The Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer. Each week poses a book-related question. The hop starts on Friday and ends on Thursday. The purpose is to give bloggers a chance to follow other blogs, learn about new books, befriend other bloggers, and receive new followers.
I’ve only re-read a handful of books as an individual. I’m not a big re-reader. I have re-read Outlander numerous times (at least five), Wild Bells to the Wild Sky (probably close to ten or more), and perhaps the first few Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. One day I will re-read the Harry Potter series.
As a teacher, I’ve re-read a lot of books with my students. The first three years in my current district we did book clubs at the end of the year and it was the same books each year: Matilda, Savvy, The Princess Academy, The Watsons Go to Birmingham-1963, Freak the Mighty. The last two years we’ve read Trouble River (which I originally read during my student teaching). And this school year my Pre-AP students read Where the Red Fern Grows (which I read in 4th or 5th grade).
I still haven’t had a chance to read Outlander. I have reread HP, and I highly recommend rereading HP because you pick up on so many things you may have missed on the first read.
I can imagine the many rereads for school with your students. It must be interesting to hear each new class’s thoughts on the books though.

I would really like to re-read the Harry Potter books too. I can see myself doing that–and listening to the audio versions. I hear they are really good. I don’t often re-read, but occasionally I do. Unless you count my daughter’s books–which we always seem to be re-reading. 🙂
Thanks for sharing, Charlie! I hope you are enjoying your weekend.
