I’m always curious what books people come back to, even though they already know exactly how everything ends. Is it for comfort? Nostalgia? A favourite character or vibe? Or maybe you discover something new each time?
I’m someone who generally enjoys re-reading books, I think mostly for comfort reasons, but honestly… I’m not even sure why exactly. I just like going back to stories I already know, even if I already remember the plot, e.g. I’ve re-read Harry Potter and The Black Magician Trilogy more times than I can count. I first read both as a kid, so there’s definitely some nostalgia involved, but I also just love the characters and the world, and they’ve become real comfort reads for me.
Do you re-read books often too? Or are you more of a one-and-done reader? And which stories do you find yourself going back to – and what makes them worth revisiting? 😊 (I’m thinking of making a little re-read TBR based on your answers 👀)
