Maybe if you read more books it is more likely that you reread books. We have an excellent library, which means I have more books to read than I have time to read but you know, I don't watch movies or shows twice either so maybe it is a personality thing.

I never tire of them as they are my very favorites! I suppose the re-reading takes away from time to read new, never-read, books, but since I read on the average 3-4 books per week, my old friends on my home Wednesday Elfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11125647693828663780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874262419752354657.post-4385926496019505642021-03-16T14:08:12.667-05:002021-03-16T14:08:12.667-05:00There are simply SO many great books out there, wh...There are simply SO many great books out there, which is why I never read a book twice though I did.

From your brief synopsis of each, every book sounds like it has merit and a story to tell. Thanks so much for this interesting overview of both the books and the program which are new to me.
