I just can't seem to get into new reads right now, drawn back to old favorites. Some of the series that have been completed are drawing me in for a complete nonstop reread.

With all the books I want to read, it somehow doesn't make sense that I am drawn into a rereading session. No real understanding why...

So I ask you. Am I alone in this occasional obsession to reread?
Like many here, I re-read my favorites a lot.

For me, it comes down to moods. Sometimes I am in a particular mood and I want a book that fits that mood. Sometimes, I just want to revisit old friends. Sometimes, I just want to enjoy the craftsmanship of the book and not be distracted by what happens next.
