You are dead on about how good Tairen Soul books are, remember when Elysetta said to Rain "I burn. Burn With Me"...I love that line from the book.

I would re-read the Twilight series (if I had enough time).

Sookie Stackhouse,BDB,The Hollows,The Fever Series, and of course the Twilight Saga

Anita Blake, Sookie, BDB and Glory St. Claire series.

Now that I'm thinking about it, I don't seem to reread much PNR or UF. Huh! I'm a rereader, so this is a bit surprising.

I reread the Harry Potter series at least once a year (I'm in the middle of book 5 right now), and I usually reread Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman at least once. I haven't lately, though, because I wrote my master's thesis on it (and Coraline). That led to juuuuust a bit of a burnout, hehe.

Black Dagger Brotherhood and the Fever series. Love these :)

I actually have a shelf named "books I can reread over and over" LOL! There are some specific books in a series that I can reread, but not the whole series sometimes.

Series: Harry Potter, Elemental Assassin, Hunger Games, Psy-Changeling, Guild Hunter, Tairen Soul

I am not one to re-read books all that often but I will probably re-read Fever, BDB and Night Huntress again soon

I need to read the Outlander series I hear it is awesome.

A couple books that I've read over and over would have to be "The Other Boleyn Girl" and "Gone With the Wind". As far as paranormal stuff, I've read New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn several times. I need to read "The Host" again, because I really loved that book.

I tried to read the Host and couldn't get past the first few pages. I don't know if I was just in a really bad mood or what, but I never picked it up again. I heard that is was being made into a movie, though.

The Host starts out super slow, like it takes over 100 pages for it to finally get good, but once it gets started it's great. I hope you'll give it another try and that if you do you enjoy it.

It is very rare for me to ever put down a book. So far, The Host and the Shack are two that I had a hard time with. Maybe I will try reading it again because we all know Stephanie Meyer is a genius.
I know it sounds bad that I couldn't finish ths Shack. People always have something to add about my aversion to the book. I just say, "Hey, it's fiction! It's not like I'm rejecting the Holy Bible or anything." lol

Yes I absolutely agree it took me 3 times finally move past the first several chapters but once I did I loved it. Great book!!!

Night Huntress by Jeaniene Frost... Especially the first 2.

I could read Acheron by Sherrilyn Kenyon over and over again.

Ashley wrote: "I could read Acheron by Sherrilyn Kenyon over and over again."

I absolutely agree!! It rates in my top 5.

Anything by Jane Austen excluding Mansfield Park
The Harry Potter series
The Southern Vampire Series
The Vampire Academy Series
The Black Dagger Brotherhood Series
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
The Dark Tower Series
To Kill a Mockingbird
The Mortal Instruments Series
Jane Eyre
Envy
North & South

those are the first ones that come to mind. But generally, if I enjoyed a book I can reread it.

hmmmm.....a few of my MUST REREADS are the following...

First Drop of Crimson- Jeanine Frost
Lover Avenged - JR Ward
Vampire Academy - Richelle Mead (the whole series)
Twiight Series - Stephanie Meyer (well just because)
Sin Undone - Larissa Ione

To name a few! These are my most read novels/series

I am so with you there! The only series that I have re-read is the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning. I have a feeling that I'll read it once a year or so for the rest of my life! I even read her Highlander series before I read the fever series because it has some pertinent info that helps to understand what happens in Dublin. I swear, I could follow Mac around and drool after Barrons no matter how scared I am!

You all are killing me!!! LOL. I still have to finish outlander before I can move on to the fae. With all the rave reviews of both I almost flipped a coin. Highlander was awesome though, right!!!!

I could read Lover Avenged and Lover Awakened by j.R. Ward over and over again. I love her characters....if only they were real lol

I keep hearing about the outlander series. What is that?

The Outlander series written by Diana Gabaldon. So far, these are the books in the series (in order): Outlander, Dragonfly in Amber, Voyager, Drums of Autumn, The Fiery Cross, A Breath of Snow and Ashes, and An Echo in the Bone. It's technically a time-travel romance series, but it has A LOT more going on to it than just that. It is without a doubt my favorite series ever :)

THanks so much! I'll put it on my to read list

With so many good books out there and more appearing every day, I don't reread. So many books, so little time...
But I'd read the Anita Blake series again, definitely Mercy Thompson and Alpha and Omega also Sookie Stackhouse
They're all three very entertaining.

I recently re-read two books. I don't usually do that at all. I figured out why people do it though. Sometimes you are seeking the feelings you had when you were reading the characters. That was the case for me. I wanted to reconnect and experience the characters again because I was not getting those feelings from other stuff I was reading.

A book I can read over and over (and do): Jill Barnett's Bewitching. I think the copyright date is 1997 and I utterly love it.

My most re-read include:
Halfway to the Grave, I cannot get over Bones' utter sexiness in this one & Cat's naive ferocity. The second book is wonderful as well (and honestly, so is the entire series!)

The first four Vampire Academy books: Vampire Academy, Frostbite, Shadow Kiss, and Blood Promise. You really can't go wrong with these :)

Guilty Pleasures is an old standby as well. I love the early books: violence, vampires, sexiness abounds, and seriously sadistic baddies. All of which are fine by me ;)

Some Girls Bite - I love, love, love this series... although, I wouldn't mind if Ethan got a personality makeover... just sayin'.

@ Raquel -- Ethan is the bomb! LoL. Chole needs to grow a pair and hit that every chance he gives her. I love the series too.

Like Irene said, so many books, so little time :) But I have to say the Harry Potter books I've reread more than once. I've also watched all the films out so far...more than three times. I'm a fan :)

Vampire Academy and Chicago Vamps!

Rereads....hmm... Night Huntress Series, Dark Hunter (Talon, Vane, Valerius, and the one & only Acheron), BDB (V & Z), Guild Hunter, Bitten (love Clay), the entire McCloud brothers series... I hope I'm never forced to choose btwn books while stranded on a desert island...there are too many faves!

I love all of those books as well! I just re read Bitten a couple of months ago(yummy Clay) I also just re read the Night Huntress Series.
So many great books

Books I DO read over and over
Series- Twilight, Hunger Games
Singles- Jellicoe Road, Little Princess & D=Secret Garden (I've been reading these two over and over since childhood)

There are others that I will re-read in the future.

Candy wrote: "Series...Hunger Games..."

I loved Huger Games. One of these days, I'll reread them too :)

I am rereading The Mortal Instraments series again because the fourth book is coming out next month. This will be my third time reading them... I can't get enough of the shadowhunter hotties. lol

Clay, Bones, and Vane are tied for hottest alpha heros EVER (on my mental list) and Acheron is in a class of awesome all his own.

There are two series that I could re read over and over again. . The Darkest Powers trilogy and Mortal Instruments. Both have good love stories between the main characters. They get me everytime!

I know... You would think after reading the Mortal Instraments twice, that I'd beable to put City of Bones down when reading it for the third time...Nope! It feels just like the first time.. lmao

The Princess Bride
Sookie Stackhouse books
Harry Dresden books
