Q. Do you have a favorite series that you read over and over again? Tell us a bit about it and why you keep on revisiting it?
A. I have never been the kind of reader to reread something once read. I like the newness of a different story. Knowing what to expect kinda takes the fun out of it for me. I have recently found some amazing books that I would want to reread, and they are a series: If I Stay and Where She Went by Gayle Forman. They are vivid and beautiful. And I want to experience them not as audiobooks (which is how I have read them now), but as actual words on paper. I want to re-experience the imagery and honesty and grittiness and tragedy. Another “series” I want to reread is Ashes by Ilsa J. Bick. The second book isn’t even out yet! So, I’ll have to reread book one then book two, once it’s released! The same is true for Mike Mullin’s Ashfall. Book two is scheduled for release in 2012 and I’ll have to reread book one before reading it.
And, because I can’t do a Follow Friday without hating on Twilight: I will never read them again. I would rather burn them instead.
Happy Friday!
Now…
Get to reading,
Richard

ReplyDeleteAbout to read IF I STAY myself, sounds like a good recommendation from you.
Have a great weekend!
So many people are saying they're not rereaders. Maybe I'm just unique in that way, but I have a couple books I could read over & over again. I liked If I Stay & Where She Went. The first was such a heartbreaker, though. I don't know if I could read that one again.
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!
I can understand the newness and not re-reading.

Hopping through. I loved If I Stay. I'm going to re-read it before I read Where She Went.
ReplyDeleteMy Hop
I want to re-read the Chaos Walking trilogy by Patrick Ness. I highly recommend them. I just finished them VERY recently and I am already ready to re-read them. In fact, I would like to listen to them the next time, and then re-read them on paper. They are so great.
