Books I Read Over and Over Again

It's no secret that I love reading. A lot of people read a book once and then don't read it again because they already know what happens. Yeahh..... not me. Books become like old friends to me. I get so attached to them that sometimes when I'm in the library I'll see a book I've read and I just smile at it. It's really weird actually. Sometimes I just pick them up, hold them, and then put them back on the shelf. I recently read The Fault in Our Stars by John Green (READ IT. But prepare yourself emotionally.) and I couldn't give it back to the library. It just sat in my room and I would pick it up every once in a while, then put it back and go on with my life.

Anyway... There are some books I love so much that I just read them over and over. It's a very VERY long list, but here are the best of the best.

1. Ella Enchanted
I think I've read this... three times? It's just so hard not to love. Come to think of it, everything by Gail Carson Levine is just gold. Which leads me to the next book..

2. The Two Princesses of Bamarre
Also written by Gail Carson Levine. I have literally read this book six times. I am not even kidding right now. I read it for the first time when I was about twelve and I still absolutely adore it. I actually own a copy now, but I'm kinda considering checking it out from the library and "losing it" because that copy feels like MY copy. I've read that copy 5 out of the 6 times. I want it.

3. Divergent
You've probably already figured out that I'm obsessed with this book. I've read it three times since it came out... last year? Possibly 2010, I don't know. But, like, seriously. This one might pass up The Two Princesses of Bamarre at some point. It's that good.

4. Insurgent
Sequel to Divergent. Read it twice. I read it in a day and a half the day after it came out(some time in May). Then I read it again a couple months ago.SO GOOD.

5.Need
I think I've read every book in this series twice. Except the last one, but that just came out. Give me time.

6. The Giver
I think it's funny, I never read this for school, but I love it, and all these people who did read it for school say they hate it. I'm like "What is wrong with you?!" I think it is getting more popular now though, since the dystopian thing is a lot more popular.I've read this one twice.

7.The Indigo Notebook
I read this book about once a year, usually in the summer. So far I've read it three times. I love it, but it makes me want to travel so badly. *sigh* I can't win

8. The Jumbee
This one is basically like Phantom of the Opera, but placed in the Caribbean. What could be bad about that? It's soooo good. I've read it... twice? Yeah. Twice.

9. The Sorcerer's Stone
I'm not entirely sure how many times I've read this book. Probably around 3 or 4. I just can't get over how good it is. I mean, I love the entire series, but this is the only one I own. It kind of cracks me up innocent the conflict is. And it's not even innocent. But I mean compared to Death Eaters and Horcruxes, it kinda is.

10. The Hunger Games
I've read the entire series twice, and the first book 3 times and it never gets old.

Well those are the best ones. I've started keeping count of how many times I've read books. I write little tick marks on the first page, just to see. It's kinda fun.

Anyway, off to my last Algebra class before Christmas break. YAAAYYY!!!!!
