It's why my HP books are so well read. I also reread LJ Smith's Secret Circle books more times than I can count. Since I began blogging rereading has fallen by the wayside and it makes me sad. It's something I've started doing again and I remember that joy it brought me when I was younger so it's something I like to do more of. A Book which can hold up to a second read is a book I want in my life and on my shelf.Becky Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938602345709426466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-4554633406125263032017-04-21T08:19:57.343-06:002017-04-21T08:19:57.343-06:00It’s been a lot of years since I reread Christophe...It’s been a lot of years since I reread Christopher Creed, but I don’t remember it being too scary.

Lots of classics--The Secret Garden,The Little Princess, Alice in Wonderland, Little Women, Eight Cousins, Bambi, Anne of Green Gables. Also books by Judy Blume, E. Nesbit, Joan Aiken, Madeline L'Engle, and many more. I actually have a Goodreads shelf called "Read Repeatedly As a Kid." <br /><br />I picked up The Body of Christopher Creed to read the other day, but it felt like it might be too horror-ish. Is it? I know you like that stuff, but I don't.

It was an exquisite book. Now, my reading world is so much bigger, I want to read EVERYTHING, but I also think it's in my nature.

When I was a kid, I didn't do much re-reading, I was always after something new . . well, except for Hiedi, and Anne of Green Gables, and maybe some of the best Nancy Drew mysteries. Except for Alice, I think your favorites were published after I became an "adult", but I have read 8 of them at least once.
