I’ve been trying to reach 500 life books since around 2022. On Goodreads, I’ve logged almost every book I can remember reading since childhood (only the ones that really count as books). What’s been slowing me down is how often I re-read. I’m a comfort reader. When life is hard or my thoughts get too loud, I always go back to familiar favorites.

Right now, I’ve got some brain fog, so bear with me. I wanted to give my re-reads their own space. I doubt anyone really needs full blog posts about them, most people just read whatever I put out without expecting much more. But if you do want to know how I feel about these books in more depth, let me know in the comments.

Every once in a while, I’ll probably write longer reviews of re-reads just because I want to. I can see myself doing this for all of Emily Henry’s books, Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, and The Summer I Turned Pretty series, since those are my ultimate comfort series. Until the mood strikes for a full re-read, though, here are some of the books I love that I’ve picked up again recently.
