At the beginning of the year, I decided that my reading goal for this year is to re-read some of my favorite books. Six months into the endeavor, I'd say it's been a success.
These are the books I've re-read so far:
- January - Elantris by Brandon Sanderson
- February - Find Her by Lisa Gardner
- March - The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson
- April - When You See Me by Lisa Gardner
- May - Arcanum Unbounded by Brandon Sanderson
- June - The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab
If you're thinking, "Half of those books are by Brandon Sanderson," you'd be right. Each month in 2024, I'm planning to alternate between re-reading a Brandon Sanderson book and a book by another author. That I'm willing to spend half of my re-reading allotment on Sanderson is a testament to how much I enjoy his books.
You might have also noticed two books by Lisa Gardner on the list. This was unexpected. I had planned to re-read Find Her all along since it's my favorite Lisa Gardner book and one of my favorite thrillers of all time. However, in reading the book again, I loved it so much that I wanted to read another book in the same series. I don't anticipate re-reading another Lisa Gardner book this year, but she has a new book, Still See You Everywhere, that's on my TBR list.
That highlights what I discovered so far through the six books I've re-read. They are all still 5-star books for me. The passage of time hasn't diminished how much I like each one. Given how well the re-read has gone so far, I wouldn't be surprised to re-read more of my favorite books next year.
