Greetings readers!
Lately I have been thinking a lot about rereading. Mostly because I have absolutely no time to reread anything. My ARC/request pile is literally tipping over the edge and I need to really bring that number down. So in times like these, I like to reflect upon old books I have read that I want to jump back into sometime in the future. And trust me there are A LOT. Some more pertinent than others, so I really want to try and get them in.
That being said, with the spring and far away (yet approaching) summer seasons, I wanted to list all the series that I NEED to reread in the coming months.
The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis
~ Because it has been a while and I am lacking.
Seriously, it has been faaarrr too long since my last Narnia reread. Trust me I’ve watched the movies plenty of times since then, but the books I haven’t revisited in a while. I really want to jump back into my favourite fantasy world, so hopefully I can do that this summer.
Grishaverse books Leigh Bardugo
~ In preparation for King of Scars!!!!
Soooooo some of you may know that my Witch Queen, Leigh Bardugo is coming out with a series based on her Grisha character Nikolai Lanstov and I couldn’t be more excited!!! But it has been years since I read the Grisha trilogy and honestly, I don’t remember much about it! I was conversing the other day with a friend who had just recently read the books and let me tell you, I had almost no clue what she was talking about.
So in prepping for this new book, I am going to host a BARDUGO BONANZA: ALL THINGS GRISHA! in the late summer/early autumn season! I will be reading all the books in the Grishaverse and while I don’t have the exact details planned yet, I was wondering if some of you would be willing to join me?!
An Ember in the Ashes & A Torch Against the Night by Sabaa Tahir
~ Reaper is coming!!!!!!!
This is actually going to happen very, very, very soon. With A Reaper at the Gates releasing mid-June, I wanted to get in an AEITA and ATATN reread in…because some details are starting to fuzz…and avoiding spoilers for this series is not going to be easy! So I am hoping to get in a reread sometime May or early June!
Legend series by Marie Lu
~ Because apparently I like to torture myself?
Yeah. I recently got the graphic novel Legend and After Legend (which was the pre-order gift for Warcross, the epilogue of Champion in Day’s POV). AND I WANT TO REREAD THE SERIES, BUT I AM IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM PREPARED FOR THAT HEARTBREAK AGAIN.
BUT I WANT TO EXPERIENCE IT AGAIN.
WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELF?!!!
The Penderwicks series by Jeanne Birdsall
~ Because THE PENDERWICKS AT LAST is coming!!!!!!
If you are new to my blog (Hi!), you have to know how much I adore, ADORE, The Penderwicks series by Jeanne Birdsall. They are utterly amazing, emotional, hilarious and adventurous. I am so, so, so, so in love with these books and with this last book coming in May, I am ready to be broken.
The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer
~ Self-explanatory
DO I REALLY HAVE TO EXPLAIN!???!?!?!?!
I did a reread of the main series last summer, but this summer I AM GONNA READ THEM ALL!!!! The main series, the prequels, the novellas, the graphic novels and I’m gonna colour my darn colouring book!
Let me know what you think! What series are you looking to reread soon? Have you read all of these series or just some? Do you like rereading?
Happy (re)reading!

I read Narnia but I just don’t like that series… I read four of the books when I was sick last year because I couldn’t read long books. I read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe when I was a kid though.
I also want to try planning on rereading the fairy tale stuff like Cinder and my Beauty and the Beast books sometime. And Confessions of a Sex Columnist… Geekerella… and several others I read last year. I read some good books last year!
