This week’s topic is Books I Could Re-Read Forever. What a topic!!!! I don’t tend to re-read a lot anymore – the overwhelming TBR mountain might have something to do with that! – but there are many books that are always there for me on my shelves that I can happily go back to when the dreaded reading slump strikes. as I often find that going back to an old favourite is the perfect remedy – so prepare for a list of old favourites that never grow old!!
MALLORY TOWERS by ENID BLYTON
My childhood!!! The whole series was wonderful to me and I desperately wanted to go to boarding school so I could have the same kind of adventures as Darrell and her friends!
THE SECRET DIARY OF ADRIAN MOLE aged 13 3/4 by SUE TOWNSEND
Adored this when it came out as it felt so different to anything else I’d read and I still love to go back and see how awkward Adrian was!
NARNIA SERIES by C.S.LEWIS
The whole series had me captivated and I have our old local GP to thank, as he used to have a little lending library and he let me borrow these from that!
HARRY POTTER series by J.K. ROWLING
More escapism reading that I always seem to discover something new from everytime I pick it up to relive the magic!
REBECCA by DAPHNE DU MAURIER
This was a fairly recent discovery for me, but it has taken a special place in my heart!
TWILIGHT by STEPHENIE MEYER
The initial book in this series had such an impact on me as a reader that I can always go back to it to get all the vampire feels!
BRIDGET JONES’S DIARY by HELEN FIELDING
Because!!! 😉
THE HOBBIT by J.R.R. TOLKIEN
I love all of Middle Earth so can happily read any of these time and time again!
THE BOOK THIEF by MARKUS ZUSAK
One of the first books I think that made me cry and it has done everytime I’ve read it since!!
ALICE’S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND & THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS by LEWIS CARROLL
No list of re-reads can be complete without this world! Still discovering new things from the stories everytime I read them and they are just as wonderful now as they were back in my childhood!
💗💗💗💗💗
Loved this topic today! Had so much fun going back to some of my favourite books! Hope you’ve enjoyed it too! Any of these on your lists?!
