I decided to retread the hp series this summer:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-re-read-books#post-874436 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 12:24:35 +0000 LovelyPlum 874436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! Though to be honest, I don't read much that isn't school-related these days. I should, though!</p> <p>I currently want to re-read To Kill a Mockingbird. I haven't read that in a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-re-read-books#post-874384 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 11:59:01 +0000 lovehoneybee 874384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellemybelle: It's pretty much my favorite book ever. And DH has read it several times as well! We actually have two copies just in case we both want to read it at the same time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-re-read-books#post-874350 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 11:43:45 +0000 DillonLion 874350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've read the HP books countless times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-re-read-books#post-874349 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 11:43:00 +0000 daniellemybelle 874349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: I reread The Time Traveler's Wife too! It's my favorite book. I just read it for probably the 15th time and bawled like it was the first time.</p> <p>I like to reread my absolute favorite books, but there's nothing better than a brand new book! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-re-read-books#post-874267 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 11:03:15 +0000 swurlygurl 874267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. 64: What have you done - how am I supposed to be productive now? ;)</p> <p>I only re-read HP books... like 1,000 times. I don't know if I'm more obsessed with Harry Potter or Friends... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-re-read-books#post-873983 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 09:24:21 +0000 mrs. 64 873983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: Earlier this year I read The Perks of Being a Wallflower. It wasn't until the last chapter that I realized I had totally read that book before! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-re-read-books#post-873730 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 07:04:15 +0000 TheReelDeal 873730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do! And the best part is I'll get so wrapped up in the story like it's the first time I'm reading it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-re-read-books#post-873690 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 06:17:41 +0000 MediaNaranja 873690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love to re-read books! Especially with classic books, I find that I get a lot more out of it when I read it a second (third, fourth) time. East of Eden is my favorite book and I've probably read it three or four times. I'm about due for another :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-re-read-books#post-873666 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 05:39:16 +0000 MrsSCB 873666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Katrocap: I heard that, though I've never read 101 Dalmations either. Which is surprising because my little sister was obsessed with the movie and "dalmation doggies!" haha. You should definitely read "I Capture the Castle" -- so good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-re-read-books#post-873421 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 22:35:18 +0000 Bookish 873421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: haha, you aren't a dork, I'm the same way! I forget most of the book right after I finish it...so it really is like reading a new book every time lol! One nice thing about bad memories, we get a lot of replay action out of books!</p> <p>@Ree723: ahh, that's good to hear! I've been picking up books on clearance and everyone thinks I'm being too optimistic about my reading time... Glad to hear reading is still possible!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-re-read-books#post-873383 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 22:11:55 +0000 Ree723 873383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookworm: I'm so jealous! There is nothing I love more than a new book! Brilliant idea stocking up on some new ones before your LO gets here - you will definitely deserve the reward! Everyone said I'd never have time to read once LO got here but I'm happy to say that was not the case. Reading was the best form of relaxation....ahh, I'm in the midst of a great book right now but I really want to go out and buy some new ones! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-re-read-books#post-873264 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 21:26:16 +0000 Katrocap 873264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, all the time. Usually every summer I reread Harry Potter. I'm a teacher so I have extra time in the summer; that helps! One of my favorite authors, Sylvia Engdahl, I reread her books every few years. And Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy gets reread on a regular basis, too.</p> <p>@mrsdoily: I reread the Anne books every few years, too!</p> <p>@mrsscb: I love the film I Capture the Castle, but have never read the book. I'll have to read it! Did you know Dodie Smith wrote the book 101 Dalmatians (which I have also never read)? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-re-read-books#post-873233 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 21:14:25 +0000 lovehoneybee 873233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are a couple I reread (besides children's books). The Time Traveler's Wife, The Dark Tower series, The Hunger Games, most of Vonnegut and Tom Robbins, and HP. I want to reread HP from the start but I think I'm going to wait a few more years, until LO is older enough that I can start to read them to him (although that'll probably be a while, so maybe I'll read them once through in the interim). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-re-read-books#post-873209 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 21:08:33 +0000 jhd 873209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestripedbee I am like that with tv shows! DH always remembers the bad guys on shows like NCIS so he won't re-watch them, but I forget &amp; it's like a new show! Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-re-read-books#post-873198 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 21:06:32 +0000 tinyperson 873198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup - I have a good number of books I can pull out to re read. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-re-read-books#post-873197 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 21:06:24 +0000 jhd 873197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some books, like HP or Jane Austen books. But not usually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-re-read-books#post-873196 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 21:06:20 +0000 BSB 873196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I do. There are a few that come to mind. I have a bad memory so it's like I'm reading a new book. OMG, I'm such a dork. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-re-read-books#post-873186 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 21:04:40 +0000 jmarionsmith 873186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i never re-read books. i just can't. i guess, to me, reading a book is so time consuming and if i'm going to give up my time to read (i don't really see it as "giving up" but you know what i mean) then i want it to be for something new. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-re-read-books#post-873174 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 21:02:27 +0000 Bookish 873174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yeah, I'm a huge re-reader. I'm proud of myself actually, I've bought five new books for maternity leave! I usually just read what's on my shelf.... But I decided I deserved some new reading material :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-re-read-books#post-873151 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 20:55:42 +0000 mrsdoily 873151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I typically re-read Harry Potter once or twice a year, I will re-read the Anne of Green Gable series about once every 3-5 years, and if I read a series that is still coming out, I will re-read the previous books before reading the new ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-re-read-books#post-873143 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 20:53:42 +0000 MrsF 873143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love to re-read books! I find it very comforting. I worked overnight (in an ICU at a boston hospital) the night after the marathon bombings - it was a tough shift. The first thing I did when I got home was start re-reading the first HP book. I think I just needed to dive into something familiar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-re-read-books#post-873091 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 20:39:10 +0000 Sweet T 873091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not usually. HP is my exception too. I started rereading the first one a month or so ago but didn't finish. I really want to read them again before baby #2 gets here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-re-read-books#post-873086 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 20:37:42 +0000 Bao 873086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. 64: never heard of it. I don't do the twitter thing though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-re-read-books#post-873080 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 20:36:59 +0000 MrsSCB 873080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely! I've re-read lots of books, but off the top of my head I read the Harry potter books about a million times and I also read I Capture the Castle a ton of times. It is soooo good and romantic! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-re-read-books#post-873079 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 20:36:57 +0000 winniebee 873079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only the ones I read to my son :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-re-read-books#post-873076 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 20:36:23 +0000 mrs. 64 873076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: @Bao: Have you heard of Muggle Hustle? I don't keep up with it but my sister is obsessed. It's this 25 year old guy who is reading HP start to finish for the first time and he tweets as he goes. Some of his tweets are pretty hilarious. He also has them all compiled by book on his website. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-re-read-books#post-873068 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 20:34:54 +0000 Ree723 873068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I reread nearly all of the books I own - unless I just thought it was meh, everything I have has been read multiple times.</p> <p>I couldn't even begin to tell you how many times I have read Harry Potter, Pride and Prejudice, Gone With the Wind, To Kill a Mockingbird, and a few other classics - I always pick up something new when I read me again and I love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-re-read-books#post-873049 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 20:31:47 +0000 hilsy85 873049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Constantly. I think I"ve re read the majority of books I own. I love re reading! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-re-read-books#post-873033 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 20:29:41 +0000 Bao 873033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love to re-read HP again. I don't usually re-read books though. </p>
