This week’s Top Ten Tuesday from That Artsy Reader Girl asks us to share books we’d like to re-read.
Here are ten of mine:
- Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde (It was so long between the first and second books that my memory of the story has grown hazy. It is sitting on my coffee table waiting for me to get moving.)
- A Child’s Christmas in Wales by Dylan Thomas (A charming memoir to reread every few Decembers)
- Barbara Kingsolver’s Animal, Vegetable, Miracle (I keep thinking I’ll start it in January (or maybe it really begins in March?) and carry on with a year-long readalong.)
- Peter Mayle’s A Year in Provence (See above.)
- Jasper Fforde’s Thursday Next (One of my favorite books by one of my favorite authors.)
- Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë (I haven’t re-read it in more than 20 years.)
- As You Wish by Cary Elwes (I read it in print the first time and think it would be fun to listen to it at some point.)
- The Delicacy and Strength of Lace by Leslie Marmon Silko and James Wright (I loved this slim volume of correspondence.)
- The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune (I have the sequel sitting on my coffee table and should revisit this one. I hope I love rereading it as much as I did Under the Whispering Door last year.)
- Sorcery & Cecelia by Patrica Wrede & Caroline Stevermer (I’d like to read the rest of this series, but, again, it’s been a long time since I started it.)
How about you? What books do you want to revisit?
I hope you enjoy revisiting these books when you have the opportunity.

The audiobook for As You Wish is lots of fun! My TTT
Comment by Carrie @ Reading Is My SuperPower 07.08.25 @ 10:57 amI like how you said you read a book but think that listening to it might be a different experience, I have often thought there are books I have listened to I’d like to read to get that experience as well but in reverese.
Comment by Kel @ rewriting kel 07.08.25 @ 4:15 pmI wouldn’t mind rereading the Thursday Next books. They are so much fun!
Comment by Marg @ The Intrepid Reader 07.08.25 @ 9:11 pmI’m going to a Cary Ewles book signing event in October. I’d like to read/listen to AS YOU WISH before then. He’s got a great voice, so maybe I’ll go for the audio, too. I hope you enjoy your rereads!
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

Like you, I don’t want to tackle “Red Side Story” without rereading “Shades of Grey,” and I would happily reread the Thursday Next series at any time. And I think every once in a while that I really ought to reread “Wuthering Heights,” because I first read it decades ago and barely remember it (ditto “A Tale of Two Cities,” “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer,” “Adventures of Huck Finn,” and several other classics). Maybe someday. For now, I’ve got too many unread books on my shelves and a Top 100 Books list to complete, so rereading is not a priority . . . until I feel a sudden whim and find myself with a treasured old book in my hands. I can never be sure where my mood is going to take me 🙂
