I asked, you answered: Your favorite rereads
I love hearing the many book recommendations from all of my readers. I’ve compiled a list of YOUR favorite books to reread. If you would like the printable list sent to your inbox, pop in your email address below!
Recently, I did a post about the books I’ve loved enough to re-read.
And of course I wanted to know what book are so good YOU re-read them!
Whether these are books you read once and then went back immediately again and re-read, books you read as a child and revisited as an adult or books you re-read every year or holiday season, this was such a fun list of titles!
Here are the books that came up the most often as re-reads!
FAVORITE BOOKS TO READ MORE THAN ONCE
Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery
I read this so many times as a child! I hadn’t read it in decades, but was so excited to dive into it with my girls a few years ago. Luckily they loved it as much as I did! We’ve now watched the movies and finished the series together! A pure delight!
The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion by Beth Brower
I started this series in 2024 and the first few books were pretty slow for me, and it wasn’t until book 5 in January that I suddenly REALLY caught the bug for this series and then ended up reading the whole series a second time and now am listening to the audio version. I’m all in and eagerly waiting for the next book in 2026!
Winter Solstice by Rosamunde Pilcher
Every time I ask for suggestions for Christmas books, this book gets recommended. Although it is set at Christmas, I have heard it is very winter cozy. I haven’t read it yet, but it has been on my list!
Magnolia Parks by Jessa Hastings
This is the first book in a wildly popular TikTok-famous romance series following a London socialite Magnolia Parks and bad boy BJ Ballentine, whose messy, on-again off-again relationship keeps pulling them back together. But as secrets surface and their toxic cycle begins to crack, they’re forced to confront whether their love is meant to last.
Lord of the Rings by J.R.R Tolkien
This epic fantasy trilogy follows Frodo Baggins’ perilous journey to destroy the One Ring and defeat the Dark Lord Sauron. It is filled with iconic characters, mythical creatures, and an entire world waiting to be discovered.
Persuasion by Jane Austen
Jane Austen knows how to write a sweet, charming, feel good romance! Anne Elliot once broke off her engagement to Captain Wentworth under pressure from her family. But eight years later, he’s back, successful, handsome, and possibly still holding a grudge. As their worlds collide, their slow-burn romance proves that their love just may be a little delayed.
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
This beloved story by Jane Austen is pure magic. I remember many afternoons of my mom ironing or folding laundry while watching the Colin Firth Pride and Prejudice. I would estimate that I’ve seen it at least twenty times. Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy…a thousand times yes!
Ella Enchanted by Gail Levine
This clever, funny, and sweet retelling of Cinderella might be one of my top five all-time favorite books! Ella was cursed shortly after birth to obey any order given to her and there doesn’t seem to be any way for her to break the curse on her own. Which means she’ll need to track down the elusive fairy that cursed her in the first place and convince her to remove the curse.
Skyward series by Brandon Sanderson
My husband and now my two oldest daughters are HUGE Brandon Sanderson fans and this was the first book I’ve read by him! This one takes place in the future where pilots are the heroes of the human race and Spensa dreams of becoming one like her father. But her father’s actions years earlier look like they’ll keep her from recognizing her dream.
Mark of the Lion by Francine Rivers
Hadassah, a young slave girl, falls in love with a handsome aristocrat. Will she choose Rome? Or will she cling to her faith in God, even during a time when Romans begin feeding Christians to the lions.
Wednesday Wars by Gary D. Schmidt
I love Gary D. Schmidt books and this is my favorite of his! I just LOVE this middle grade about a boy suffering through his seventh grade year. The Vietnam War is raging and his home life is a complicated by his ambitious father and his teenage sister, but the worst thing is that every Wednesday every other student goes to religious education and he has to stay in the classroom and study Shakespeare with his teacher. This book is funny, smart, and 100% fantastic. I have recommended it hundreds and hundreds of times. The companion novel, Okay for Now, is just as good. (Full review here)
Farmer Boy by Laura Ingalls Wilder
Right into Farmer Boy and this is probably my favorite book in the whole Little House series. (Instagram followers may remember when I thought I’d lost my beloved 70+ year old copy. Yikes!)

I teach 7th grade reading and I love the book, Orbiting Jupiter, and so do my students. I recommend it to all the boys who don’t really like to read and it always hooks them into reading. Could you do a list of books similar to Orbiting Jupiter? Thank you!
8th grade teacher here — The Wednesday Wars is one of my favorite books! I’ve also enjoyed Restart by Gordon Korman and The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin every time I’ve read them over the last several years.
I think The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy is probably my most reread book of all time, and I love it just as much every time I reread it. Fun fact, I’ve still not watched either of the movies.
