went "Let's try and do some rereads this year" and accidently went down a rabbit-hole on some titles, I thought I would look at some rereads on my radar and hope you guys keep me accountable on sticking to reread these before the end of the year. I did chat about a few of these titles in my Neverending Reread TBR post back in September of last year.

Did I stick to my Reread TBR? No. As I said in another post (Rereading Surprises), I only reread 3 books last year: The Diviners by Libba Bray, Mortal Engines by Philip Reeve and We Were Liars by E. Lockhart. 

Not sure what was the shift in me wanting to reread came from. I know that both The Woman in Black by Susan Hill and The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins came about as I saw both their stage productions and I wanted to refresh my memory over the original text, but the other books I have reread so far/am currently rereading/planning to reread are very impulsive.
