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.

    I’m in a similar boat. Some of his books I’ve read 3 or 4 times, some only a couple times.

      I actually missed a Stormlight Novella and the fourth Wax & Wayne book is coming out so there’s lots of new material too!

        The 4th book came out in Nov last year. I kinda forgot what happened in the 2nd and 3rd books. So giving those a re-read before I sink my teeth into “The Lost Metal”.

        Honestly, might re-read the first trilogy too afterwards.

        I still need to read that novella, but the last wax and Wayne book has been out for a minute
