So good.<br /><br />For some reason I was kind of surprised to see that you don't really reread books. I don't reread tons of books, but if I really loved a book (or if it's just been a really long time since I've read it), I like to revisit it from time to time. I kind of equate it to rewatching a favorite movie or TV series. (I don't know if you do that either, though.)Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14757174923718324262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470970948526381708.post-59724055908886145452016-07-29T02:49:07.160+10:002016-07-29T02:49:07.160+10:00the book thief is one of the only other books i re...the book thief is one of the only other books i reread (the other being pride and prejudice, duh) regularly. it gets me every time. Guernsey is one of my favourite books of all time, so fun. i have only read that one twice, but like 6 years apart so it's not really something i reread often either haha.<br />i love jamie and the broke & the bookish. i'm always looking at her top ten prompts to see if there is something i want to join in on.Kristen @ See You In A Porridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592108031437491276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470970948526381708.post-41156045201858847302016-07-22T09:10:10.863+10:002016-07-22T09:10:10.863+10:00I love The Book Thief so, so much.

Both are such powerful WWII novels and they've stayed with me for so long. I need to read Between Shades of Grey and The Pearl That Broke Its Shell and The Power of The Dog/The Cartel because all sound so interesting in their own ways. Plus, if you're recommending them, then I have a feeling that I'll like them a lot! So many great books, so little time!Ashley Lillishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07780724561089709501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470970948526381708.post-39125637678390351512016-07-21T06:55:58.452+10:002016-07-21T06:55:58.452+10:00I love The Secret Garden.

It was one of my favorites. I fantasized and still do about discovering a secret garden. I may have to read it sometime. I like all your picks.
