There's nothing better than diving into the books you love <3 To connect with your favorite characters again. <br /><br />And I don't know. It never feels like a waste to re-read a book. Yeah, there are so many great new books out there, but I just love it.Mel@Thedailyprophecyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01516514938771433319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2315549757556103515.post-66470267932852280202010-04-12T22:13:31.412+01:002010-04-12T22:13:31.412+01:00I re-read very few books, mainly because I have so...I re-read very few books, mainly because I have so many new books to read and don't have the time to re-read older books.

I just love the suspense of not knowing what's going to happen for sure and figuring things out along the way. Occasionally I'll pick up a book to reread favorite <i>parts</i> of it, but that's about it. Of course, I don't really buy books much - I'm more of a library addict! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15390269408648386607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2315549757556103515.post-52688253941885370672010-04-03T20:45:03.568+01:002010-04-03T20:45:03.568+01:00Oh I agree Sara Lyn, sometimes I don't like a ...Oh I agree Sara Lyn, sometimes I don't like a book the first time around but then end up loving it if I read it again.
