Do you reread books or are you done with them once you’ve read them?

I like to reread books sometimes! Rereading is especially good if I’ve just finished something heavy or intense; I can follow that up with something that I’ve enjoyed before so it doesn’t take too much effort and I can have a bit of a break. I also don’t have the greatest retention for what I read, so even if I’ve read something before there’s no way I’ll remember everything. And there are certain books that are comforting and cozy and those are great to reread when I want that kind of mood.

    Almost never, at this point. I feel like I must be a pretty slow reader. I get through maybe 20 books a year right now. (This does not include all the kids books I read with my kid. We read together every night. Currently in early chapter books. Longer books it’s hard to keep his interest more than a few nights in a row).

    But at my current pace it would take 10 years just to go through everything I own and want to read.
