It's interesting to me to see how many I have zero recollection of also. Particularly the modern 'thrillers' (not thrilling  ). |
I did over 30% re-reads, which is high for me even as a big re-reader
I sometimes will do batch reading of authors, but really mine is when I get hooked on series by an author - I re-read a lot by Patricia Briggs this year as an example. Probably where a lot of those re-reads come from
