Fantasy discussion

Which one?

Mostly books by Patricia McKillip, Ursula Le Guin and Barbara Hambly. I've also reread the Osten Ard books by Ted Williams and Wiedźmin/The Witcher by Andrzej Sapkowski several times.
There are other books I've reread at least once, but the list could be very long.

ive read good girls guide to murder series twice. I've read Edenbrooke and Blackmoore by Julianne Donaldson 2 times. I can't think of any others right now

I’ll check them all out and see if there are any I haven’t read yet. I think it’s great when a book has something that makes you want to experience it multiple times. For me, there have been books that, when I read them again after a few years, gave me something different, maybe even more. I must have absorbed them differently.

A few but I think I will keep reading Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo at least once a year :D

Wow, that’s awesome! I’ll check it out too

Keeper of the lost cities! I have read it like four times. It is labeled a children’s series and it might be a little bit to childish for some of you but it is a really cute, homey and long series.

The book that impressed me so much that I read it twice was Dragonsbane by Barbara Hambly. It was long ago, but Morkeleb is still my favorite dragon!

Powerful by Lauren Roberts. It never fails to make me cry

All the books wrote by Jane Austen 💓

I haven't read it yet! I do not want to be heart broken :(

I cant think of any book I would want to read more than once, as there is so much else out there to read, and I am so behind, I will never catch up.

But...if I was to, its probably to learn something, and see how something was done that is similar to something I want to do in my own writing.

I have had it explained to me that some people re-read books in the same way I might watch a movie for a second time, as kind of a comfort...but that has never been me.

Assuming of course that we dont include things like the Bible, and children's books like Horton Hears A Who. I read Horton like 500 times when my kids were young.

A book I might like to read again might be the ones that inspired me...Dune, Elric, Conan....but I probably wont.

I read The Navigator's Children by Tad Williams in November, then reread Into The Narrowdark (the previous book in the same series), and am currently reading The Navigator's Children again. Call me weird, but I really like these books, even though the author killed off my favourite character in the last one.
