Anyways, I'm going to be re-reading Florence & Giles in the near future. Having read the book once already, I'm extremely excited to give it a second shot and see if my adoration has stood the test of time. It's one of those books that leaves this weird feeling inside you - a feeling that has clearly lasted.
Do you have that one special book that you keep re-reading? A nostalgic book from your childhood, or maybe something more recent? I'd love to discover what book holds a special place for you, and why it has affected you that way. Don't hesitate to leave a comment!

Here's the link to GGM's Strange Pilgrims:

I recently started re-reading Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. I took a break and am reading other books, but I'm a little bit afraid I won't like it the same and then I'll be so disappointed!
Aloi: Thanks, same to you! And I agree, the cover is really weird! I'll definitely check out that review. Sounds like an awesome book!
Jenny: I can understand that! I kinda feel the same way about Florence & Giles. I hope I feel the same about it!
I hadn't heard of this before, thanks for the heads up. And I get that feeling where I just have to own a book too :)
Carrie: No problem, hope you get the chance to read it sometime!
I recognize the title, but not the cover... I'll have to look it up. I have lots of books that I just HAVE to have my own copy of.
The Mists of Avalon is my pride and joy. I LOVED that book. BUT I haven't reread it yet. I keep saying I'm going to but what if I don't love it the same? I've reread a few books and it seems like I see tons of things that I don't like the second time around. We'll see if I ever do reread it...
Candace: that's exactly how I feel! I love the book so much the first time that I don't want to destroy that love the second time. Hopefully that's not the case!
