I’m not much of a re-reader, so my list of favorite Books
I’ve Reread was hard to come by. I’ve found that I do love to reread; it’s just
that there are so many unread, unexplored books that call to me more loudly.
However, when I reread a book, it feels like I really have made it a part of my
life, a cozy friend that will always be there for me. Here are my favorites
that I’ve returned to and plan to return to again and again.
Any book by Jane Austen – I’ve read all six of her novels at least three times. Her characters, plotlines, and humorous writing style are some of the most memorable in literature. Her relatable heroines give me something new to think about every time.
Any book by L. M. Montgomery – Anne of Green Gables is my
favorite, but most of Montgomery’s fiction shares the charm, lyricism, and
enchantment that makes Anne Shirley so iconic. These books are perfect for
reminding us of the beauty of the world.
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte – I’ve read this Victorian
novel about an intrepid young governess three times. It’s so rich with things
to ponder that I unpeel a new layer every time I read it.
The Chronicles of Narnia by C. S. Lewis – Another set of
books with layers of meaning, yet told simply in a fun and intimate style, this
beloved fantasy series is readable at almost any age.
The Little House series by Laura Ingalls Wilder – These
books about a real-life pioneer family never get old. Full of descriptions of
long-gone days and the eternal theme of family love and loyalty, these books
have been a part of my life longer than any of the others on my list.
