12 Box Office Stories and Books I Like But Won’t Re-Read Or Re-Watch

---

Hello again! Here we are at another Tuesday. Our standard weekly date, or it is for those of us who adore this weekly book nerd meme. Today, like last week, we get another unusual topic. We talk about (and other things) books I like but won’t re-read. Let’s have a look.  

That Artsy Reader Girl April 10: Books I Loved but Will Never Re-Read (submitted by Brandyn @ Goingforgoldilocks)  

Okay, we all know I don’t re-read. This has been a topic of discussion prior to today. It’s not that I wouldn’t like to re-read books. It’s just that… I don’t re-read books. (I’m beginning to feel like I’ve got so many topics I could write about for those discussion posts I’d like to publish more of, yet don’t. Note to self: start writing said discussion posts.)  

By way of explanation, the reason for this is, simply because there are too many new books on my shelf. They’re what I reach for when I’m ready for a new read. They’re the books that excite me most. (Ironically as I’m writing this, I am re-reading Once Upon a Prince because of the new film adaptation.) If I’m not picking out my own book to get lost in, then the preventing reason is that publisher or author provided TBR.  

That’s not to say I’m not still interesting in the many books I’ve read and liked, it’s just there’s no time.   So, with all that in mind, let’s get to listing today’s list. Some of the books below might be books I liked over loving, and therefore just don’t feel a particular urge to re-read. Others may be books I did love and want to prioritize re-reading (someday), and then you might even see some films on the list that I loved but – *gasp* – still haven’t re-watched!  

Here we go. Books Stories I Loved But Will Never Maybe Re-Read or Re-Watch.  

BOOKS I LIKE BUT WON’T RE-READ

1: Young Widows Club by Alexandra Coutts | This is, for my reading experiences, a really unique YA novel. I did enjoy it, so while I adopt the “never say never” motto, I don’t know that I see myself re-reading this one anytime soon. Goodreads books I like but won’t re-read

2: If I Stay by Gayle Forman | This is actually one I could see myself re-reading because as I’ve mentioned time and again, I liked it way better than anticipated. Still, it does kinda fit with today’s topic just because I gravitate towards lighter and happy reads! Goodreads

3: The Fault in our Stars by John Green | Unlike If I Stay, this is one I don’t see myself re-reading. I mean, if ever I did, it’d be for the humor alone, which is quite entertaining for this genre. That said, if I do want to re-live the story, I’d probably just re-watch the film. Goodreads

4: Luther and Katharina by Jody Hedlund | This is another story I didn’t expect to like, but did. That said, simply because I’m not a big historical fiction reader – particularly this era, I don’t see myself giving this one a re-read either. Goodreads  

5: The Winding Road Home by Sally John | This is a throwback read for me – and one of the first books I reviewed, so I don’t remember all the particulars. But it sure sounds like I thoroughly liked this one. I just don’t know that I see myself re-reading it. Goodreads

6: The Meeting Place by Janette Oke and Davis Bunn | Once upon a time, this series was one of my favorites. Much as I enjoyed the series at the time, I simply don’t see myself ever picking this one up again. Goodreads

MOVIES I LIKE BUT HAVEN’T RE-WATCHED

1: The Age of Adaline | Though very different from the normal period dramas (or contemporary romance as this mostly is), I adored this film. Why I haven’t enjoyed a re-watch yet, I’ll never know. But either way, this one is beautiful.

2: Belle  | Despite the iconic titular name, no this film has nothing to do with the Disney character. Instead this is a 1700s historical period piece. There’s something elegant and really beautiful about this story. Despite fond memories of it, it’s another one I’m ashamed to admit I’ve not yet watched a second time.

3: Into the Woods (Disney) | Went to see this one way back when it was in theaters with my mom and aunt. I was the only one who really enjoyed it, and yet to this day, I haven’t watched my Bluray. Why remains a mystery.

4: La La Land | Despite seeing this one in theaters, and liking it – despite the controversial end, I haven’t re-watched this one. Still, just thinking about it makes me want to pop it in the DVD tray.

5: Marvel Cinematic Universe | Believe it or not, there are very few Marvel films I’ve re-watched. This is weird. I know. (Weird because I’m a Marvel film nut.) Fellow MCU fans, which one should I re-watch first?  

6: Sing | Aww, this one is so cute! I remember thinking it was the best thing ever when I was watching it, but alas, I haven’t gone back for a second viewing – and I really want to. What’s your favorite “feel good” animated flick? books i like but won’t re-read

I’d love to hear all about the books you loved but won’t (or maybe won’t?) re-read! Do you go back and re-read those books you thought were the “best ever” back in the early reading days?
