Book meme- Day 28

[scripsi]

29. The one I have reread most often.

I’m a habitual re-reader. Most of the books I read during a year are rereads. Which one I reread the most, though- no idea. But here is an incomplete list of books I return to again and again.

Diana Wynne Jones: Deep Secret, which is certainly the Jones I reread most often. But all of her books get reread now and then.

Elizabeth Kostova: The Historian

Lois McMaster Bujold A Civil Campaign which I tend to reread when I feel fragile, but I love everything of Bujold apart from her Sharing Knife-series, so all of her books are often reread.

The same with Dorothy L. Sayers- I reread all her books, apart from Five Red Herrings, but Gaudy Night is the one I reread most often.

Gwendoline Courtney: Elizabeth and the Garret Theatre

Neil Gaiman: Neverwhere

Agatha Christie. I can be counted on picking up a couple of them every year.

Tove Jansson's Moomin books.

L. M. Montgomery’s Emily-books. I like the Anne-books too, but Emily has always been closer to my heart and it’s her I return to on a regular basis.

And there are, most likely, a couple of books that slip my mind right now.

I love A Civil Campaign. Although I am a couple of books behind, I have been rereading the Vorkosigan Saga along with the book group at Tor.com.

I'm following the reread too, even if I haven't read along. :)

I keep meaning to read the Emily books as I love all the Anne books. I need to get them for my kindle. It's the only way I can really read books lately. Glad to hear you like that author too though!

I buy all my books on Kindle nowadays, unless they are about fashion and sewing. :) I do love the Anne-books too, but Emily is much closer to me in personality and interests, so I always identified with her, which I never did with Anne. :)

I must try Elizabeth Kostova and Gwendoline Courtney: you have such excellent taste in books in terms of the ones I have read, I feel I will probably like the rest if you do.

Thank you! And I hope you will like them if you do!
