For many years, I've re-read a favorite book on New Year's Day. It is such a fun way to start out the new year.

I've had (am having) a bit of a reading slump this summer, and one of the only things that has worked for me is re-reading prior favorites! I think the familiarity is a comforting place to be, and also that it can lower the level of energy needed to get into the book. I don't feel like myself if I'm not reading, so it was such a relief to figure out what to lean on right now!

I've also enjoyed re-reading favorites on audio. The fresh format always seems to bring something new to light... even when I've already read the physical copy oodles of times. Interestingly, re-reads are one of the only ways I can do fiction on audio.
