Usually, I don't reread a lot of books because I'm focused on what's next, or, these days, usually reading for multiple book clubs. There are some books that were very much of a place and time and I don't reread not because I'm afraid of not loving them as much but because I know I won't, because I've discovered upsetting things about the authors that damper my enjoyment of the books. I'm not going to mention those books, because that would be a different post. All of my most favorite books (LOTR, Dune) I've read more times than I can count, although I don't do annual rereads like I once did. So, I'd have to think of books I've both only read once and would at least theoretically be interested in reading again. However, I'll try to think of a few. Happy Top Ten Tuesday!
- Tehanu by Ursula K. Le Guin--I remember really loving this but it has been many, many years since I first read it.
- Dawn by Octavia Butler--I actually may have read this more than once? But this was a seminal book for me in my childhood, so I'd be very sad if I didn't love it as much.
- The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood--Ok, I actually did read this a second time more recently, and I remember it holding up---but I'm still kinda scared whether it would hold up to another reread?
- Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood--I think I only read this once and I really remember loving it, but I wonder if it would hold up now.
- The Winner's Trilogy by Marie Rutkoski--I remember these being very good, but I only read them once.
