When I saw that The Orangutan Librarian wrote a post on The Magic of Rereading Children’s Books, I knew that I was going to love it. If you’ve followed me or if you’ve searched the term “rereading” in my blog, you should know that I’m a huge fan of rereading. I try to set aside… Read More The Case for Rereading Books
It’s Saturday! And I have to end the rereading week here because I’m going out for dinner tomorrow (and have a pretty full day anyway) so I probably won’t have time to read much. Today was also a busy day, so I chose something short to reread: This is The Girl with the Green Ear,… Read More 2022 Rereading Week: Day 6 (The End)
Guess what? I finished another book today! So while I’m not making any progress on my actual non-reread books, I am at least finding more time than usual to read. And You, Too, is the third and longest work in Endo’s book Foreign Studies. I was initially optimistic that I would enjoy the story and… Read More 2022 Rereading Week: Day 5
So… things regarding where I was going to work did not go as planned today. The result is that I had a bit more time to read than I expected today, so I managed to finish An English Murder as planned! I definitely enjoyed this reread very much. The humour is gentle but constant and… Read More 2022 Rereading Week: Day 4
Hello friends! This is being posts earlier than usual because I have a night class and won’t be reading past dinner. So as expected, I did not manage to finish An English Murder today. But since it’s fairly slim, I am about halfway through it, which is good news! I think I can finish this… Read More 2022 Rereading Week: Day 3
You may have noticed something different about today – I posted my book review much earlier than usual! That’s because for the first half of this week, I have the opportunity to work from home, which means I am going to save a lot of time commuting and during my lunch break. So, to take… Read More Time for some dedicated rereading (2022 ver)
This is a book that was lost to me for a really long time. The first time I read The Haunting was when I was 14 (almost half my life ago!) and on a school trip to Cambodia. The book belonged to a friend and I never really got the title. For a few years… Read More Book Review: The Haunting by Joan Lowery Nixon
I should have a tag called “accidental rereads”. Before I checked Goodreads, I was very happy about having enjoyed Holy Disorders more than The Moving Toyshop and I was attributing this to finally getting used to Cripsin’s style. But now, I see that I’ve read the book in 2018 and that gives rise to the… Read More Book Review: Holy Disorders by Edmund Crispin
I was under the impression that it’s been a long time since I read Rebecca, but turns out it was just four years! But because I watched the Alfred Hitchcock adaptation of the book and wanted to refresh my memory. Plus, I found a copy of Rebecca for 1 euro and it’s autumn so I… Read More Rereading: Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
I was taking out all my Sarah Dessen books for a photo when I realised that I owned Someone Like You! And despite the fact that I’m sure I have read it, the book didn’t really ring a bell. Someone Like You is the story of Halley and her best friend, Scarlett. At the start… Read More Rereading: Someone like You by Sarah Dessen
