By BookBub•March 10, 2022•5 min read
Even though there are so many new and exciting books out in the world, there’s something so comforting about rereading an old favorite. We asked BookBub readers to tell us what book they reread the most — whether it’s a beloved classic or a newer release they can’t stop thinking about. Read on to see their recommendations!
Note: Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.
Faye says: “The book I reread the most is A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith. The book teaches me different things at various stages of my life. I guess I am a tree who has grown, developed, and changed through the years.”
Marilynn says: “I read Little Women for the first time when I was 10, and fell in love with Jo. I can’t count how many times I have reread it in the last 70-plus years, and Jo is still my role model.”
Phyllis says: “I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve read this series. Like visiting old friends.”
Bonnie says: “The entire In Death series by J. D. Robb. Over and over. I can practically recite them, but if I run out of reading material or don’t feel well, I start the series over again.”
Tracy says: “I’ve read A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving more times than any other book. His writing is so rich, I fall deeper into their world every time.”
Deborah says: “It captures my imagination over and over again. I also find as I age, I read it with new perspective. It’s fascinating.”
Jenn says: “I change my mind about the ending each time!”
Julienne says: “A love story like no other, cruel and unforgettable characters and continues to haunt your thoughts long after you have put it down. Brave writing in a different time.”
Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett
Philip says: “Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett is the only book I’ve ever gone back to simply to try to capture the pleasure all over again.”
Jenni says: “The Inspector Brunetti series by Donna Leon. I love the setting in Venice, his family, and food! I have never been to Venice, but through the books I feel that I have! The murders are just an afterthought.”
Kim says: “Yes, it’s a historical romance, but I think I laughed through each chapter. I have it in paperback and on my Kindle. It’s the one I reach for when I want to lighten my mood and enjoy the humor.”
Janna says: “I read Persuasion every year. Austen’s depiction of love lost and won gets me every time. Her insights into class and the status of women are remarkable.”
Allison says: “Her blending of history with fantasy is beautiful, and I love her writing style. I have reread the books because I felt I missed details and it turned out I had.”
April says: “It was creepy the first time I read it, even creepier the second time, and absolutely petrifying the third time! Can’t wait to see how it freaks me out when I read it a fourth time!”
Stephanie says: “It has a dreamlike quality for me, just like the circus it depicts. Very soothing and relaxing to read.”
