I’m not one to re-read many books because I have SO many books to read that I find I have a hard time justifying re-reading. I have many books that I absolutely love, though, and would be happy to read again and again if I had the chance. I’m also thinking that these are probably the 10 books I would choose to take with me to a deserted island, or they are the 10 books I would choose to hide if we had a Fahrenheit 451 situation… the books I’d steal if I were The Book Thief. You get the idea! And of course there’s romantic elements in all them because I’m Jana.
1. The Hating Game by Sally Thorne
Swoony, hilarious office place romance.
2. On the Island by Tracey Garvis-Graves
Exciting, enthralling, forbidden romance between two people stranded on a deserted island.
3. Just One Day by Gayle Forman
Whirlwind romance that happen in Paris, in one day.
4. Wish You Were Italian by Kristin Rae
Girl ditches art program to travel solo in Italy, continually running into swoony guy.
5. A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas
Rhysand. Enough said.
6. Say Yes to the Marquess by Tessa Dare
The perfect historical romance with tons of amazing banter and a really swoony scene involving cake.
7. The Summer I Became a Nerd by Leah Rae Miller
Popular girl embraces her inner nerd one summer, falls for the comic book boy, and never turns back.
8. Hunting Prince Dracula by Kerri Maniscalco
Sexy, swoony, dangerous, dark, and truly captivating.
9. Love, Lucy by April Lindner
Girl backpacking through Florence, Italy falls in love with the street musician as well as the country.
10. Starry Night by Debbie Macomber
Christmas love story that takes place under the Northern Lights in the Alaskan bush with a reclusive, husky, cold teddy bear of a man and his really huge, really lovable dog.
So glad to see “Wish You Were Italian” on your list. That’s one I’ve been meaning to read for a looong time now. Also recently added a copy of “The Hating Game” to my shelf, so hoping that one is a fun read too. :)
I love Just One Day! It’s so magical since I’ve always wanted to go to Paris <3 I really want to read ACOMAF and Hunting Prince Dracula, and now that they're on this list, I'm even more excited!!
YESSS to a Court of Myst and Fury – that’s the whole reason why I keep rereading that series. I can’t wait for the novella in May (Is it okay to start a countdown for these types of things?) I totally need to re-read The Hating Game as well. I devoured that book and think I’d enjoy it much more the second time around (something about finishing things at 4am makes me forget the details)
I loved The Summer I Became a Nerd! Shamefully though, I haven’t read most of these. *hides*
I should have Hunting Prince Dracula in my list and The Hating Game… :) :) but I already have ten (deep sigh)
Needles to say, Great list Jana. :)
ACOMAF made my list too!!!! I have some of these on my tbr list and now that I see they are on your re-read list I know they need to be moved up!
I’ve only read ACOMAF from your list. I’ll have to check out the other ones :)
I haven’t read any of the books on your list, though I do have a Debbie Macomber title on mine. I really do enjoy rereading books – know it takes time away from the new books, but sometimes, it is just the best. LOL
I swear this topic was made for me and my love of rereading!
Also, I’m currently rereading ACOMAF right now. :-)
I felt the exact same way when I was writing my post! Although I do reread books on occasion, it’s really hard to ignore all of the other (hundreds!) of books on my “To Read” list in favor of something I’ve already read. #bookwormproblems
It makes me so excited to see Hunting Prince Dracula on your list! I read and loved The first book so this gives me high hopes for the second!
Everyone seems to be talking about The Hating Game lately! I need to read it asap!
I haven’t read any of those, but you’ve convinced me to read On The Island which I’ve requested from the library. I love Macomber’s Christmas romances! I haven’t read that one yet. Maniscalco’s Stalking Jack the Ripper series is on my TBR.
On the Island was wonderful.ACOMAF is antbr, hopefully soon.
Starry Night by Debbie Macomber sounds good!
This prompt made me realize I’m not a huge rereader… books I love are seared into my memory anyway, and with so many books on my tbr I don’t have a ton of time for rereads. But there are few that make their way on to the read again tbr
So bummed that I’m not posting today (sick and not feeling up to it) because I love this week’s topic! I so agree with On the Island. That was the book that introduced me Tracey years ago and it remains my favorite. I fell in love with Anna and T.J. and their story and kept thinking about them long after the book was over.
I’m not much for romance novels, so I haven’t read any of these. I’m glad you love them enough to re-read them. That says something about how well they’re written :)
Happy TTT!
Funny enough… I have ON THE ISLAND on my list and switched it out. I should always go with my gut instinct. It was such a great read.
I am not really a re-reader either. But I have re-read Barbara Kingsolver’s Animal Dreams and the Harry Potter series. I haven’t heard of any of the books you’ve re-read!
I love The Hating Game so much!
I’m taking my sweet time reading A Court of Mist and Fury and I’m enjoying it so much. Now I see why everyone is so ugh with Rhysand!
I really want to read the Stalking Jack the Ripper series but I heard it’s kinda of scary so I skipped it though the more I see it around the more I’m curious (plus those covers are so intriguing)!
The Hating Game is one of my favorites to reread :) I watch movies over and over again so I’m trying to relax and let myself reread more when the mood strikes. I always enjoy it.
Yes yes yes to Hating Game and ACOMAF! And thank you for giving me a list of more romances to read. :)
Some great choices on your list. I hope to be back participating next week.
Thanks to you I have one more book on my reading list: The Summer I Became a Nerd. I keep it for this summer!
I really like re-reading, so that was an easy list to fill. 😁
I keep meaning to read One Day–I have it on my Kindle. I love Gayle Foreman!
I hope you don’t mind that I did a past topic this week instead…I figured I wasn’t really “breaking a rule” if I went with another one instead.
