This week’s prompt is books you want to read again – either ones you wish you could read again for the first time or books you want to re-read. I have plenty of both.
I don’t know if I will re-read all of these, particularly in the near future (there are always such an overwhelming number of books I have yet to read that it’s hard to justify re-reading!), but I will get to a couple. I’m already re-reading The Fire Next Time, and I’m expecting I’ll finish that this year. I might re-read The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse over Christmas as it has that warm fuzzy feeling to it and is a very quick read.
What about you guys? Any books you hope to re-read before the end of the year? Have you read – or re-read – any of my picks? If the latter, did they hold up the second time?
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly link-up feature created by The Broke and the Bookish and hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. Every week TTT has a different topic, and everyone who links up has to create a link of ten items that fit that topic. To see past and upcoming topics, go here.
I love seeing Life Among the Savages on here! I just read it for the first time last week and loved it.
I’m so glad! I feel like not enough people read her non-fiction.
I’m re-reading All Creatures Great and Small right now. What an uplifting book!
Yes! If you haven’t watched any of the TV series, I’d recommend that too – both the original and 2020 reboot.
I would so love to reread Daisy Jones and the Six. I would have to listen to it again. That experience was so amazing.
Yeah, it blew my socks of. Not at all what I expected – so much better!
Ah I love James Herriot, the Channel 5 reboot of All Creatures Great and Small was such a tonic earlier in the year. My dad used to read his books to me when I was a kid so I have great memories of them.

Yes! It reminds me a lot of The Durrels in Corfu (have you seen it? If not I’d highly recommend it! 4 seasons I think.) – one of the same actors and the intro graphics are very similar. The feel of it is also similar. I found both comforting.
Great selections. Malcolm X’s autobiography was the first book I was assigned in college in the Fall of 1980. Unforgettable. I have read James Herriot’s books so many times, but forgot to put them in today’s post! LOL
Malcolm X had a huge impact on me, but it’s been over 25 years since I read it! Definitely need to re-visit. Have you watched the Netflix series?
Love this! I reread The Fire Next Time this year – properly, as I’d only read pieces of it before – and I understand how it could be something you read again and again. I like the nonfiction on your list! I’m planning to read Natives soon too
I loved it so much. I was amazed that such a small book could have so much to say. But it really does, and everything else seems to build on or around it. Very important read!
Great list! Life Among the Savages is the only one that I’ve read twice, and it held up for sure. I probably appreciated more as an older person, too, as I was pretty young when I read it the first time.
I think I read it at the perfect time and it definitely had an impact!
All Creatures Great and Small was such a good read.
My post.
Yes! I have been enjoying the TV series as well.
The Charles Market book is so lovely!! Perfect for the year 2020 turned out to be! Thanks for reminding me of that one.
If you want to check it out, this is my TTT.
I loved it. Beautiful art and words!
