10 books worth reading again booklist queen

While many books are easily consumed in one sitting, there are a select few books worth reading again and again. As a reader who rarely re-reads books, find out 10 books worth reading again, in my opinion. For those of you who have read my blog in the past, you’ll know that I rarely reread books. My insanely long to-read list is constantly putting pressure on me to read new books. Consequently, I usually don’t find the time to give books I’ve already read a second go-round. Yet, some books are just so deliciously good that one read simply is not enough.

Whether it is for stunningly beautiful plots, clever storylines or wonderful lessons, there are a few books worth reading again. Today, I decided to limit my list to 10 books worth reading again. Not because these are the only books worth reading again. I’ve limited my list because I’m trying to get myself back into blogging after taking a long break. So dive right into my list, and be sure to comment at the end and let me know what books you think are worth reading again. Let’s kick off this list of books worth reading again with one of my favorites.

I’m not at all surprised it won a Pulitzer Prize; the writing is fabulous. Anthony Doerr masterfully interweaves the stories of Marie-Laurie, a blind French girl who flees from Paris to the coastal city of Saint-Malo with her uncle, and Werner, a German radio operator charged with rooting... While the plot is interesting in and of itself, the character development and storytelling will keep you glued to the page. Gag to Rules of Civility. But his A Gentleman in Moscow is a definite reread for me!! I much preferred a gentleman in Moscow as well!

The Gentleman of Moscow was way better than Rules of Civility, imho. Haven’t read Crossing to Safety but have reread The Angle of Repose a couple of times and love it. The Secret Garden always warms my heart with each rereading. I just reread The Secret Garden. Last time was about 50 years ago! Just as heart-warming now.

I agree about Gentleman in Moscow being the better of the two books. Definitely enjoyed it even more the second time through. Also I absolutely have loved Secret Garden all my life! 10 Books You'll Want to Read Again and Again (Picture Credit - Instagram) Seasoned Editor and Author with over a decade of experience in literary journalism, author interviews, and publishing trends.

© 2025 Bennett, Coleman & Company Limited How to choose the best reads of the year? Of the over one hundred books I read last year, these are my top ten reads of 2024. Last year, I read 129 books. While far from a record year, it feels like a decent count given my job as a book reviewer. With all those books, it can be hard to keep my full 2024 reading list straight.

However, my top reads of the year had something that made them stand out. Each of these books touched me in a way – making me thinking about life, past and future. And because I can never settle on just ten, I threw in a few honorable mentions that were so close to making the list. Enjoy the list and let me know what you think in the comments. Welcome back. Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account.
