Oh dear, it’s been a while since my last T5W post. There are so many books I’d love to re-read, but I’m never able to find time for them. There’s always a new, shiny book waiting next to them and the curiosity of unknown usually wins ;). But these few titles are on my MUST-re-read list. It might take me some time to get to these, but this list used to be a bit larger ;). And I’ll skip the Harry Potter books since I’m actually reading the new, shiny illustrated editions as they come out. Well… within a year of publication anyway :P.
5. The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov
A good old classic and one of the few books I was made to read at school and actually enjoyed.
Why would I want to re-read it? Mainly because I want to know if the book is really something I liked or if I had a strange phase back then. Plus it has the cat-devil :D.
4. The Martian by Andy Weir
This time in English, because I read it in Polish and I have a strange feeling it will be even better in original language :D.
I was really close to re-reading it within a month of the first read, but I’ve decided I want a shiny hardcover copy of the book for myself and I still haven’t found one with the nice orange cover… it seems only the movie covers came here… but I’m stubborn! I’ll find it and it will be mine and I’ll read it again. And maybe one more time 😛
3. Stardust by Neil Gaiman
I’ve read this years ago and I simply need to read it again because I’m starting to forget what happened!
Plus I’d really like to own it. There are these nice hardcover editions of Gaiman books showing up lately and I like how they look.
2. Broken Aro by Jen Wylie
A lovely story I’ve read a few years ago and I waited for the next volume to show up after that. Many books later I totally forgot about this series and I’d really like to read the first book again and continue reading. Right now there are 3 volumes ready and one planned, so… I want to read them 😀
1. River God by Wilbur Smith
And a book that might not be my usual genre, especially since the continuation is Indiana Jones type action-adventure-archeology story. I Loved It! And since I haven’t finished reading the series, I’d love to read all of the books again and then continue reading.
Do you have a must-re-read shelf? What’s on it? Or maybe you’re constantly re-reading some chosen stories? Let me know 🙂
If I had time, The Martian would definitely be on my re-read list.

The Master and Margarita is also one of my favourite books that I had to read for school! It was seriously amazing and I would love to read it again as well, it’s been ages after all. Great list! 🙂
