I have an idea. It's a very nebulous, blobby idea, but I think I'll find it easier to give it a shape if you all help me. We've all pretty much agreed that 2013 is going to be an awesome year for books. Between new books from favorite authors, sequels to beloved series, and stunning debuts, I'm going to be rolling in good reads.
However, the more wonderful new books I read, the less time I'll have for the wonderful old books sitting on my shelf. Yet with every day I feel the urge growing within me to revisit some of my favorite books. I find it very difficult to take time out for old books with unread books waiting to be reviewed, and I'm sure many of you feel the same way.
So here's what I'm proposing.

| Ahem |
We dedicate one month this year to rereads. Right now, I'm thinking May, though if you guys have a better idea, please say so. So from now to May, we can read all the pretty new books and stockpile reviews like chipmunks storing up for winter. Then, starting May 1st, we get to dig into all the books we've adored and neglected. Of course, you're allowed to read new books during May as well (I probably will), but the point is to allow yourself
guilt-free rereading time.
I may even put up a linky and offer prizes. Like I said, this idea is still in the blobby stage.
What I want to know is if any of you would be interested.
Comment below if you'd like to join me in a month of rereading, and don't forget to share with your friends. Also, any suggestions would be more than welcome. If I can get enough people willing to participate, we'll get the ball rolling. If not, I may still devote May to rereads, but then you all will miss out on all the fun. ;-)
I love this Idea!
ReplyDeleteI have so many books I would love to re-read but I'm up to my eyes balls is TBR's & ARC's I just keep putting them off until later.
So I would defiantly participate :)
Oh & that gif of Bruno mars I so damn cute!
Yay! That's one!
DeleteI would LOVE to reread. It's one of my favorite things, but I doubt I have the willpower to turn down review copies for May (in fact, I already have a couple).
ReplyDeleteS'okay. Like I said, I'll be reading new books in May as well. But by telling myself it's a reread month, I won't feel guilty when I do reread.
DeleteIf you do this, I'm totally in! I think May is a good month for it too. :)
ReplyDeleteYay! Two!
DeleteThis sounds like a great idea! :)
ReplyDeleteHuzzah! Possibly three!
DeleteYes... three! ;-)
DeleteDEFINITELY three!
DeleteI have been thinking the exact same thing for weeks! There are so many books I want to re-read, books I read in my early teens, series where I forgot what the very beginning was like, etc. I actually wanted to make a post about this in the next couple days and start looking for a re-reading challenge or something. But dedicating a month to it sounds like a good idea too :) I'm in!
ReplyDelete*happy dance* Four!
DeleteI love this idea! I have a pile of books that I've been wanting to reread, but I feel guilty doing that with all of the new books I've got waiting for me. Sounds like a really great plan. :)
ReplyDeleteYahoo! Five!
DeleteI think this is a brilliant idea!
ReplyDelete*applauds* Six!
DeleteCount me in!
ReplyDeleteSeven!
DeleteI soooo want to do this! I've been eyeing several things I want to re-read, I just wasn't sure where to fit them into my reading plan. So excited about this hopefully happening!
ReplyDeleteWoot! Eight!
DeleteYep, I'm in. By the time May rolls around, I will be completely desperate for some comfort reads. I can already think of a couple series I'd like to tackle again: the Study series and the Prydain Chronicles.
ReplyDeleteThis will be fantastic!
YAY! NINE!
