Book Riot's Read Harder Challenge discussion

Is this cheating? I’m trying to stay mostly with books I already own; library is next choice. For a couple categories I have books I already read that are a perfect fit, ones I haven’t read in several years (they were in storage).

I don't think so you are reading

I think you mostly want to stick with new material since the purpose of the challenge is to broaden your scope. But I don't see the harm in re-reading one or two, honestly. I put a re-read down for "A Cover You Hate" prompt, but I'll probably replace it with something else down the line.

Here’s my opinion, and I am a double dipper, (1 book can fulfill multiple challenges) HECK YA! Reread! If it’s been over 6 month to a year since you last read it, GO FOR IT. It’s your challenge. You have my support.

For my western, I’m rereading an old favorite that I haven’t read in 3 years at least. It’s amazing how many details I forgot! So I think yes, rereading is all good! The beauty of this challenge is that your intensity level is all up to you
