Revisit favorite books this summer #rereadingsummer

There are sooooo many books to read that I don‘t tend to read a book more than once (with the exception of when I was in middle and high school). The few exceptions are:
* Harry Potter Series
* Ya Ya Sisterhood
* Judy Bloom YA books now that I‘m an adult
* Little Girl Lost

Do you reread?
I picked this up yesterday for a bingo square. I‘m constantly recommending this book so I thought it would be a great time to pick it up and see if it holds up. I‘m 6 chapters in and loving it just as much as the first time I read it.
My current favorite bookmark ❤
pickI read Fadiman‘s collection of essays (Ex Libris) and loved it. This was a collection where she was the editor. I liked some more than others, but I‘d give it a solid 4 stars out of 5. I hadn‘t read most of the books these essays were written about but I enjoyed each essayist‘s reflection on their experience of reading (and rereading later in life). #readathon
Third book of the day. #readathon
The sun rises earlier on this side of the world so I have cracked open my #2018nonfictionbookexchange presents from @batsy . I am on a work trip but I made sure to pack these so that I could open it today and not Saturday. 😂😂 Thank you @batsy for the interesting selection of books and the bookish gifts! The small notebooks will come in useful on my travels.
Have also started reading the tagged book. 😁

Seventeen writers revisit books they love. You know you're a bibliophile if you enjoy reading about reading.
I don‘t own this, found out about it and stacked immediately!

pick"Seventeen Writers Revisit Books They Love" describes the essay collection edited by Anne Fadiman (author of Ex Libris). None of the essays are by her. Although all are well-written, a few essays were winning; a few left me meh, and some I'm sure I've already forgotten. Not a total wow for me; I'll give this a pick because it's about books and the love of reading. Except for the essay by David Michaelis about the Beatles' Sgt Pepper album ?♀️
In this essay collection about the rereading experience, this author moved cross-country based on the fact he found his favorite author in a bookstore there! For real. Ah, the power of books 📚📚📚📚ETA: author of this essay is Michael Upchurch.
#TBRtemptation post 3! Is a book the same book and a reader the same reader during a reread? The 17 essayists in this book say no. These are no conventional literary criticism essays, rather each is a mini-memoir that focuses on the bibliophile's love of books or a particular book. Authors include: Sven Birkets, Allegra Goodman, Vivian Gornick, & Phillip Lopate. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
Day 3 of #feistyfeb and it's #mostreread
Which books do you love to read over and over?
