The idea for today is top ten books to reread, but I've cheated a bit and gone for series as I LOVE marathon-reading series!
Kat Stephenson by Stephanie Burgis
- My all-time favourite heroine! I treated myself to the trilogy from the Book
People a few months ago so I had a full set of paperbacks as previously I only
owned two as e-books. Definitely planning on blitzing them ASAP.
Gallagher Girls by Ally Carter -
Loved this series so much and I'm tempted to try and reread before Ally's new
book, All Fall Down, hits shelves early next year. The central quartet in this
one are one of my favourite ever groups of friends.
Pea's Book by Susie Day - This
quartet is gorgeous, a set of warm, funny and touching novels. I've read them
all at least twice, but would love to binge-read (and because they're quite
short could probably do in a few days!)
Drina by Jean Estoril - My all-time favourite series. I
reread them over a few months last year, finishing in Red Lion Square where the
Dominick School is located for most of the series, and it's exquisite even
after reading individual books so many times previously.
GONE by Michael Grant - This is the kind of series that is
normally too brutal for me, but the characters arcs for so many characters is
SO amazing that I want to return to it.
Sadler's Wells by Lorna Hill - 14 books in the series but
the last 4 are ridiculously hard to track down. I've read the first 10 so many
times but would love to get my hands on those final books and marathon read it.
Wereworld by Curtis Jobling - Loved this epic fantasy
series, with great character development and some amazing relationships over
the course of the six books.
The Magician Trilogy by Jenny Nimmo - I reread Nimmo's The
Snow Spider a few years ago and thought it was breathtaking; a stunning look at
grief wrapped up in a magical story. I want to finish rereading the series when
I get a chance.
Harry Potter by JK Rowling - I've been meaning to reread the
series ever since I finished Deathly Hallows on release day but they're so
long! I love the way Rowling tied up so much stuff in book 7 and I want to go
back and see if I can spot things in earlier books that play a bigger part
towards the end. I may need to splash out on one of the gorgeous new boxed
sets...
The Monstrumologist by Rick Yancey - I haven't got to the
last in the series yet but thought the first was good, the second great, and
the third AMAZING.
I've only read Harry Potter out of the books mentioned and it's a series just too good to read just the once.... I think I've read the complete series more than a few times now plus every time a new book came out I'd re-read the other books first!
ReplyDeleteTotally with you on the Harry Potter - I'm the same, I haven't reread them since the last book came out but so want to go back and reread them all in one go. Nice list!
